NEW iPhone SE 4 - Rumors & What to Expect!

[@Aggouric]

If Apple recycled the 13 mini, removed a camera, put a binned A18, and usb-c, it could be perfect and wouldn't disrupt Apple's sales

[@MikeSparksMusic]

If only 😭

[@NextGeneration9501]

i hope they would keep 429 dollar price tag or even get it lower

[@sstarsick]

ikkkk

[@james_wheelz]

i think the mini line didn’t do well because of its cost. For 429$ a mini would sell far better. As 699$ i think was just too much for the mini unless someone truly wanted the smallest screen. But having it priced at 200-300$ less then the regular non pro iphone will make more sense to buy one not just for a smaller screen. Because having it cheap for an iphone makes it more affordable which creates more demand for the device beyond just it being small

and marketed it to the tween's marketed as their first phone.

[@nicholasmoffett4327]

i REALLY hope they take the SE 4 as an opportunity to bring back the mini form factor, but i also really doubt they will.

[@lifeisshørt_420]

it’s not happening

[@tamwilfred]

It's possible that with the SE lineup, they are simply repurposing old parts from their inventory. If they anticipated higher sales for the mini, there could be an excess of mini components stored in a factory.

Honestly the same. Have my SE 2020 and upgraded to the 13 Mini in 2022. Just recently replaced the battery and screen (had to get an LCD) and now it’s revitalized! Super happy, definitely don’t need anything more for the next 4 years.

Apple should add constructor option on the website and build custom phones prototypes before creating a new version. unfortunately they have no idea what people need ( I mean we need mini) 🤔

[@lilzuplada1564]

They should make the screen 5.8” to 5.9” to replace the mini in their lineup. While at it, use LCD to have an alternative to oleds. Older people would love this

[@fullbass1426]

The 5.8 size of the x/xs/11 is a better size than the minis 5.4. Theres more space for a bigger battery too.

[@Kingcommaalex]

I work at apple and I absolutely hate selling this phone to people and also that it’s the only phone that doesn’t use MagSafe so we gotta wrap the cables at the end of the night. I can’t wait for the SE4 it’s very exciting

The iPhone SE3 looks so sad tbh

[@paulharrison8379]

The saddest thing about the iPhone SE 2022 is the fact that the Google and Samsung phones that are at its price point have nicer and larger displays. They are slightly slower but performance is not the only thing that people consider when buying a phone.

[@YISTECH]

I love small phones. I always owned big phones, currently S22 Ultra, but yeah small phones are great. I had the 4, 5s and 1st gen SE. Great phones. I might have big hands but something about the small form factor just screams "phone".

[@UmairLad]

I’m using a SE 2, if the SE 4 comes out i’m getting it ASAP

[@PWingert1966]

The SE iPhone is what we got our tweens as their first phone. It's affordable and a great device for 12- and 13-year-old to have as their first communications and internet device. In our house when a child graduates from high school, we buy them an iPhone Pro providing they have at least a B average. if they don't obtain that average, they are expected to purchase their own cell phone and return the SE to us. This is a great motivator for most children. Given the new restrictions on cell phones being available in school we only allow our children to have them before school or when they have returned home. They are not allowed to have them at home. If there is an emergency the school's office is called and the message is relayed to the child.

[@just_mdd4]

"It'll be an XR" people say, even though it'll have a chassis nearly congruent to the iPhone 14.

[@Luma_29]

I think the only reason they haven’t updated the current SE is solely due to the fact that technically the A15 haven’t been cut from the lineup yet. Once the iPhone 14 series goes, the SE will probably adopt the iPhone 16 chip and then Apple will do the same song and dance where they forget about it for 3-4 years

[@jacobrzeszewski6527]

I know it's unlikely but I thought the iPhone SE4 would be based on the Xr. Even at the time the Xr was good value for what it was. I'm on a Samsung A54 rn due to life circumstances, but I'm itching to get back to the fruit. But not for $500+. Used us also an option.

