apple has been developing a new generation of iphone se, and a recent report from bloomberg revealed that the product will be launched sometime next year. a reliable source from 9to5mac tells us more about the iphone se 4.

while the current-generation iphone se looks like the iphone 8, the new model will have a more modern appearance, similar to the iphone 14. this includes flat sides and an oled panel with a notch on top. sources confirmed that the iphone se 4, codenamed v59, will use the same 1170 x 2532 display resolution as the 6.1-inch iphone 14.

apple will also introduce face id to the iphone se 4, thus ending the home button with touch id on the iphone. however, "smart island" will still be exclusive to high-end models.

previous reports said that apple hopes to make the new se compatible with apple intelligence, and sources said that this will benefit from the a18 chip equipped with 8gb of ram. apple will use the same latest soc variant as the base iphone 16, equipped with a 5-core gpu.

in terms of cameras, iphone se 4 will be equipped with the same 48-megapixel wide-angle camera and 12-megapixel front camera as the iphone 15 and 15 plus. however, we hear that the new se won't come with an ultra-wide-angle or telephoto lens. apple is likely to take advantage of the 48-megapixel sensor, saying that the new se can take photos with 2x "optical" zoom.

another highlight of iphone se 4 will be apple’s first 5g modem developed in-house. the company acquired intel's modem unit in 2019 in an attempt to replace qualcomm's modems, but multiple reports show that prototype modems developed by apple have repeatedly experienced difficulties.

however, apple seems confident that it will eventually get its first 5g modem into the hands of many people. 9to5mac's sources say the v59 comes with an apple-designed wireless modem. codenamed "centauri," the ambitious modem can also handle wi-fi, bluetooth and gps signals.

while apple would benefit financially from having its own modem, the company will also use it to improve the integration between hardware and software. the new modem will significantly reduce battery consumption, especially when users turn on low-power settings on their iphones. consumption mode time.

although apple's plan is to put its own modem in all devices in the future, as a trial, the company chose to put it in the iphone se 4 first.

similar to what other sources have said, we hear that the iphone se 4 will be released in spring 2025. while the current iphone se starts at $429, analysts believe the next generation will be more expensive, possibly priced between $459 and $499.
