Earlier this year we reported that Apple had reportedly canceled the iPhone SE 4, citing chip issues that prompted the company to cancel production altogether.
We now have a new rumor coming from the same source saying that the iPhone SE 4 is being restarted, with the most notable news being that it will now be a rehash of Apple’s standard iPhone 14.
According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the same reporter who shared the alleged cancelation of the SE, Apple has revived the iPhone SE 4 and will adopt an in-house 5G baseband chip.
Kuo also says that the iPhone SE 4 will feature an OLED display, instead of the old SE’s LCD, and will be a “minor modification” of the 6.1-inch iPhone 14.
You can read Kuo’s complete rundown of the rumors below:
If this rumor turns out to be true, we think it would be a great move for Apple’s iPhone lineup. The most recent iPhone SE, with all its positives, has adopted the same iPhone 8 design since 2020 and we think it deserves a much-needed refresh in terms of design.
The move will also firmly make the iPhone SE 4 a much more appealing budget option if you’re looking for an iPhone, as it would hopefully bring the bigger battery and much more modern display that the iPhone 14 has.
What do you think of this move? Let us know in the comments below.
sounds great! 👍🏽
