More Details on the iPhone SE 4 Set to Launch in 2025 Revealed: Featuring a 6.1-inch OLED Display
The iPhone SE series, Apple's offering aimed at the mid to low-end market, is set to get a new addition. The last model, the iPhone SE 3, was released in March 2022, and the iPhone SE 4 is expected to make its debut in the spring of 2025.
The iPhone SE 4 is gradually closing the gap with the standard iPhone models in terms of appearance and hardware specifications. For instance, it will feature a 6.1-inch display, moving away from the smaller 4.7-inch screens of its predecessors, acknowledging the growing preference for larger screens.
Furthermore, the iPhone SE 4 will finally abandon the fingerprint recognition (Touch ID) in favor of facial recognition (Face ID), and, as expected, the charging port will be updated to USB-C.
With a slight increase in hardware specifications, the price of the iPhone SE 4 is also expected to rise. The starting price for the iPhone SE 2 was 399, and the iPhone SE 3 was 429. It's anticipated that the starting price for the iPhone SE 4 could be $499.
Therefore, for users with limited budget or as a backup phone, it is also a good choice to take a look at the iPhone 16 series this fall and then wait for the iPhone SE 4 next spring.

- Display: A 6.1-inch OLED display (previous models featured IPS displays)
