iPhone SE 4: Major Upgrades and Features Revealed

According to a report from a Korean supplier, Apple’s upcoming iPhone SE 4 will get significant upgrades, including a 48MP single rear camera and a 12MP TrueDepth front camera.

Camera Upgrades

• The iPhone SE 4 features a 48MP rear camera, which is similar to the main sensor on the iPhone 16. It includes support for Apple’s “Fusion” lens technology, which is capable of capturing high-resolution images and standard 2x zoom-in
• It has a 12MP front camera with advanced selfie and FaceTime.
• Unlike the iPhone 16, the SE 4 will not include an ultrawide lens, which focuses on a single rear sensor.
• LG Innotech will mainly provide camera modules, with contributions from Foxconn and Cowell Electronics.

Design and Display

• The SE 4 will adopt an all-display design similar to the iPhone 14, which will do away with Touch ID in favor of Face ID.
• It will have a 6.06-inch OLED display, which is a notable improvement over the older LCD technology.
• The device also has a USB-C port, which would be compatible with a long-range transition from Apple’s Lightning connector.

Performance Enhancements

• 8 GB of RAM will enhance the performance of the device and support advanced Apple Intelligence features.
• The Multi-purpose Action button can replace a traditional mute switch, providing customizable functionality.

5G Modem

• A key feature is the inclusion of an Apple-designed 5G modem, which will be the first time an Apple device will use an internal chip for 5G connectivity. This is a move away from trust in third-party suppliers.

Launch and Pricing

• The iPhone SE 4 is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2025.
• With an estimated price tag of $400, it is designed to offer luxury at an affordable price.

The iPhone SE 4 promises to bridge the gap between affordability and state-of-the-art technology, appealing to budget-conscious consumers who prefer high-end Apple products.
