Apple’s budget-friendly smartphone, iPhone SE, is rumoured to get an upgrade soon. The iPhone SE 4 is expected to be released in early 2025 as a refreshed variant of the iPhone SE (2022). However, the Cupertino-based tech giant hasn’t revealed whether it plans to roll out a new iPhone SE model.
Meanwhile, a new leak has emerged out of Korea hints at an insight into the price details of the phone. The iPhone SE 4 is expected to feature a similar design as the base iPhone 14.
iPhone SE 4 to be more expensive
According to a new post by the South Korean blog Naver citing sources mentioned that the iPhone SE 4 will be priced at less than $500 (around INR 42,000). In South Korea, it is expected to be priced at more than KRW 8,00,000 (around INR 46,000).
On the other hand, a previous report suggested the iPhone SE 4 would cost between $499 (approximately INR 42,000) and $549 (approximately INR 46,000).
The iPhone SE 4 is rumoured to ship with Apple's first in-house 5G baseband chip, which is said to increase the price tag of the phone. Apple has been using Qualcomm's modems all these years.
The Apple handset is expected to boast a 6.1-inch OLED panel and run on an A18 chip, that also powers the latest iPhone 16. The upcoming model could support Apple Intelligence features.
The iPhone SE 4 is tipped to come with a single 48MP rear camera. It could feature 6GB and 8GB LPDDR5 RAM options.
Moreover, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to feature an aluminium frame and support FaceID.
