iPhone SE 4 Production Could Start in December: What Does This Mean for You?
Tl;dr
- Production of the iPhone SE 4 is expected to begin in December.
- The iPhone SE 4 could adopt a design inspired by the iPhone 14.
- Two models of the iPhone SE 4 could be available.
iPhone SE 4: imminent production
According to information disclosed by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the mass production of theiPhone SE 4 could start in December. Indeed, Apple suppliers forecast the production of 8.6 million units for the first quarter of 2025.
A release planned for spring 2025
If production goes as planned, we could see the iPhone SE 4 land in the first three months of next year. The exact date is not yet known, but a spring release seems likely. Indeed, the previous models, the iPhone SE 2016 and the iPhone SE 2022, were launched in March, while the iPhone SE 2020 was unveiled in April.
New features for the iPhone SE 4
Rumors indicate that the design of the iPhone SE 4 will be inspired by that of the iPhone 14, thus abandoning the appearance of the iPhone 8 that characterized the previous two generations. It looks like we have two iPhone SE 4 models: a standard model with a 6.1-inch screen and a iPhone SE Plus 6.7 inches. These new models could integrate Face ID facial recognition, a USB-C port, a 48 MP rear camera and 8 GB of RAM to power Apple intelligence.
Additionally, the iPhone SE 4 could feature an A18 chip, although this information remains to be confirmed. This new smartphone must in any case have sufficient power to operate the artificial intelligence functionalities without a hitch.
A foray into 5G for Apple
Another new feature: the iPhone SE 4 would mark the start of the integration of Apple’s 5G modem, the development of which has had its ups and downs. It is rumored that this new 5G modem would first be deployed on less expensive Apple products, with flagship products like the iPhone 17 continuing to use Qualcomm 5G modems for the moment.
With all these new features, the iPhone SE 4 therefore has the potential to compete with other inexpensive smartphones on the market. We just have to wait for its arrival scheduled for next year to be sure.
