In terms of upgrades, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman revealed that the iPhone SE 4 is expected to be a replica of the iPhone 14 in terms of design with a larger display. Moreover, Apple could remove the home button that was present in the previous generation models. Apart from a significant design improvement, the iPhone SE 4 is also expected to get a performance boost with a new chipset (presumably A17 chip) and the Apple Intelligence feature that will be integrated into the iPhone 16 series next month. The smartphone could also support 8GB of RAM, as opposed to the iPhone 15’s 6GB RAM.

Therefore, all flagship-like features for under $500 could be a great deal for people looking for a budget iPhone. This also allows users to enjoy an iOS experience without spending a lot of money to buy a flagship smartphone.

However, keep in mind that the above pricing and upgrades are based on rumors and speculation and offer no certainty until Apple makes an official announcement. Currently, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to launch in March 2025.
