The next iPhone SE, the long-awaited fourth generation, should arrive soon and now we are getting new interesting rumors.
The iPhone SE has always been a different smartphone with which Apple can do almost whatever it wants. The first model came as a surprise by reusing an old design, something that also happened with the second generation. However, the iPhone SE 3 repeated the same design, a somewhat outdated design for the year it was released.
For that reason, We are all looking forward to seeing the iPhone SE 4, since presumably Apple will have to use a more modern design. This can make it a very good option for many users thanks to its lower price. The rumors have come and gone the last few months, but since MacRumors We have new information about the iPhone SE 4.
New rumors of the iPhone SE 4
iPhone SE 4 design
Based on this new information, Apple could use the iPhone 14 design for your iPhone SE 4. The iPhone 14 is quite similar to the iPhone 13 on the outside, but inside it introduces important changes to its chassis.
The iPhone SE 4, known internally under the codename Ghost, is expected to receive a new design derived almost entirely from the base model iPhone 14.
However, there are two important new features that Apple would introduce: the Action button and the USB-C port. The Action button is a multi-use button that replaces the mute switch on the iPhone 15 Pro and the USB-C port could be the future of the iPhone.
iPhone SE 4 cameras
In the cameras section, we will see many differences compared to the design of the iPhone 14. MacRumors says that we will have a single rear camera with the flash aligned in an arrangement similar to that of the third-generation iPhone SE. Although it’s unclear how it will be positioned, Apple has developed at least five different designs for the camera module, with minor differences between them.
The upcoming iPhone SE will feature a single camera with the flash aligned in a similar arrangement to the third-generation iPhone SE.
Of course, the camera would be powerful since it is said that Apple will bet on a 48 megapixel main sensor in the iPhone SE 4. An important change that would greatly enhance the iPhone SE 4, since it would allow it to have a 12-megapixel 2x zoom.
Screen and Face ID on the iPhone SE 4
It is likely that the iPhone SE 4 has a new OLED panelderived from the iPhone 14. The device will not have a button with Touch ID, but will have Face ID as a means of biometric identification.
Apple 5G modem
Apple is also working on an in-house 5G modem, codenamed “Sinope,” and it looks like it is using the iPhone SE 4 to test the new hardware. This may be Apple’s first iPhone with this new modem.
It is worth noting that the information presented here is preliminary pre-production information. The fourth-generation iPhone SE is still early in the development process, and changes are always possible.
iPhone SE 4 launch
MacRumors does not talk about release dates, but taking into account its information, we can get an idea that this iPhone SE 4 is not close. Apple continues to sell the iPhone 14, so it makes no sense to launch an iPhone SE with this design and with improvements but cheaper.
In addition, it is said that Apple would not have its own 5G modem ready until 2026, so it is quite difficult for us to see it before that year. Practically It is impossible for this iPhone SE 4 to come out in 2024.
