Exclusive information on the next iPhone SE 4 reveals multiple new features. But Apple would also decide to remove a large element from the smartphone.
L’iPhone SE 4 should be very different from its predecessors. It was Mark Gurman, an eminent journalist from Bloomberg media and a specialist leaker, who collected several pieces of information regarding the next phone affordable from Apple. Nearly 3 years after the release of the last model, Apple would choose to redesign its “low cost” iPhone to bring it closer to its main range.
According to Gurman, the iPhone SE 4 would finally abandon the main button which notably allows the phone to be unlocked via “Touch ID”. The iPhone SE of 2022 would therefore be the last Apple phone to have this iconic button and still very appreciated by many users. Apple would therefore choose to switch to Face ID, its facial recognition for the next iPhone SE 4. A more secure function, but also faster.
Another novelty on the power side since the iPhone SE 4 would be equipped with an A18 chip which we already find on the latest iPhone 16. Enough to give a big performance gain to the firm’s “low cost” iPhone even if the previous model already excelled on this point.
But that’s not all since, still according to Gurman, the iPhone SE 4 would be equipped with an OLED screen for much better details and contrast than on previous models which always had an LCD screen (in 2022, it was quite annoying). Apple would also decide to add the “Dynamic Island” notch that has been found on main iPhones since the 15th generation and which allows all kinds of interaction.
The iPhone SE 4 would be unveiled at the start of 2025 according to Bloomberg alongside a new iPad Air. However, we will have to wait and see if all these new improvements do not increase the price of the iPhone SE, which would bring it dangerously close to the prices of classic iPhones.
