The most affordable series of Apple smartphones is the iPhone SE. But for those who were waiting for the new iPhone SE 4 model, there is some disappointing news. Because the new model is expected to cost more than the iPhone SE 3. This time the price of this model may increase by 17 percent.
The iPhone SE 4 model could be unveiled in March 2025. However, before this information about its specification and price has been leaked from various sites.
YoX 1122, a well-known tipster who leaked the information in advance, said that the price of this phone could be below $500 in the US. This means, the price of the current iPhone SE 3 will be around 16 to 17 percent higher. Earlier this information was reported from various technology news sites.
According to tech website TechRadar's iPhone SE (2022) review, the 3rd generation model of this phone started at $429. So it is not unreasonable that the price of iPhone SE-4 will increase slightly after 3 years in the market. The new iPhone SE 4 will probably start with 128 GB of storage. The 128GB storage model of the iPhone SE (2022) was priced at $479. If you think like this, the price of the new iPhone SE 4 will not increase much.
This new iPhone SE will have Face ID for the first time and replace the home button. The new model will follow the design of the 2022 iPhone 14.
Another new information is that Apple's own chip may be used in this phone. It will have WiFi and 5G. If this change is true, Apple's cost of producing the phone could go down a bit. But whether those savings will trickle down to consumers, time will tell.
However, the price of iPhone SE 4 may vary from country to country. For example: In South Korea, it may cost more than 8 lakh won, which is much higher than the current model (650 thousand). So, the price may be slightly lower or higher depending on your location and it depends on the country's financial situation.
But after that it will be marketed as a budget friendly iPhone compared to other iPhone models. But Apple will try to keep the price right.
