The Apple iPhone SE 4 is rumored to replace both the iPhone SE 3 and iPhone 14, with an expected price of $600.
Some reports suggest the price could even be as low as $500, though opinions vary on this claim.
The iPhone SE 3 was similar to the iPhone 8, featuring a small 4.7-inch screen and the Touch ID design. However, this design feels outdated at its $500 price point.
The upcoming iPhone SE 4 is expected to offer a modern design, closer to the iPhone 14, with a larger screen and better battery life.
Reports also suggest that the iPhone SE 4 will include Appleโs latest A18 chip, a 48MP main camera, and a 12MP front camera.
It might also introduce features like a new camera button. These upgrades could make the SE 4 nearly identical to the iPhone 16, except for its single camera and notched display.
If these rumors are true, the SE 4 could offer great value, but it raises questions about its pricing strategy. How can the SE 4 be $300 cheaper than the $800 iPhone 16?
Three scenarios are being speculated:
- The SE 4 could directly replace the SE 3 with no price increase.
- It could replace the iPhone 14 and sell for $600.
- Apple could keep the iPhone 14 in its lineup and price the SE 4 higher to fit into the 2025 product range.
For now, Apple has not confirmed any details. Fans will have to wait for official announcements to see how the SE 4 fits into Appleโs lineup.
