Apple’s new mid-range era

While the iPhone 16 family, expected in a few months, is already old news in the rumor mill, mostly reliable leakers like Ice Universe are currently speculating about Apple’s 2025 lineup. Not only the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro and possible slim offshoots play a role, but also the long-awaited iPhone SE 4. If you pay attention to the Twitter If we trust the specifications discussed, the fourth generation of the mid-range smartphone could be equipped with a modern OLED screen in spring 2025, among other things. Apple’s upcoming A18 chip, up to eight gigabytes of RAM and a single 48-megapixel camera are also being discussed. Technical data of the Apple iPhone SE 4:

• 6.06 inch OLED display with 60 Hz
• Apple A18 chip (expected in 2024)
• 6GB or 8GB RAM
• 48-megapixel main camera
• Aluminum housing, USB-C
• Face ID (facial recognition)

Big upgrade at a high price?

Compared to the now two-year-old iPhone SE 3, which is equipped with a 4.7-inch Retina display, the Apple A15 chip and a 12-megapixel camera, the iPhone SE 4 represents a significant upgrade. And Apple will probably charge dearly for that. Experts expect a price increase of up to 120 US dollars (via 9to5mac) compared to the current US base price of 429 US dollars. And while the information on the processor, display, RAM, etc. often vary slightly in the rumor mill, the leakers agree on one point. Apple is said to be saying goodbye to the iPhone 8 design with a home button and launching the iPhone SE 4 with a notch and Face ID facial recognition. However, it is still unclear which smartphone (e.g. iPhone 14 / 15 / 16) the new model will be based on.
