The release date of the iPhone SE4, expected to be Apple’s cheapest iPhone model, has been leaked. It has been revealed that the American tech giant will not hold a special event for this model and will announce the upcoming device through a press release. So when will the iPhone SE4 be released, what will it be like, and what will the price be? Here are the details… Apple’s next-generation iPhone SE model is reported to be unveiled next week and could be available for sale within February.
According to Bloomberg, Apple will not hold a special event for the iPhone SE 4 and will announce the device through a press release. The new iPhone SE 4 will have a design similar to the iPhone 14.
Apple will modernize the SE series by removing the thick bezels and the Touch ID Home button.
With the release of this model, Touch ID will completely disappear from the iPhone series.
Apple also plans to use its proprietary modem chip for the first time in this model.
Apple’s modem chip will not be as advanced as Qualcomm’s modems, but this move will be the first step in reducing the company’s dependence on Qualcomm. The new iPhone SE 4 will have Apple Intelligence support and will come with the same A18 chip and 8GB of RAM as the iPhone 16.
Additionally, it will be equipped with a USB-C port instead of Lightning for sale in Europe.
On the camera side, the device is expected to have a 48-megapixel single-lens rear camera. The current iPhone SE 3 model is selling for $429.
However, it is mentioned that Apple may increase the price due to faster chip, Face ID, and other upgrades.
Still, the price is expected to be kept under $500 so that the device can compete with Samsung and Google’s affordable models.
