The iPhone SE 4 launch might be undecided due to several factors, but more details concerning its appearance and features indicate that Apple has not given up on its low-cost lineup. More information has been exhumed, talking about the similarities with the iPhone 14 design, including a USB-C port and more, so let us get started.
Upcoming iPhone SE 4 is codenamed ‘Ghost’ and will have a slightly altered chassis compared to the iPhone 14
Similarities with the iPhone 14 design mean that the iPhone SE 4 will likely sport a 6.1-inch OLED screen but without ProMotion support, as Apple would need to keep manufacturing costs down. According to MacRumors, an exact iPhone 14 chassis will not be re-used to launch the new version, but it will be slightly altered to accommodate the new internal changes. Perhaps the two biggest alterations arriving to this model are a USB-C port and the Action button that debuted on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
People familiar with the matter have said that Apple is internally referring to the USB-C port as the E85 connector, and we believe that when soldered to the iPhone SE 4, it will grant the device capabilities that exist in current-generation models, such as being able to hook the handset to a 4K HDR monitor or connect to a wired network using a USB-C to Ethernet dongle. However, we do not believe that the iPhone SE 4’s USB-C port will support any Thunderbolt version.
A drawback to launching more affordable models is that Apple will also make compromises in areas that will not be appreciated by potential buyers, such as the camera. The report states that the iPhone SE 4 will only ship with a single rear shooter at the back and an LED flash, but the exact camera bump size has not been decided. Apple is apparently testing five different designs for the camera bump, with all five touting minor differences between them.
On the front side, Apple is not expected to adopt a Dynamic Island, retaining the notch on the iPhone SE 4 but giving it Face ID while removing the physical Home button and the chunky bezels. Previous reports mentioned that Apple would bring its in-house 5G modem to the affordable model, but the technology giant is experiencing setback after setback, so it will take a few years before a viable solution is ready for mass production. As you would have guessed, concrete information on the iPhone SE 4’s expected launch is unavailable, but at least these details show that Apple is busy making a successor for its affordable lineup.
