iPhone SE 4 chip - A18 chip?
Although the iPhone SE 4 is positioned as a mid-range device, its configuration and performance are not bad at all. There is a revelation that iPhone SE 4 will be equipped with Apple's most advanced processor - the latest A18 Bionic chip, with which, whether it is playing games, watching videos or dealing with multitasking, the new iPhone can be easily handled with super smoothness.
It is not surprising that the iPhone SE 4 will use the same chip as the iPhone 16, after all, similar situations have occurred before. (The iPhone SE 3 has the same A15 Bionic chip as the iPhone 14.) What makes users more concerned is whether the iPhone SE 4 can use the new Apple Intelligence features in iOS 18 after using the A18 chip.
If so, this will be a big selling point for iPhone SE 4. But from the current news, in addition to chips, Apple Intelligence also has certain requirements for memory, and perhaps the iPhone SE 4 is equipped with 6GB of RAM, so there is still a question mark here.
iPhone SE 4 display - design innovation
According to the recently revealed renderings, the front of the iPhone SE 4 comes with a screen with a center notch, which has a built-in camera component and Face ID sensor component. In other words, this iPhone SE 4th generation will officially remove the Touch ID Home button and support Face ID instead.
The new iPhone SE 4 will feature a 6.1-inch LTPS OLED screen with a 60Hz refresh rate, measuring 148.5 x 71.2 x 7.8 mm and weighing 166 grams. It is made of aluminum alloy and covered with glass on the front and back. The front of the body is similar to the iPhone 13, and the back of the body is similar to the iPhone XR, equipped with only a single camera lens, but it's not just any camera, it's the same 48-megapixel rear camera as the iPhone 15.
Combined with previous news, the new iPhone SE 4 adopts the same flat side bezel scheme as the current iPhone lineup and applies a USB-C port design at the bottom of the body. There are a set of latest renders circulating on social media shows that the USB-C connector of iPhone SE 4 is made of the same color as the body.
LCD screen or OLED screen?
In terms of screen, from the iPhone 12 series, the iPhone digital series has fully turned to OLED screen, which is undoubtedly a pity for users who prefer LCD screen. As time goes by, the information about iPhone SE 4 is becoming clearer and clearer, and it is now basically certain that the iPhone SE 4 will use an OLED screen with a 60Hz refresh rate.
iPhone SE 4 pricing - likely to rise
It is worth mentioning that since it will be a major update compared to the current model, the price of iPhone SE 4 is very likely to increase. According to @Revegnus1, Apple plans to adjust the price of the iPhone SE 2024, and the starting price may be raised from $429 to $469, an increase of about 10%. In addition, due to the influence of exchange rates, pricing in some regions will be affected.
In short, the iPhone SE 4 can be said to be a huge leap forward for the SE series, and the full-screen design makes it look more stylish. Moreover, if it really supports Apple Intelligence, the standard version of the iPhone 16 may have to be careful, because the iPhone SE 4 could become a considerable competitor.
