The iPhone SE 4 is looking more and more likely to arrive early next year, and new leaked information seems to reveal all. Thanks to a spec sheet posted online, we can see exactly what Apple is packing into the next budget iPhone, along with a possible price and release date.
The leak comes from prominent tipster @Jukanlosreve, giving it a certain amount of credibility. Still, we will need to take it with a pinch of salt. And it goes hand in hand with many of the rumors we have already heard about this device.
According to leaks, the iPhone SE 4 design will take the familiar shape of the iPhone 12, with a notched 6.06-inch screen with a resolution of 2532 x 1170 and Face ID. The chipset will reportedly be the same A18 chip as the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, along with the 8GB of RAM needed to run Apple Intelligence. This is a big step up from the 4GB of RAM in the current iPhone SE (2022) and shows Apple's commitment to bringing Apple Intelligence to as many users as possible.
The spec sheet also lists 128GB of basic storage and a 3,279mAh battery, up from 2,018mAh in the current SE. Meanwhile, there will be a 48MP rear camera and a 12MP selfie camera. Apple also includes USB-C, Wi-Fi 6 support, and IP68-grade water and dust resistance.
While this spec sheet is intriguing enough, the leak also claims that the iPhone SE 4 will arrive in March 2025, with prices starting at $499 or $549. Either way, this would be a price increase from the current $429/429 pounds that Apple charges for the iPhone SE. But that's a far cry from the $999 paid for some of the best phones today. [Given the plethora of upgrades suggested by this spec sheet, including a new design, twice as much RAM, Face ID for the first time, and Apple Intelligence, it would not be surprising to see a price increase. But Cupertino will want to make sure it doesn't raise the price too much and risk alienating the huge number of SE fans who want to enter Apple's ecosystem without paying a big premium.
The leaked information does not clarify whether the iPhone SE 4 will be released as a single device or whether an iPhone SE 4 Plus will also be available.
Finally, given that the iPhone SE 3 was released in March 2022 and the one before that in April 2020, this March release date seems quite realistic. Meanwhile, we are tracking all the latest news in our iPhone SE 4 rumor hub.
