The whole iPhone SE series for Apple has been a nostalgic nod to the past, whereas out there, the whole world is charging ahead with dynamic islands, multi-camera setups, and everything is AI-powered, but now the iPhone SE 4 looks like it might have a glow-up. The design leak suggests this could be the first time Apple may not be using retro design in the iPhone SE lineup for a while now. Thus, it might be just about time to say goodbye to your dear home-buttoned SE and actually get a Face ID like the rest of the lot.
Apple is rolling out updates for its budget friendly iPhone SE, and the iPhone SE 4 will totally be different in a way that it will change its typical way. This has long been anticipated and much awaited, as it finally brings the longtime old model closer to that of the modern designs and great features replaced with those of the iPhone 14. An introduction of an even bigger 6.1-inch OLED display with Face ID support and 5G will make this phone a life changer for those who want to buy an affordable yet feature rich iPhone.
Modern Look with New Features:
From the information leaked by the case maker Spigen, the iPhone SE 4 is going to ditch its thick bezels and the home button seen on its previous models. Like the iPhone 14, it would feature some thinner bezels with a notch. A dual camera system that comes with iPhone 14 has been replaced with a single 48MP rear camera. With just one camera, the SE 4 boasts a massive upgrade from its predecessor. Though it already features a home button, the SE 4 is reportedly being further improved into this by being equipped with Apple’s Face ID technology. The set also includes most of Apple’s other iPhone models, so the device isn’t meant to be any different.
Rumour has it that the iPhone SE 4 will contain an A18 Bionic chip, which has become synonymous with even the cheap kinds of iPhones that exist. All this would possibly contribute to higher speed, improved efficiency, and greater battery life. It is also claimed that the phone is going to have 8 GB of RAM, which makes even smoother operation in numerous tasks. The most substantial change includes the USB-C port, steering away from Apple’s traditional Lightning port. In this diversion, Apple falls in line with USB-C in all its products and also assures better compatibility with third-party accessories and better speed for fast charging in the future.
Budget Friendly:
It would seem unlikely that Apple would hold a major event to launch the SE 4. It is rumored that the iPhone SE 4 may be presented via YouTube and a press release on February 11, 2025. Pricing continues to remain unknown, but speculation suggests a launch price just below $500 (roughly Rs.49,000 in India). Although this is slightly more than prior SE editions, it still represents a good choice for budget conscious smartphone users compared to some of Apple’s other flagship offerings.
The SE 4 could be an option for those who want a modern iPhone without spending too much, but weigh your requirements beforehand to see if the iPhone SE 4 really meets the bar set by your expectations. With a completely reworked design, improved performance, and a reasonable price, Apple would be hoping to win over a lot of users with this budget friendly iPhone.