[@itsAlzatron]

Imo, the SE should take over the Mini series and adopt the same dimensions as the 12/13 Mini. Sure, a more premium Mini device would be a lot better but it does make sense, especially if they only refresh the SE lineup every few years as opposed to every year. The first SE used the body of the iPhone 5S and as far as I'm aware, that sold like hot cakes at the time.

[@jordannels9899]

They should just hire you to make the SE4 since you get it. This is what people want and its what makes sense as well

[@azn1011]

i got the SE 3 for 200 bucks over a year ago. great deal and i love it

[@Ariffy04]

I wish they somehow kept the home button

[@Sach6251]

I think they should give two cameras with the XR/XS/11 type modules if they want to keep the less fashionable/less premium design. We get extra camera and they keep the old design everyone is a winner.💯

[@Zenguy89]

The xs was a nice design though, I doubt it will have two cameras.

[@97nelsn]

There are people holding on to their 12 and 13 mini and making the iPhone SE 4 a 5.4 inch display would help drive sales from existing 12 and 13 mini owners. Granted there’s no ultra wide camera but I’m sure people will mind the sacrifice of an ultra wide camera for a smaller iPhone with modern internals and better battery life.

[@bobi7152]

What Apple should have done is release the SE3 in the chassis of the xr, and then the SE4 in the 13 mini. This way it will justify the „Special Edition“ name much better - reviving a popular/iconic design for which they already have the production capabilities.

[@DSTimelapseHD]

Back in early 2023, I bought an unlocked, refurbished iPhone SE 2nd gen for $175. I love it!. It's nice n small, performs just fine and the battery is (usually) fine. Also because it's unlocked, I was able to purchase a Tesco eSIM when I went on holiday to the UK so that I had mobile data!

[@weightycarlos]

Give people the option to have a normal sized iPhone, and not a phablet. Let the SE 4 have the mini body.

[@mattybraps7620]

I think the mini form factor suits the SE4 well as Apple lacks a mini sized iPhone with the form factor similar to the OG SE/5S.

Xr has been out of production for years. Apple is gonna use spare parts that are currently available - so it should have the iPhone 13 and newer design with single cam.

Big battery and high solution and good enough camera are what most non tech users need.

[@redey1290]

If it's in a 12/13 mini form shell, and has USB-C, that alone would get me to consider upgrading honestly. There just isn't any "flagship" phone offered in a size below 6" with the longevity of an iPhone anymore. The S24 is real damn close imo, but it's 6.1", which is like half an inch bigger than the 13 mini. An S24e would be literally PERFECT imo, but again it just doesn't exist.

@@jejunamja hope it stays with you for 8 more years and beyond. Changing an aging battery when needed, is basic with ifixit, and iPhones are the simplest devices to replace! I hope you grow attached to your 13 and treasure it, because it can output some amazing performance, but most phone chips never see usage. Don't get enticed into getting a newer one with more gimmicks, when yours already serves you perfectly! And the money... you can save! Personally, I only consider the 200-300$$$ range. Which is already a lot for a phone !! But if kept for long, it serves its purpose I conclude. Good day Sir!

iPhone SE 4 could have a body from a Mini iphone

[@wertywerrtyson5529]

In my country the SE3 has actually increased in price since launch. From about 520 dollars to 600 dollars. They better bring an SE4 that is good. My guess is it will be the iPhone 12 body, that may sound old and it would mean smaller battery and larger notch than if they use the 13 or 14 body but they don’t want to make it too good I think.

[@ashjcoronado]

I really doubt it will get the iPhone 15 main 48mp sensor knowing how cheap Apple is with this line and considering that the the current and past generation of iPhone SE’s have stuck to the iPhone 8 sensor, the most I see it getting is the iPhone 13 Pro’s main sensor which the exact same the 14 uses.

[@riickyworld1]

I still think that the next iPhone SE will be the iPhone XR with the latest non pro chip. It’s already edge to edge display, with one camera lens…. No need to take already existing design, like the iPhone 14, and somehow fit one camera lens.

