What To Expect From iPhone SE 4
The iPhone SE 4 is said to pack a more modern look, resembling the iPhone 14 with a full-screen display and slim bezels. The smartphone will skip the Touch ID home button, a staple of earlier SE models. Instead, the new SE is likely to feature a 6.1-inch OLED display, a major improvement over the 4.7-inch LCD screen of the SE 3.
Apple is reportedly planning to equip the SE 4 with its latest A18 series processor, the same one found in the iPhone 16 series. Moreover, it will be backed by 8GB RAM, supporting Apple Intelligence, Apple’s AI-driven suite, and ensuring smooth multitasking and future-ready performance.
As for cameras, it could come with a 12MP rear camera, the iPhone SE 4 is likely to feature a single-lens 48MP rear camera. While it won’t match the cameras on premium iPhones, this camera should offer decent image quality, backed by the company’s Apple’s computational photography features like Smart HDR and Night Mode. A 12MP front camera is said to offer better selfies.

Battery life on the SE 4 is set to improve, with rumors hinting a 3279mAh battery- significantly larger than the SE 3’s 2018mAh capacity.

Speaking of the price, the iPhone SE 4 could retail in the US between $499 and $549, a step up from the SE 3’s starting price of $429. For the Indian market, it will start around Rs 45,000, slightly higher than the SE 3’s launch price of Rs 43,900, though still significantly below Apple’s flagship models. With its affordable price point, the iPhone SE 4 could become a popular choice for those entering the Apple exosystem or upgrading from older models.
