iPhone SE 4 price, release date, specs, design, latest leaks: Everything we know so far

Apple's iPhone SE series has long been popular with budget-conscious users, offering a more affordable entry into the iPhone ecosystem. The last addition, the iPhone SE 3, was released two years ago, and now speculation is mounting about the next-generation iPhone SE 4. As leaks and reports emerge, here's a breakdown of what we know so far.

iPhone SE 4 release date Rumors

Unlike the flagship iPhones, the SE lineup doesn't follow a regular annual release cycle, making it difficult to predict the iPhone SE 4 launch date. There were two to four years between the last three SE models. Recent reports, including one from Korean outlet The ELEC, suggest that iPhone SE 4 production has been pushed back to 2025. Insiders like Mark Gurman and tipster Ice Universe have further supported this timeline, hinting that we could see a release between March and May of this year.

iPhone SE 4 design Leaks

According to rumors, the iPhone SE 4 could have a design inspired by the iPhone 14 or possibly even the latest model iPhone 16. Tipsters like Jon Prosser have claimed that the SE 4 could adopt the iPhone XR's notched 6.1-inch display, which would be the first time the SE range has featured a notch. Some reports, including those from display analyst Ross Young, even hint at the possibility that the SE 4 could feature an OLED display, a significant improvement over the LCD screens of its predecessors.

iPhone SE 4 specifications (Expected)

The camera has always been a weak point of the iPhone SE series. However, the iPhone SE 4 could change that narrative. Rumors are circulating that the device could feature a 48-megapixel rear camera, bringing it in line with the camera system on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16. If true, this would position the SE 4 as a strong contender in the mid-range market, potentially challenging rivals like Google's Pixel 8a.

The SE 4 will reportedly feature a 3,279mAh battery, a significant improvement over the current model's 2,018mAh capacity.

iPhone SE 4 Price in India (Expected)

The iPhone SE is known for its affordable price, but given the expected hardware and design upgrades, a price increase seems inevitable. Recent leaks suggest a starting price of around Rs 49,900, compared to the iPhone SE 3's launch price of Rs 43,900. However, promotions and exchange offers could soften the blow for consumers.
