Understand the possible launch of the iPhone SE 4. The device promises to be a cheaper mid-range device.
Apple's annual launch event is approaching. Usually held in September, the brand's launch ceremony is highly anticipated by fans and users in general. The new iPhone 15 is one of the most anticipated models at the meeting, but it's not just that.
Rumors of a new low-cost iPhone are back, and they now point to a 4th-generation iPhone SE that looks identical to the iPhone 14, but with a USB-C port. A user named Unknownz21 took to his Twitter (or X) account to post details about the upcoming device. Read on to learn more about the launch.
Speculations about the device
The new iPhone SE, which Apple wasn't expected to announce until 2025, looks identical to the iPhone 14 on the outside, but it should offer improved hardware on the inside. The latest rumors suggest that the iPhone SE will also resemble the 15, will have the same action buttons on the side and will change the Lightning connector to USB-C.
The device should stand out as a more affordable option for those looking for a new iPhone. It could be one of Apple's first to feature a new 5G modem. It's worth remembering that the most recent iPhone SE, released last year, is third-generation. This version still has a home button on the front, thick bezels, and a single camera on the back.
Every now and then, Apple updates its mid-range phone lineup, but it takes full advantage of the more powerful chips that Apple has to offer. The 4th-generation iPhone SE will finally have to ditch the Lightning connector to comply with the new EU agreement and revamp the look of the iPhone 14. At least this points to other features of the device, such as Face ID replacing Touch ID, USB-C instead of a Lightning port. In addition, the device should have new action buttons similar to the old one, according to a new leak spotted by MacRumors.
Apple Watch Ultra and iPhone 15 later this year
If the rumors are correct, the new iPhone SE has everything to be an almost basic copy of the 15 in its simplest version, but one detail could differentiate the two. On the back, the traditional mustache-shaped notch and just one camera. The SE line of phones are always cheaper, and this should certainly continue. In addition to the smartphones, another expected launch is the Apple Watch Ultra.
Another rumor is that the iPhone SE is officially using OLED. If confirmed, alongside the newer device, users of previous generation devices will find a sea of evolution leading to new uses. For now, we just have to wait for the event in September, as there is still no official date for the launches of the iPhone 15 and SE 4. All that is known is that Apple always launches new devices in this month. This is already a routine for the company. However, if the rumors about the iPhone 15 delay are true, users may have to wait a little longer to check out the brand's new devices.
