iPhone SE 4 Expected To Launch Today: What We Know So Far

Apple's most affordable iPhone is going to undergo its most significant redesign ever. The iPhone SE 4, set to be released today, signals the end of an era as Apple finally ditches its iconic home button design after 18 years. But this isn't just a design change; with a totally new CPU that enables AI functions and a vastly enhanced camera system, Apple's affordable iPhone is firmly coming into the modern era.

In addition, without giving out the exact date, last week, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that the iPhone SE 4 could launch this week, along with the PowerBeats Pro 2. He also highlighted that Apple might not be interested in hosting an event and will launch the iPhone SE 4 with just a press release, as it does for its iPads.

iPhone SE 4: Specifications (Expected)

Before we deep dive into the details, the previous narrative around the phone was that Apple might get away with "SE" altogether. Instead, it might rebrand it as the iPhone 16e. Now, the iPhone SE 4 or iPhone 16e, is set for a major makeover, moving away from its classic small design with thick bezels and a Touch ID home button. This time, it’s expected to look more like the iPhone 14, swapping Touch ID for Face ID.

Another exciting upgrade is the display. Instead of using LCD screens, it is expected to feature a 6.1-inch OLED display with a Super Retina XDR resolution of 2,532 x 1,170 pixels and 460 PPI pixel density. In addition, while the phone will continue to have a single camera both front and back, the sensor has reportedly been bumped up. Furthermore, under the hood, the phone is expected to have a 3,279 mAh battery.

Price in India

When it comes to pricing, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to be priced around $499 (about Rs 44,000). That’s a jump from the $429 launch price of the SE 3. The predecessor launched at Rs 43,900 in India and was later raised to Rs 49,900 due to higher taxes. Let’s see how Apple prices the new phone.

Hence, according to all the information, the SE 4 is going to be the cheapest iPhone that will feature Apple Intelligence, so it will be most attractive for users who desire the latest features without paying the premium price for flagship models.
