He iPhone SE 4 It is one of those devices that can see the light at any time. It is not a product with annual renewal, so its arrival is uncertain and usually puts us on alert as spring progresses. This is the Apple’s favorite time to present its SEand although the new model is not expected to be a surprise immediately, with those from Cupertino anything could happen.
In addition, in a few days he will celebrate his event Let Loose, an online appointment in which the new iPad Pro and iPad Air will be presented. There are no serious rumors or leaks that make us believe that the iPhone SE 4 could arrive on May 7but no one can assure that Apple does not have a One More Thing hidden in the sleeve.
So, to be prepared, we wanted to make a review of the most important leaks of the iPhone SE 4. There are 6 keys about this device that you should know to get an idea of what it is like and assess if it is worth buying when it is launched. Let’s go there!
A design based on the iPhone 14
Everything indicates that Apple, finally, will put aside the design of outdated models for the aesthetics of the SE series. Several leaks let us know that their grip It will look very similar to that of an iPhone 14. What’s more, the company could reuse the chassis of this device for the iPhone SE 4.
For the most clueless, this includes flat frames, a size larger than the iPhone SE 3 and a screen that leave behind gigantic bezels to enjoy a notch. In addition, the latter would be in charge of hosting Face ID to forget, once and for all, Touch ID.
Now, another leak talks about some somewhat strange dimensions for this iPhone SE 4. Despite supporting the iPhone 14-like design, he claims that Their measurements would not be exactly identical, so both devices could share a design but not the chassis. These are the supposed leaked figures:
- Height: 148.5mm;
- Width: 71.2mm;
- Thickness: 7.8mm.
An iPhone SE 4 with a 6.1″ screen
If you change the body it is mandatory to change the screen. Following the line of the iPhone 14, iPhone SE 4 would include a 6.1 inch panel. This is the same size that the base series has included for the last five generations, although it would be the first time that an SE would mount a diagonal of these measurements.
Information about the panel is scarce, although it is easy to predict that it will not include ProMotion, Apple’s system to offer an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. Everything indicates that Its refresh rate will be 60 Hzthat is, the standard that has also been present in almost all models, with the exception of the last three generations of the ‘Pro’.
Therefore, if Apple decides to include the same panel that we saw in the iPhone 13 and 14, the iPhone SE 4 would have a screen Super Retina XDR 1170 x 2532 pixels which, although it is not the panacea at the moment, represents a great change compared to the previous ‘SE’.
A single camera, again
Something that would remain unchanged would be the camera section. At least when we talk about the number of sensors and the versatility of the photographs that the device would take. A leak has even shown What would the back be like with a single lens?yes, this being larger than that of the iPhone SE 3.
Where there is probably an update is in the camera technology, sensor capabilities and shooting modes. Now, today everything indicates that Buyers of this iPhone SE 4 can forget about wide-angle or an optical telephoto lens.
Performance worthy of the iPhone 14
The screen and design would not be the only things borrowed from the iPhone 14. Some leaks suggest that the iPhone SE 4 would include an Apple A15 Bionic. It is a considerably powerful processor that would allow you be ahead of much of the Android catalog.
In turn, the RAM memory would go down one step. A couple of reports from a few months ago claim that The next cheap iPhone would arrive with 4 GB of RAM and not with 6 GB like the iPhone 14. That is, on paper, it would handle multitasking somewhat worse. Even so, it is not something that should worry potential buyers, nor a detail to reconsider the purchase of this iPhone SE 4.
A 64 GB iPhone SE 4?
It’s not all good news. The cheap iPhone could use an uninteresting asset to contain a more attractive base price: the 64GB storage. Apple stopped including them in its normal devices a long time ago, but nothing prevents the SE series from keeping them and so on. offer a 128 GB version with a higher cost.
Nothing is confirmed, and Apple’s movements in recent years make us think that The iPhone SE 4 could arrive with a 128 GB base versionbut we recommend you be prepared in case the Cupertino company is thinking of doing one of its own.
An uncertain launch: 2024 or 2025?
Finally, it’s time to talk about its availability, the date that marks when you can buy it and have it in your hand. The truth is that there is nothing official, and not many leaks that confirm or deny anything. Some mouths speak of a imminent launch before the end of the first half of the yearwhile other more conservative ones leave the announcement for mid-2025.
For now, everything would look too good for this iPhone SE 4. Which makes us think that Apple could delay it for another year so as not to steal so much attention from the current iPhone 15 and the future iPhone 16.
