Ever since Apple launched the iPhone SE, it has been a favourite for those looking for a budget smartphone by the Cupertino-based tech giant. While the tech giant is currently busy working on its upcoming flagship of 2o23, the iPhone 15 series, recent reports reveal Apple’s big plans for the iPhone SE 4.

Recent reports reveal that Apple has already restarted development work on the iPhone SE 4, which will feature a 6.1-inch OLED display and an in-house 5G baseband chip.

The speculations further reveal that the iPhone SE 4 will be a minor modification of the 6.1-inch iPhone 14.

“My latest survey indicates that Apple has recently restarted the iPhone SE 4, which will feature an OLED display instead of an LCD, as the biggest change. Overall, the SE 4 is a minor modification of the 6.1-inch iPhone 14,”tweeted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo on Monday.

Kuo also said that the new iPhone SE 4 will be equipped with “Apple’s 5G baseband chip produced by a 4nm process (similar to 5nm) and will only support Sub-6GHz as the current plan”.

He further mentioned that the mass production of the iPhone SE 4 will go “smoothly” in the first half of next year, and the iPad and Apple Watch will also soon “abandon” Qualcomm’s baseband chips.

“This move will benefit Apple’s hardware gross margin, while Qualcomm’s Apple business will decline significantly in the next 2-3 years,” he added.Last month, Kuo claimed that the iPhone maker had informed suppliers that it has cancelled plans to release an iPhone SE smartphone in 2024.

Meanwhile, the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro will come packed with 8GB of RAM. For comparison, the iPhone 14 Pro models come with 6GB of RAM.

However, the base models of the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus will likely come with 6GB of RAM. Reports further reveal that the Pro models in the iPhone 15 series will come packed with A17 Bionic processor.
