Apple is set to unveil its more affordable iPhone SE 4 in the first quarter of 2025, and buzz around the device is already making the rounds. A recent leak has shown off the phone's design via an image of its case, and now tipster Jukanlosreve has shared some important specifications and the anticipated price bracket for the iPhone SE 4.
Expected Specs for iPhone SE 4
One of the most significant upgrades could be Apple's new 5G modem, codenamed "Centauri." This in-house development might enhance efficiency and lessen Apple’s need for outside suppliers when it comes to modems.
Display and Durability Features
In terms of the display, the SE 4 is rumored to replace the LCD with a 6.06-inch LTPS OLED screen, boasting a resolution of 2,532 x 1,170 and a peak brightness of 800 nits. The durability of the device could also improve with the inclusion of Ceramic Shield, which is the same protective material found on the iPhone 14 range.
Performance Expectations
For performance, it seems likely that Apple will equip the SE 4 with the same A18 chip that powers the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus models. It could come with 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM and may even support Apple Intelligence features.
Camera performance is expected to stay on the simpler side, as leaks indicate that the device will feature a single 48MP Sony Exmor IMX904 sensor on the back, along with a 12MP camera on the front.
Dimensions and Battery Life
In terms of size, the iPhone SE 4 is anticipated to measure 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.8mm and include a 3,279mAh battery. Although it's smaller than some rivals, this is a significant improvement over the iPhone SE 3’s rather small 2,018mAh battery—an increase of over 62%.
Additional Features and Pricing
Modern features like Face ID, IP68 dust and water resistance, and support for wired charging (up to 20W), Qi2, and MagSafe wireless charging (up to 15W) are also likely to be included.
Lastly, the leak hints that the iPhone SE 4 could be priced between $499 and $549, although this is still unverified. The official reveal is expected in March 2025, at which point all details will be confirmed.