[@Carsonnetic]

Well, they don’t make XR chassis anymore, so that would make it more expensive. The point of the IPhone SE is to use things they have, i.e. the 14 chassis, to make a cheaper phone with newer specs.

[@hey_bucklebob]

It would honestly be better if this phone just replaced the 14 in the line up

[@OUTKAST_BoxedREVIEWS_AndMORE]

Hopefully the SE4 takes on a new body of its own and make it 10inches. The bigger and thicker, the better. Let's cross our fingers!

[@turbosanjica1248]

It will have 1 camera that is 3 years old, an OLED screen that is 3 years old, Usb-C 2.0 from 2012, 60hz technology that is 10 years old, a battery that is a few years old and will last no more than 4 hours... But that's why it will have new colors that have never been seen before, a mega innovation .... Price for advanced technology $500

[@Carsonnetic]

I agree, it will be the 14 chassis. I keep seeing people saying that it will be an XR, but, they aren’t making XR chassis anymore. It would be too expensive to start a whole new production line for the iPhone SE when the IPhone 14 chassis is still currently being made. The entire point of an SE is to give you the newest features for a low price! This I s also why it will not be a 13 mini size.

[@fabistar2000]

The only design which would make sense for the SE4 would be the X/XS design. If not, what would it be then? 11, 12, 13 design? If they‘re going for a differen/new design it wouldn‘t be an SE but rathee something like the 5C or XR.

[@davehugstrees]

There has to be a compromise somewhere. I'm thinking they'll put TouchID in the power button like on iPads, and it will have no FaceID. And maybe no action button either, if they really don't want to cannibalize sales.

[@macrochipped]

I don't think Apple is worried about cannibalizing sales for any iPhone. People who want to buy the Pro iPhones will definitely buy them regardless.

[@TazzKId]

@@macrochippedagreed. I do not see Apple using any new tactics in the next SE. so Touch ID and etc would be a no.

[@vaultboy1419]

That would increase production cost since they don't have a TouchID based power button for iPhone. But they do have a bunch of FaceID modules laying around.

[@tylerdarling6895]

Do we have any thought to the rumor that the phone will be the size of the iPhone 13 mini? That way it’s a little upgrade on size from the SE three but not a huge one. Also, they could use a single camera sensor and leave more room bigger battery so we have a competitive battery for 2025😊

[@paulharrison8379]

I think that the iPhone SE 4 will have a reduced performance version of the A18 with fewer CPUs and GPUs. This is because the old TSMC low yield 3nm chip making processes used to manufacture the M3 and the A16 will be scrapped by TSMC. I think that it is likely that all low end chips made by TSMC for Apple in 2025 will be be variants of the A18 and M4 with fewer CPUs and GPUs.

[@damlwt6657]

Either following the iPhone XR screen size ratio of 6 1, or mini @ 5 4, I do agree with you.. most probably apple will use the 5 4, screen size ratio for SE 4, to add on abit on the 🔋 to 2438 amp then previous addition of 2018 amp to support with the A18 chipset that's what apple always like to do on all flagship devices, n of course they will use A18 chip for SE4, Definitely will still be in 4GB maybe up to 5GB with 128 as base 256 n 516 is the Max, as for camera will be 1 Only with basic android 48mp..

It appears that Apple tends to keep older products in stock and sell them at their original release price. I recall a situation where they were selling the M1 MacBook Air for $999 in 2022, even after the M2 MacBook Air had been released and Best Buy was selling them for $899. It seems like Apple takes advantage of customers who may not be aware of pricing and assume that the price at the Apple store is always the same.

If Apple really want to push Apple Intelligence I wouldn't be surprised to see them bring out a new SE and drop all the previous iphones from the lineup.

[@Dudofall]

Here's my bold prediction: the SE 4 will use the 14's design, including lightning. Think about it, Apple could save so much design time by changing nothing about the physical design. They can reuse spare parts for the iPhone 14 to build the SE, which I kinda thought was always the point. It's not very environmentally friendly to put together a whole new production line just for a budget phone. Also it will cost at least $530 unlocked.
