Apple rumors have been a real rollercoaster lately. The iPhone 15 Pro drama surrounding solid-state buttons is currently in, and now we have some iPhone SE 4 info to share. The iPhone SE 4 won’t arrive before 2025, if the latest rumor is to be believed.
The iPhone SE 4 may not launch before 2025
This information comes from a well-known analyst, Jeff Pu (via MacRumors). The analyst says that the iPhone SE 4 will launch “with a custom-designed 5G modem in 2025”.
Why is this odd? Well, for one, the phone was previously rumored to launch next year, in 2024. The source of that info was probably the best-known Apple tipster, Ming-Chi Kuo. The same source said that Apple canceled the iPhone SE 4, which was back in December. Since then, the company obviously changed its mind.
In any case, if Jeff Pu is to be believed, the iPhone SE 4 won’t arrive as soon as we thought. A 2025 launch is what he thinks we’ll see. It remains to be seen if Ming-Chi Kuo will have a response to this.
In any case, the phone is also expected to get a custom-designed 5G modem, as Apple will sort of test it via that phone. The company is probably looking to move further away from Qualcomm.
It will be the first ‘SE’ device to feature a different design
The iPhone SE 4 will be a rather interesting launch, as it will be the first ‘SE’ device from the company to feature a different design. The first three models offered the iPhone 8 design, so it’s time for Apple to change things up.
The iPhone SE 4 is expected to look more like the iPhone 14, than the iPhone 8. It may not be the same chassis, Apple may use chassis from one of the previous iPhones, as they’re all very similar. It remains to be seen.
That means it will be considerably larger than the previous iPhone SE models. It likely won’t have a horrible battery life, though, and will finally adopt an OLED display.
