It wont be an exaggeration to say that the iPhone SE 4 is the most anticipated iPhone of 2025.
And why not! considering the slew of hardware and software features it is offering.
Affordability & Availability
The smartphone is expected to be offered at a much more affordable price tag, in the range from ₹50,000 to ₹60,000 in India.
It is expected to be launched during spring next year.
Interestingly, a new report has appeared just ahead of its launch which helps us in understanding what to expect from the iPhone SE 4’s camera system.
This iPhone SE 4 will feature a 48MP primary camera alongside a 12MP selfie camera, as per a media report.
Smartphone With A Single 48MP Camera
Despite it having a single camera setup, it may not hold the iPhone SE 4 back when it comes to focal length coverage.
It appears that the iPhone SE 4 buyers may not lose out on much compared to the iPhone 16, reportedly.
The iPhone SE 4 will have a camera module made by LG Innotek, in addition to Foxconn and Cowell, and the camera sensor is expected to be the same as the iPhone 16’s 48MP camera, media reported.
This sounds good as now user can expect the same image quality as you would with the iPhone 16,
This could turn out to be true then users don’t necessarily have to worry about the lack of a telephoto lens.
In the case of iPhone 16, it features Fusion Camera technology, which enables users to get optical-quality shots at around 2x zoom range.
Here despite having a single camera setup, the users will have more coverage and access to more focal lengths without sacrificing image quality.
This is already witnessed in iPhone 16 Pro and the standard iPhone 16 as well.
This can be seen while zooming into 2x via the portrait or standard photo mode.
As it’s quality isn’t too far off from what you would get with an actual optical telephoto camera.
This could be good news for people interested in buying the iPhone SE 4.
Please note here that this is applicable only if Apple brings the Fusion Camera tech with the iPhone SE 4 (which could be likely if the camera hardware ends up being the same as iPhone 16).
iPhone SE 4 is expected to have a 48MP primary camera and a 12MP selfie camera.
Again, this is mirroring the setup found on the iPhone 16, sans the ultra-wide lens.
Besides this, Apple iPhone SE 4 will likely feature the Apple A18 chipset, which will allow for Apple Intelligence AI features, as per the report.
Cheapest iPhone
With this implementation, iPhone SE 4 will become the cheapest iPhone with which you can experience Apple’s artificial intelligence features.
In addition to this the smartphone is expected to offer 8GB of RAM, an OLED display, and a design reminiscent of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15, similar to the iPhone 16 but without the Dynamic Island and with a single camera setup on the back.
But, its design is yet to be unfolded and we need to wait till Apple launches the device, expected around WWDC 2024 or H1 2025.
