Apple has been launching a budget iPhone model in the form of iPhone SE and so far, the technology giant has launched three iterations of the device. Now, for the upcoming phone, which will be the iPhone SE 4, the company has a few major changes for the device.

If the latest report is to be believed, then the upcoming Apple iPhone SE 4 smartphone, which is expected to go official in Spring 2023, will be a flagship killer smartphone, and will be a threat to many Android smartphones.

The Apple iPhone SE models launched so far have managed to sell well but the devices have never been a flagship killer or best value-for-money offering, but that is about to change with the upcoming model, reveals a new report.

The phone will likely come with an updated design, at least for the SE series lineup. Based on the reports, the device will adopt a design similar to the iPhone XR. In that case, there’s a possibility that the tech giant may finally offer Face ID on the SE lineup instead of relying on the Touch ID.

As for the specifications, the device is likely to keep the 6.1-inch 720p LCD display of iPhone XR for the upcoming iPhone SE 4, which will be really disappointing for a 2024 smartphone when most phones nowadays come with Full HD 1080p display and a high refresh rate. The phone could be rated IP67 and be powered by a 3,000mAh battery with support for 20W fast charging and 7.5W wireless charging.

Internally, the device is expected to powered by the latest Apple A16 Bionic processor, which is powering the newly launched Apple iPhone 14 Pro series but could end up using the A15 SoC found on the iPhone 14 lineup. In the camera department, there could be a single 12-megapixel sensor on the back and a 7-megapixel selfie shooter up front.

Although Apple iPhone SE 4 is reported to go official sometime next year, the timeline doesn’t make sense going by Apple’s track record. While earlier reports pointed to 2024 as the launch for new iPhone SE model, the underwhelming sales of the iPhone 14 series could end up being a reason for the early launch of Apple iPhone SE 4. For now, we’ll just have to wait a bit longer to get more information.
