Apple is set to launch the iPhone SE 4 this week, marking another step forward in an attempt to cater to the needs of users searching for budget-friendly iPhone options. The last update that this phone received was back in 2022 when it was still the iPhone SE 3.
The standing guess would keep the price at about $500, the iPhone SE 4 turns into a budget-friendly option for those who cannot reach the recently launched iPhone 16, which starts at an impressive $800 price tag.
New Features: Bigger Screen and Advanced Chip
Among the features of the new iPhone SE 4 is a larger 6.1-inch display, much larger than the 4.7-inch screen featured on its predecessor. Such increased screen size will expand the opportunities for users to enjoy browsing the web, watching videos, and playing games. With the A18 chip-powered iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone SE 4 will run through one of the most advanced chips utilized by Apple, apart from the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max.

For all its elevated power, increased screen, and a notch for the camera, the iPhone SE 4 is likely to sport a modest single-camera rear layout which looks somewhat like the equivalent of the iPhone SE 3. The design should cater to its user base keen on sporting a contemporary appeal, yet staying toned down. The pre-launch images show the device in a sleek matte black, though extended color offerings are expected to be available at launch.
Target Audience and Overall Appeal of iPhone SE 4
Overall, the iPhone SE 4 is meant to draw in budget-conscious consumers looking for a reliable and efficient smartphone without the extreme budget strain that comes with every newly launched flagship model. With an equal share of features and money, the iPhone SE 4 seems set to catch the attention of a wider fan base.
