Ready to Launch, Here Are the Specifications and Price Predictions for iPhone SE 4

Kapanlagi.com - Apple once again captures public attention with the planned launch of the iPhone SE 4, touted as an "affordable" variant but with specifications that rival their flagship models. This device is rumored to feature a much fresher modern design compared to its predecessor, marking a significant step in the evolution of the iPhone SE line.

According to circulating leaks, the iPhone SE 4 will sport a 6.1-inch OLED display, replacing the LCD display found on the iPhone SE 3. Not only that, Apple is also said to be incorporating Face ID technology and replacing the Lightning port with USB-C, following the trend that has been applied to the latest iPhone series. More interestingly, this phone will be powered by the same A18 Bionic chip as the iPhone 16, promising very impressive performance.

However, with all these major changes, there are reports that the price of the iPhone SE 4 will also see an increase. If the iPhone SE 3 was sold starting at $429 (around IDR 7.9 million), the iPhone SE 4 is expected to be priced starting at $500, or around IDR 8.2 million. Check out more information regarding the specifications and price of the iPhone SE 4 that is currently trending online, summarized by Kapanlagi.com, Wednesday (19/2).

1. New Design and Face ID Features

The stunning design of the iPhone SE 4, inspired by the iPhone 14, becomes a major attraction for technology enthusiasts. Apple seems unwilling to leave behind the compact footprint that characterizes the SE series, while introducing advanced features like Face ID that promise better security and easier access.

Although the main focus is on the design and camera, information regarding other technical specifications still leaves a sense of curiosity. Some reports suggest that the iPhone SE 4 will be powered by the A18 Bionic processor, while details such as battery capacity and screen size remain a mystery.

Sources from Bloomberg reveal that this device may retain similar specifications to the iPhone SE 3, including a 4.7-inch display and a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, as well as being equipped with interesting features like water and dust resistance (IP67), True Tone, Night Shift, and support for iOS 17. Fans will have to be patient while waiting for the official launch, which is sure to be impressive.

2. Performance: A18 Chip and 8GB RAM for Optimal Performance

The iPhone SE 4 is predicted to become a new star in the smartphone world with the support of the A18 Bionic chip, which will also grace the iPhone 16 Series. This advanced chip promises a significant performance boost, from power efficiency to processing speed, as well as enhanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.

Not only that, the iPhone SE 4 will also be equipped with 8GB of RAM, double the size of its predecessor, the iPhone SE 3, which only had 4GB. The combination of the A18 chip and abundant RAM makes the iPhone SE 4 ready to handle various multitasking tasks, gaming, and processing photos and videos very smoothly.

Interestingly, Apple also plans to eliminate the 64GB variant, so users will be directly offered storage options starting from 128GB, a smart move to meet the storage needs of users who increasingly rely on high-quality applications, photos, and videos.

3. iPhone SE 4 Camera: 48MP Sensor for Sharper Results

Apple is preparing to bring a revolution to the iPhone SE 4 camera, with exciting news that this device will be equipped with a 48MP main sensor, comparable to the iPhone 15 and 16.

Although it only has one rear camera without an ultra-wide lens, this resolution upgrade promises sharper and more detailed photos, far better than its predecessor, which only had a 12MP camera.

Not only that, the front camera will also receive an upgrade from 7MP to 12MP, allowing users to capture more stunning selfies, especially in low-light conditions, as well as improving video call quality on FaceTime.

4. USB-C and Apple’s 5G Modem: Faster Connectivity

One of the most exciting innovations of the iPhone SE 4 is the switch to a USB-C port, replacing the Lightning port that has been a hallmark of previous SE series. This move aligns with Apple’s strategy to start integrating USB-C across its latest iPhone lineup, including the iPhone 15 Series.

Furthermore, the iPhone SE 4 is also rumored to be the first to use Apple’s own 5G modem, replacing the 5G modem from Qualcomm. With this internal modem, Apple is expected to improve power efficiency and network connection quality, while also reducing dependence on third parties and strengthening control over the technology presented in its devices.

5. iPhone SE 4 Price Estimate: When is the Release?

The iPhone SE 4 is set to shake up the market with a starting price of around $500 or equivalent to Rp8 million, slightly higher than its predecessor, the iPhone SE 3, which was launched at a price of $429 or around Rp7.9 million in 2022.

However, reports from Japanese mobile operators indicate that prices in some regions could soar up to Rp10 million, depending on tax regulations and Apple's pricing strategy in each country. This increase is reasonable considering the enhanced specifications offered, such as an OLED display, A18 chip, Face ID, and more advanced 5G connectivity.

Fans are eagerly awaiting its launch, which is expected to be introduced on February 19, 2025. Apple CEO Tim Cook has hinted at this historic moment with a teaser video showcasing the Apple logo and the hashtag #AppleLaunch.
