With the final quarter of the year approaching, the smartphone business has been focusing on the upcoming iPhone 15, which will be announced in mid-September. However, in a sector that has one foot in the present and the other in the future, there are already iPhone SE 4 rumors. It should be noted that Apple will only announce this phone in 2025 to replace the cheapest model released in 2022.
Recall that the first iPhone SE debuted in 2016, adding a cheaper option to the brand’s catalog compared to regular models. In addition, the series was characterized by its small screens, in an era where mobile inches have steadily increased. The third generation SE measures 4.7 inches. It is significantly more compact compared to the smaller iPhone 14 which measures 6.1 inches.
This is now believed to change in the iPhone SE 4. This hardware is rumored to be 6.1 inches. In addition, its design will be similar to the iPhone 14, which the manufacturer released last year.
iPhone SE 4: possible features of an Apple phone
Although before the official announcement of iPhone SE fourth generation, there are already numerous speculations about the phone. Next, we offer an overview of the most prominent.
Design inspired by iPhone 14.
According to a recent tweet from @redditorHe The iPhone SE 4 will have the same look and dimensions as the regular iPhone 14.. Meanwhile, it is expected to arrive with a 6.1-inch screen. The rumor matches comments posted earlier in the year by Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst known for accurately predicting Apple’s plans.
Otherwise, last October, Display Supply Chain Consultants CEO Ross Young also indicated that the next SE will have 6.1 inches. Yang is another reliable source for information about upcoming Apple presentations. Of course: on occasion, he said that this command will appear on the market in 2024, a coordinate that, apparently, will not be fulfilled.
As for the design of the future SE, it is expected to include cutout on the front (famous notches) and thus the bezels will be thinner. At the moment, conflicting reports are circulating about the possible inclusion of a dynamic island in the iPhone SE 4. In other words, there is no consensus on this feature yet. For those who don’t suspect anything, we’re talking about the solution that Apple has implemented around the front camera of the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max to display notifications and other features that vary depending on the context of use.
On the other hand, like other copies of the series, it will come with single camera main, on its back face. It will be 12 megapixels.
iPhone SE 4 will have a Face ID system
The iPhone SE, which launched in Cupertino in 2022, has a fingerprint scanner on the front. The 2025 version is expected to include the Face ID system., replacing the Touch ID in question. ABOUT, telephone arena indicates that reducing the cost of manufacturing the TrueDepth sensor used for face recognition will allow this technology to be implemented in the most affordable series. It’s worth remembering that the 2017 iPhone X was the first to include Face ID.
The USB-C port will be part of the iPhone SE 4.
As we have already indicated in hypertextthe iPhone 15 series will debut USB-C in Apple smartphones. A gradual move away from the traditional Lightning port is not exactly the will of the American technology company. This change is partly in response to pressure from European Union regulators to demand a common industry standard.
However, it’s no surprise that the 2025 iPhone SE 4 could come with a USB-C port. Not only because it is the one that we find in the vast majority of phones on the market, but also because it will follow a logical line after its adoption in the iPhone 15.
The phone boasts the iPhone 15 Pro action button.
The iPhone SE 4 is rumored to be improved action button which Apple will add to the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, according to the aforementioned leaker. A somewhat curious speculation given that this add-on won’t be available on either the standard iPhone 15 or the Plus variant.
What does this component offer? Instead of a switch that modern iPhones use to mute the sound, it will be programmable and will allow you to activate several functions. From accessing the Siri assistant to launching the stopwatch or opening the note-taking app, among other options.
More speculation about the future of the iPhone SE
- According to Jon Prosser, it will be IP67 certified. This will provide dust protection and water resistance.
- Judging by the time coordinates, your operating system will be iOS 18.
- He iphone se 4 price is still a mystery, given that its release is still a long way off. For reference, the cheapest current generation model with 64 GB of memory is sold in Spain for 561 euros. The most expensive version with 256 GB of internal memory is sold for 761 euros.
When will the cheapest Apple smartphone be released?
At the end of 2022, the aforementioned Ming-Chi Kuo commented that Apple canceled the launch of the new SE in 2024. The decision was largely due to “consistently lower-than-expected sales,” the analyst said. models with basic functions. Among them are the third generation iPhone SE and the iPhone 13 mini.
Now the assumptions point to 2025 for the arrival of the iPhone SE 4. Considering that the third generation model was released in March 2022, it is possible that the next one will see the light of day in the same month. If this is confirmed, before this model we will see sales of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16.
