The iPhone SE 4 is expected to launch as early as next week, with sales beginning later in February. According to a Bloomberg report, Apple plans to unveil the device through a press release, without a dedicated launch event. The iPhone SE 4 is rumored to feature a design similar to the iPhone 14, ditching the Home button and thick bezels. This change will mark the end of Touch ID in the iPhone lineup.
The iPhone SE 4 will likely include the A18 chip and 8GB of RAM, similar to the iPhone 16 series, as well as support Apple Intelligence. It is also expected to have a USB-C port. The device may feature a 6.1-inch OLED display and a 48-megapixel single-lens rear camera. Additionally, the iPhone SE 4 will be the first iPhone to use Apple’s custom in-house modem.
While the current iPhone SE is priced at $429, the new model could see a price increase due to the inclusion of a faster chip, Face ID, and other upgrades. However, pricing is expected to remain below $500 to stay competitive with other lower-end smartphones. Apple is also expected to unveil the new PowerBeats Pro 2 earbuds around the same time.
