The iPhone is fourth generation, long as a revolutionary, judging for all the information we have been publishing in recent weeks and months, seems to be very close. If a few days ago we commented that Mark Gurman pointed to his arrival for next week, we now have news that confirms this rumor.
Gurman, the renowned Apple analyst who works for Bloomberg, has confirmed that what seemed like a rumor in recent days, is now firm information. Yes, we will have the new iPhone 4 in the next few hours. Probably between today and tomorrow.
Gurman now confirms it: New iPhone is 4 in the next few hours
The new Apple terminal of the economic range will arrive in the next few hours, according to Gurman, someone who always has privileged information about this type of facts. And there will be no event, since the Californian company will present said device through a Press note on its website.
Unlike the great Keynotes that usually accompany the launches of the company's most premium models, everything indicates that the presentation of the iPhone is 4 will be through a press release on the official Apple website. This strategy is usual when the company launches products that do not require a spectacular presentation, as with the renewal of iPads or updated versions of more accessible devices.
The leaks about this model have been constant in recent months, and rumors suggest that Apple has made an important leap in design and benefits. The iPhone will abandon the appearance of the iPhone 8 that it has maintained since its first generation and will adopt a more modern format, similar to that of the iPhone 14. This means that the screen will grow to the 6.1 inches and will be Oledleaving behind the LCD technology of previous models. The Home button with Touch ID also says goodbye, to give way to Face ID, something that is already a standard on Apple's most recent devices.
How will the new iPhone 4
Another important change will be the inclusion of a USB-C portleaving behind the lightning connector, in compliance with the European and in line regulations with the transition that Apple has made with the iPhone 15 range. Regarding the camera, this model is expected to have a 48 megapixel sensorwhich will mean considerable improvement compared to previous generations, although it would remain with a single rear lens.
But the great novelty of the iPhone is 4 will be the arrival of the First 5G modem designed by Applewhich will mark the beginning of the end of their dependence on Qualcomm in this regard. In addition, the device will integrate the A18 chip, which is expected in the iPhone 16 series, and will have 8 GB of RAM. This, according to various sources, would make it compatible with Apple Intelligence, the company's new strategy in artificial intelligence, which until April will not be available in Spain.
The current iPhone model is priced at $ 429 in the United States, since in Spain it is not currently sold, but given the jump in specifications, the new model is expected to have a higher base price, possibly around the $ 499. We will see how Apple changes this.
If the rumors are true, Apple's official announcement could come in a matter of hours. Now, the key question is whether this new iPhone will be positioned as an attractive option for those looking for a powerful iPhone at a more content price, or if the price increase will take it away from its initial objective.
