We have a lot of information about the Apple iPhone SE 4, a smartphone that will retain the same approach as previous models and serve as entry-level iOS model, to offer a good experience and a high level of performance at a “contained” price, in quotes because in the end we must not forget that we are talking about an Apple product.

We know your suggestion will virtually identical to the iPhone 14 on the front as it will feature a Dynamic Island and retain the single camera configuration on the back. We’re also pretty clear about its specs and that it will finally ditch Touch ID for Face ID, Apple’s 3D facial recognition system.

What we were not so clear about was the selling price. Logically, it was most reasonable to think that the iPhone SE 4 It would still be a “cheap Apple smartphone”but we could not rule out an increase in the price of this new model motivated by an increase in production costs, which has already happened with the iPhone 14, to give a close example.

The new information ensures that the iPhone SE 4 will not only continue to be the budget smartphone we all know, but that it will come with a price. less than $500. To give you a reference, the iPhone SE 3 was launched at a price of $429 and in Spain it became 529 euros. The difference in price is the result of currency exchange and the application of 21% VAT.

This means that the iPhone SE 4 will be priced between $429 and $499. I think with the change in components and the jump in design that this smartphone will experience, it will most likely be closer to $499, but nothing is definitive yet. If it ends up costing $499, the price in Spain could be 599 euros including taxes.

The launch date of this new smartphone has not yet been confirmed and sources disagree. Some say it will hit the market before the end of 2024, and others say it will launch between the first and second quarters of 2025. Both are perfectly reliable and represent an important difference, because depending on the year of launch, the iPhone SE 4 will come with a more or less advanced SoC.

If it arrives this year, it will most likely use the same SoC as the iPhone 14, and if it hits the market next year, it should have the iPhone 15 SoC This is the logic Apple has used since the debut of the iPhone SE. use SoC a generation behind the current top of the range.
