Apple is all set to unleash its iPhone SE 4 in March 2025, which would mark exactly three years since the iPhone SE 3 launched in March 2022. If you follow our updates, you should recall that we had predicted this launch in our previous blog: iPhone SE 4 Launch Timeline Tipped for March 2025 with Exciting Upgrades. This fourth-generation mid-range marvel is expected to bring a fresh design, cutting-edge camera tech, a dazzling display upgrade, and powerhouse performance. Here's the inside scoop on everything we know so far from the latest leaks and reports!
Expected Launch Date of iPhone SE 4
The iPhone SE 4 is likely to be released in March 2025. This will follow the tradition that Apple has always had in releasing its SE series during spring. The release seems quite plausible considering the company's trend of releasing these budget models during this season. As excitement builds up, the March release will place the iPhone SE 4 as a significant addition to the Apple lineup, catering to users seeking an affordable yet powerful iPhone experience.
Camera Upgrades
One of the things that most excites fans about the iPhone SE 4 is the advanced camera setup. As per ET News, the smartphone will include a 48MP primary rear camera, much higher than the 12MP sensor of the iPhone SE 3, which may bring much more excellent photography opportunities. The front camera would also be enhanced with a 12MP sensor meant to capture good selfies and smooth FaceTime experiences.
Apple has apparently partnered with its trusted camera module suppliers for the upcoming iPhone SE 4. LG Innotek remains the main provider for both the front and rear cameras, while Foxconn and Cowell Electronics act as additional supports for other camera components. According to some reports, the mass production of the camera modules is already started in Vietnam and other prime manufacturing centers in preparation for the iPhone SE 4's release date.
Display Details
It's expected to have a bright 6.1-inch LTPS OLED display. The same as on iPhone 13. This makes for an improvement from the 4.7-inch LCD that it found on the iPhone SE 3, giving users an immersive and visually appealing feel.
The company has collaborated with major manufacturers for acquiring the OLED panels in iPhone SE 4. Among the same, LG Display is likely to provide 25-35% of panels and BOE is the other key supplier. Transferring from LCD to OLED screen ensures more vivid colors, deeper blacks, and increased contrast that makes a high-end viewing experience available for users of the iPhone SE lineup.
Design and Build
The iPhone SE 4 will most likely borrow many cues from the iPhone 13. In fact, the overall look of the SE series might get a new refresh, but this time, with more emphasis on the notch and Face ID, rather than relying on the Touch ID home button used in previous models. The device will also have an aluminum frame, so it will be strong yet light, and a glass back, which supports wireless charging. These design updates are to make the iPhone SE 4 more appealing, bringing it closer to the flagship iPhone experience.
Performance and Hardware
The iPhone SE 4 will be powered by the A18 Bionic chip from Apple, which offers best-in-class performance and efficiency. Manufactured using the most advanced process, this chip ensures smooth multitasking, great gaming performance, and enhanced AI capabilities. This marks a new high watermark for the SE lineup.
Processor: A18 Bionic SoC
RAM: 8GB, enabling seamless multitasking
5G Modem: Apple’s proprietary 5G modem for ultra-fast connectivity
These enhancements make the iPhone SE 4 a compelling choice for users seeking flagship-level performance in a compact, budget-friendly package.
Software Experience
The iPhone SE 4 will arrive preloaded with iOS 18, which promises to provide a plethora of innovative functionalities to make it easier to use. Such features include the advanced AI-based photo editing tools that help enhance images in a very easy manner, enhanced FaceTime capabilities by using 3D avatars for a more immersive video call, and real-time language translation for smooth communication between different languages. This ensures that the iPhone SE 4 delivers cutting-edge functionality right out of the box.
Battery Life and Charging
The iPhone SE 4 will have a more powerful battery, ensuring longer usage time and efficiency. It also supports fast charging, so users can enjoy up to 20W wired charging for quick power-ups. The device will also feature MagSafe compatibility, providing effortless wireless charging and easy attachment of MagSafe accessories, which would enhance the convenience and functionality of using the device.
Price Expectations
Considering the major upgrades, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to witness a slight hike in prices as compared to its predecessor. The iPhone SE 3 launched at Rs 43,900 in India. The starting price of the iPhone SE 4 may be around Rs 49,900 or higher, depending upon storage options.
The iPhone SE 4 promises to be a massive improvement over the previous version and should bring the flagship experience to people's hands at a price that isn't so out of range. Improvements in cameras, OLED display size, and faster performance along with some modern design elements might give the smartphone market a game-changer.
