A new report surfaced regarding the upcoming budget iPhones. As a reminder, we’ve recently found out that the phone will launch early next year. And now, some spec info surfaced. The iPhone SE 4 will have the same cameras as the iPhone 15, and the Apple A18 SoC.
The iPhone SE 4 will come with Apple’s very own 5G modem & Apple A18 SoC
That’s not all, however. This report also mentions that Apple’s first 5G modem will finally be ready, and used in this smartphone. That was the original plan, but the iPhone SE 4 launch rumors were all over the place.
The phone itself will look similar to the iPhone 14 but include a single camera on the back. Flat sides will be used, and an OLED display will be placed on the front, complete with a notch. The display resolution will be 2532 x 1170, which is the same as the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 offers.
This also means that the iPhone SE 4 will be the first ‘SE’ model to offer Face ID and the very first model to not have a home key below the display. The past two models used the iPhone 8 design, which is quite dated at this point.
It’s a bit odd that this phone will revert back to a notch, considering that the Dynamic Island has completely taken over. It is what it is, though. Apple probably started working on the device quite some time ago, so… the notch is what we’ll get.
The main and selfie cameras will be identical to the ones on the iPhone 15
In addition to the Apple A18 SoC, this phone will offer 8GB of RAM, it seems. A 48-megapixel main camera will be combined with a 12-megapixel snapper on the front. The cameras will be completely identical to the ones the iPhone 15 offers.
In regards to Apple’s very own model. Some of you probably recall that Apple acquired Intel’s modem division back in 2019. The company wanted to create its own modems to stop being dependent on Qualcomm. Well, after some failures along the way, it seems like one is finally ready.
This new modem is said to “drastically reduce battery consumption”. It remains to be seen how accurate that info is.
