2023 iPhone SE Leaks #iphonese4
The next iPhone SE 4 may be announced as soon as next year and take
cues from the iPhone XR design and specs, save for the processing power
upgrades, of course, tipped Jon Prosser while on the Geared Up podcast with
Andru Edwards & Jon Rettinger. As a reminder, the iPhone XR was an
affordable, yet still very capable alternative to the flagship iPhone XS at the
time with a larger screen. It had the same iPhone X-inspired design with a
notch, along with gesture navigation and Face ID, and the same A12 Bionic
system chip. The 6.1-inch screen, however, was an LCD one instead of the
OLED panel that made a cameo on the more expensive models in the X-
series.
In other words, it was an odd bird, and so will the iPhone SE 2023 if it
materializes looking in a similar way. The iPhone XR, however, has a notch,
and this will mark the first time Apple would stray away from the physical
home button design for the budget SE series.
If the iPhone SE 4 ships in 2023 indeed, this could mean that it will have a
powerful A16 processor on board, but those under the hood upgrades may be
unlikely to sway those that are feeling nostalgic about Apple's home button
design and were buying the SE precisely on those grounds rather than the low
$429 price.
On the other hand, they will be gaining a 6.1-inch display, up from the current
4.7-inch panel of the iPhone SE 3 and, if Apple is feeling especially generous,
it might even spare some of the OLED panels of the same size languishing in
an inventory storage somewhere, instead of the LCD panel that the XR has.
Sadly, this means that there would be no camera set upgrade and the iPhone
SE 4 will have a single 12MP sensor to capture photos and record videos, but
those going for the cheapest phone in Apple's roster shouldnt expect the
bean counters from Cupertino to offer them a setup close to that of more
expensive iPhones.
In any case, this is all just a speculation, and coming from Jon Prosser we
could consider it a wild one; still, given the tepid sales of the current iPhone
SE 3 model, Apple may have decided that its most affordable, most nostalgic
phone design is in dire need of an upgrade, too.
