Apple is expected to launch its new iPhone SE 4 in the coming months, bringing significant improvements over the current model. The company’s gradual move towards announcing a budget iPhone has been evident, as the stock for the current iPhone SE 3 is running low in Apple Stores. According to industry analyst Mark Gurman, little to no inventory remains in Apple Stores, indicating that the new device is nearing its release.
The iPhone SE 4 will feature a sub-$500 price tag, making it the cheapest iPhone sold by Apple with built-in Apple Intelligence. The budget model is expected to be powered by an A18 or A17 Pro chip coupled with 8GB of RAM for AI features. This upgrade could make the device a top contender in its price range, offering impressive performance and support for the latest AI features.
The current iPhone SE 3’s older hardware has led Apple to potentially discontinue it, as the company aims to bring Apple Intelligence to all devices. The upcoming entry-level iPad is also expected to receive an A17 Pro chip upgrade, suggesting that Apple wants to make its AI technology accessible across various products.
