The iPhone SE 4 was expected to release after the successful launch of the iPhone SE 2022 model but it will not be available until next year. Analysts report that the in-house 5G modem rumoured to feature in the model will not be ready in time for the Cupertino-based tech giant to launch the purported iPhone SE 4. Instead, the fourth SE Apple handset can be expected to launch in 2025, with bigger displays and aforementioned in-house 5G modems, as tipped previously. Until then the iPhone models are expected to carry Qualcomm modems.

Apparently the iPhone SE 4 will not launch in 2024 because, in a research note shared with the publication, analysts suggested that the in-house 5G modems the model had previously been tipped to launch with, will not be ready by next year. According to Apple analyst Jeff Pu, the Apple 5G modems will start production by 2025. Another analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo agreed with Pu’s speculations. It might launch with a larger OLED display than its preceding models. He added that the display change will be the “biggest change” in Apple’s plans for the handset.

iPhone SE 2022 comes with a 4.7-inch Retina HD display with a resolution of 750×1,334 pixels. It is powered by the A15 Bionic chipset and claims to deliver an ‘all-day battery life.’ The model is equipped with a single 12-megapixel rear camera sensor and a 7-megapixel front camera sensor.
