The iPhone SE 4, or the next generation iPhone SE, is claimed to sport the same form factor as the iPhone XR, according to YouTuber Jon Prosser. He did not share any timeline for the phone’s debut or reveal any other information about the handset. Apple launched the iPhone SE (2022) in March this year with an iPhone 8-like design, but the internals of the handset are similar to the iPhone 13 series. The news comes days before the ‘Far Out’ event on September 7.
Citing Prosser’s conversation A podcast9to5mac Report The next-gen iPhone SE will be “just an iPhone XR”. The YouTuber’s claims suggest that Apple will finally move on from its famous design with thick bezels and a home button (on the latest generation iPhone SE). The phone will have a modern design with less bezels, notch and Face ID. It will further complement the current generation of iPhone models.
The iPhone SE (222) was launched in March this year with a design similar to the iPhone 8, but with Apple’s A15 Bionic SoC under the hood, which also powers the iPhone 13 series. It features a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, IP67-certified build, a single 12-megapixel camera sensor with f/1.8 wide-angle lens, and a Touch ID button that includes a fingerprint sensor for biometric authentication.
In comparison, the iPhone XR, which was launched as the most affordable iPhone in India at the time, has a larger 6.1-inch LCD Retina display. It is powered by the Apple A12 Bionic chip, which is less powerful than the one in the iPhone SE (2022). Both phones pack a 12-megapixel camera sensor with f/1.8 aperture, but the iPhone XR gets a bigger battery.
Ultimately, it comes down to price. According to a report by Wave7 Research Institute, shared According to PCMag, demand for the iPhone SE (2022) was weak compared to the previous iPhone SE. This was attributed to the phone’s small form factor. The base variant of the iPhone SE (2022) was launched at a price of Rs. 43,900 in India. If Apple releases an iPhone XR-like handset with a larger display, powerful SoC and larger battery at the same price as the iPhone SE (2022), it might gain more traction than the 2022 model of the iPhone SE.
