iPhone SE 4 specs (expected)
The iPhone SE 4 will likely sport a 6.1-inch display, up from 4.7 inches available on its predecessor. It is expected to feature an OLED display panel for the first time.
The handset is anticipated to include a USB-C port, ditching the Lightning port. The iPhone SE 4 will feature Face ID replacing the Touch ID Home button present in earlier models and also a single rear 48MP camera with improved resolution for sharper images.
Moreover, to support Apple Intelligence features, the iPhone SE 4 will boast 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and an enhanced A18 chipset same as the one integrated into the iPhone 16 lineup.
The handset is also anticipated to use Apple's first in-house 5G modem. Apple’s current iPhone 16 device lineup still uses Qualcomm modems. The tech giant has extended its 5G modem contract with Qualcomm until 2026.
With all these upgraded features, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to carry a sub-$500 price tag.
