Apple was previously reported to commence mass production of its affordable iPhone SE 4 in December of this year, meaning that the handset should be ready for an unveiling in the first quarter of 2025. In terms of hardware, this low-cost model is going to be one capable performer because a tipster has shared the specifications sheet and pricing range of the iPhone SE 4, right down to the dimensions, so let us check out the details right away.
Pricing of the iPhone SE 4 could increase to $549 due to flagship features; new model is said to ship with an A18
One of the biggest internal changes arriving to the iPhone SE 4 is Apple’s custom 5G modem, which is codenamed ‘Centauri.’ As for the rest of the specifications, Jukanlosreve shared an entire sheet showing that the handset will feature a 6.06-inch LTPS OLED with a 2,532 x 1,170 resolution, with up to 800 nits of peak brightness, along with the Ceramic Shield upgrade. The M11 material, which was said to have been used for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus models, is said to arrive for the iPhone SE 4.
Moving on, the A18 that is found in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus is said to be found in the iPhone SE 4, along with 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM. Both of these upgrades mean that the affordable model will be able to run Apple Intelligence, as the latter has become a huge marketing play for the technology giant in order to sell as many iPhones in a calendar year as possible. Coming to the camera, it appears there will only be one 48MP Sony Exmor IMX904 unit present at the back, with a 12MP shooter at the front. Sadly, the video recording capabilities of both cameras were not detailed.
As for the dimensions, the iPhone SE 4 could measure 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.8mm and sport a decent 3,279mAh battery. Even though the cell is smaller than the competition, the iPhone 16 Pro’s battery is only slightly bigger at 3,582mAh. Also, for those who do not know, the iPhone SE 3 was outfitted with a measly 2,018mAh capacity, meaning that the difference between the iPhone SE 4’s battery will be a whopping 62.5 percent.
Other additions, such as Face ID and IP68 dust and water resistance, are expected, along with wired charging support up to 20W and Qi2 and MagSafe wireless charging support up to 15W. Looking at this hardware, apart from a few exceptions like the downgraded display, the iPhone SE 4 is pretty much an iPhone 16 with a different name and reduced price tag. Speaking of price, the device could be offered in the $499 – $549 range, though the actual figure is unconfirmed.
Given everything that Apple has packaged based on this specifications sheet, we have to say that it is a decent price, and it could end up being one of the most popular iPhone launches the company has ever done. The unveiling is expected in March 2025, so we will have all the details ready for you then.
