Possible release of the iPhone SE 4 potentially as early as next year

Anticipated Launch of iPhone SE 4 Slated for Early Next Year

The tech world is abuzz with speculation about Apple's latest addition to the iPhone SE series – the iPhone SE 4. Here's what we know so far.

The iPhone SE, appreciated for its flagship-level performance at a modest price, may be making a comeback earlier next year. According to current rumours, Apple is considering increasing production of the iPhone SE 4 in October, according to The Information.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the iPhone SE 4 is its anticipated design. Unlike its predecessors, the iPhone SE 4 is rumoured to measure around 6.1 inches, significantly larger than the current iPhone SE 3's 4.7 inches. The device is also expected to ditch Touch ID and offer an all-display design with Face ID.

In terms of features, the iPhone SE 4 is said to feature one camera lens instead of the two or three found on current models. However, it's reported that the device will include the multi-function action button introduced on the iPhone 15 Pro. Another interesting development is the potential use of an OLED display, a feature Apple has incorporated in all flagship phones since the iPhone 12.

As for the cost, the iPhone SE 4 is anticipated to cost under $500, with a potential slight increase due to inflation and increased costs. This price point has been a key selling point for the iPhone SE series, offering flagship performance at a budget-friendly price.

Interestingly, the iPhone SE 4 might not be announced at the same Apple event as the iPhone 16. While the iPhone 16 is likely to be announced at an Apple event in September, the suspected sales period for the iPhone SE 4 is not explicitly mentioned in the provided search results.

The iPhone SE phones have traditionally been released in March, but with the iPhone SE 4, Apple might deviate from this pattern. According to current speculations, the iPhone SE 4 might be unveiled before the Lunar New Year in January or in March.

The current gap of three years between the last two iPhone SE models makes sense within this pattern, considering the four-year gap between the first two models of the iPhone SE and a two-year gap between the next two.

In conclusion, the iPhone SE 4 promises to be an exciting addition to the iPhone series, with its larger screen, new design, and potential cost-effective pricing. As more information becomes available, we'll keep you updated on the latest developments.
