This is when Apple could launch the iPhone SE 4
Apple is reportedly working on the iPhone SE 4, which is expected to launch in early 2025 as the fourth-generation ‘SE’ smartphone. While the company has yet to announce plans to unveil a new device, a publication claims that one of Apple’s suppliers is about to begin mass production of the camera components for the supposed successor to the iPhone SE (2022). The company is expected to launch a new iPhone SE model with an A18 chip, an OLED display, a 48-megapixel rear camera and Apple Intelligence.
iPhone SE 4 launch timeline (expected)
An AJU news report (in Korean) states that electronic components manufacturer LG Innotek will begin mass production of camera parts used for the iPhone SE 4 in the coming weeks. Production of these components will reportedly take place in December, which is just a few weeks away.
The publication also states that the supplier makes the camera modules available to Apple “3 months before the launch of new smartphones”. This suggests that the iPhone SE 4 could be unveiled by Apple as early as March 2025. Readers may recall that the third-generation iPhone SE launched on March 9, 2022.
Recently leaked information about the iPhone SE 4 indicates that Apple’s next smartphone will have a 6.06-inch (1,170 x 2,532 pixels) LTPS OLED display with a peak brightness of 800 nits, and a notch for the TrueDepth camera and Face ID sensors. The device is expected to run on Apple’s new A18 chip with 8GB of RAM.
The device is expected to support Apple Intelligence, and possibly Apple’s as well. It could come with the same 48-megapixel camera found on the iPhone 15. The iPhone SE 4 is also said to have a 3,279mAh battery with 20W USB-PD charging and 15W MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging.
