Apple canceled the mini version model this year, indicating that small-screen mobile phones can no longer enter the mainstream camp. The reason for this result is that the market reaction is not positive, and there will naturally be no future if you buy less people. Although that is the case, the excess parts must be consumed, and the equipment that undertakes this task still falls on the SE series.
As the iPhone SE series with increasing volume, Apple will continue to insist on promoting new products, so how to upgrade the official website is very important. After all, relative cost-effectiveness is the first priority.
htmlOn September 8, Apple officially released the new generation of annual flagship model iPhone 14 series. However, now, just over a month has passed, and there is news online that the new generation of iPhone SE models will be launched soon. Below
, let’s take a look at what the new iPhone SE looks like.
first of all, and related news says that iPhone SE 4 will adopt a similar appearance to iPhone XR, that is, a combination design with a large black-edged notch screen + single back camera.
It should be noted that having bangs does not mean supporting Face ID. According to the digital blogger, iPhone SE 4 will use side Touch ID fingerprint recognition. In addition, the blogger also said that the iPhone SE 4 will take over the mini series, which may be to say that the iPhone SE 4 has a smaller body than the iPhone XR. If the guess is accurate, the small size + round body and feel of holding should be much better than the previous mini models.
Recently, source Ross Young confirmed the news again.
Ross Young said that Apple is expected to release the iPhone SE 4 in 2024, with an appearance design similar to the iPhone XR and equipped with a 6.1-inch LCD display.
When the Home key is removed, Apple will equip the new iPhone SE with side fingerprints, similar to the power key fingerprint used by iPad Air.
Considering that the component cost of Face ID is relatively expensive, and iPhone SE has always focused on cost-effectiveness.
Therefore, if Apple wants to continue to maintain the low-price and high-end features of the new iPhone SE, using Touch ID is obviously a more suitable choice.
However, if the final new iPhone SE is sure to use side fingerprints, then the notch screen does not seem to be necessary.
It is not clear how Apple will design the new iPhone SE, but the sir boldly speculates that Apple may reduce the bang area, similar to the bang changes of iPhone 13.
is secondly the processor, because the specific release time of iPhone SE 4 cannot be determined at present, so here is just a guess. If it is released next spring, it is likely to be equipped with the same full-blooded A15 chip as the standard version of the iPhone 14. And if it is launched in 2024, it may be the A16 chip. Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, this chip will probably appear on the standard version of iPhone 15 next year.
is also the price. The starting price of the third-generation iPhone SE SE is 3,499 yuan. Now, the price of the iPhone SE 4 with a full-screen design is expected to rise to a certain extent, but I believe the increase will not be too large.
So, an iPhone 2 with a full screen design and A15 processor is priced at only more than 3,000 yuan. This cost performance is very powerful.
and the recently launched iPad 10 also canceled the Home button. Although the previous generation is still on sale, the new version will no longer use the Home button. Then when the iPhone SE 4 is launched, Apple will completely bid farewell to the physical Home button.
At the same time, Apple is forced to give up using USB-C port in terms of the Lightning interface due to the requirements of EU . At present, the latest iPad 10 has begun to use USB-C port. Moreover, next year, the iPhone 15 series will have at least one replacement for USB-C interface, and then gradually replace and abandon Lightning.
machine sir comment: For users, this change, no longer has to worry about not having a suitable charging cable when they go out of battery. Apple may launch new products to make up for the lost profits for this part of the profits.
In addition, today's sir is worth mentioning that I personally think the credibility is quite high for this prediction. There was a previous revelation that the iPhone 16 series (that is, 2024) will fully use the Lingdong Island design. At that time, the probability of the iPhone SE series using the eliminated notch screen design is still very high. However, I am not optimistic about the performance of this model in the future market.
To be honest, when I saw this news, my inner thoughts were: "Isn't this just changing the iPhone XR to a processor and selling it?" After all, Apple has done a lot of things like this. The first generation of iPhone SE evolved based on the iPhone 5s. iPhone SE 2 and iPhone SE 3 are the core-changing versions of iPhone 8. Although it is indeed a bit tempting in terms of price, to be honest, in this era when full screens have been popular for many years, who else would spend three or four thousand yuan to buy an old-fashioned iPhone?
Although the industry speculation is based on the module changes of iPhone XR, Apple is still the same Apple. The iPhone SE series still does not use the "noble" Face ID function. Many news reports show that iPhone SE 4 will use the side Touch ID button, just like iPad Air 5 and iPad mini 6. I won’t discuss the practicality of side fingerprints here, some likes them and some hate them.
In addition, the sir will summarize the configuration. Based on the parameters of previous generations of iPhone SE, I boldly guessed as follows:
processor: the same A16 processor as iPhone 14Pro series and iPhone 15;
camera: the same 12-megapixel rear single camera (aperture f/1.8, up to 5 times digital zoom), supporting the same 14 series displacement optical anti-shake technology;
screen: 60Hz, 1792*828 Pixel, 326ppi, peak brightness 625nit, 6.1-inch LCD notch screen;
running memory: 6G;
charging interface: USB-C interface;
price: 3999 yuan / 4399 yuan / 5599 yuan (128G/256G/512G).
By the way, in terms of current market performance, although iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max is still strong, iPhone 14/14 Plus is obviously unsalable. Apple really needs to readjust its non-flagship product line to retain the mobile phone selection needs of mid-to-high-end market users. The iPhone SE product line is out of old iPhone 8 molds that are not in line with the times are no longer waiting for me. As for processor selection, considering that the iPhone 14/14 Plus has begun to adopt the strategy of using A15. If the iPhone SE 4 is released next year, it is not ruled out that the iPhone 14/14 Plus model will be equipped with the A14 chip and the iPhone 14/14 Plus model will be leaked out of the market space.
Finally, of course, more configuration messages for iPhone SE 4 still need to be verified by more leaks.
So, what do you think about the new generation of iPhone SE4? Welcome to leave a message in the comment section below for discussion.
