Apple is reportedly working on the next-generation iPhone SE model, which is expected to launch in spring next year. According to a report by 9To5Mac, specification details of the more affordable iPhone model has surfaced online, suggesting that the fourth-generation iPhone SE could bring major upgrades in all spheres.
iPhone SE 4: Expected specifications
According to the report, the next-generation iPhone SE model would be powered by the A18 chip, which will debut with the iPhone 16 series. This suggests that the iPhone SE 4 could get support for artificial intelligence tools and features coming to iPhones with iOS 18. As per the report, it would either get 6GB RAM or 8GB RAM.
The anticipated iPhone SE is expected to sport a 6.06-inch OLED display panel of 60Hz refresh rate. Additionally, the next iPhone SE model could drop the circular Touch ID sensor and get a FaceID sensor, similar to the current generation iPhone model. The smartphone would also likely get the USB Type-C port instead of the Lightning connector.
As for the camera, the iPhone SE is expected to get a single camera set up at the back, similar to the previous generation model but the sensor would likely be a 48-megapixel lens instead of the 12-megapixel on the predecessor.
iPhone SE 4: Expected design
According to media reports the next-generation iPhone SE could get a more modern look with a flat aluminium frame, similar to the iPhone 15. However, it is expected to get a glossy back panel unlike the current generation iPhone model. The iPhone SE could also get the Action Button instead of the Mute Switch similar to the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max model, as Apple is reportedly planning to replace the mute switch with the Action Button on all iPhone models with the iPhone 16 series.
