This information is consistent with previous leaks, including one from reliable source Mark Gurman, who hinted that the release would be between March and June.

Leaks indicate that the iPhone SE 4 will have a larger 6.1-inch screen compared to the 4.7-inch display of the iPhone SE (2022).

However, there’s some uncertainty about whether it will feature a notch or Apple’s newer Dynamic Island design. 

The new model is also expected to have a single-lens camera, which could be upgraded to a 48MP sensor, and feature a 12MP front camera.

It might support Apple Intelligence and draw power from an A18 chip paired with 8GB of RAM. This would offer a significant performance boost over the previous SE version.

Moreover, the battery capacity will also be reportedly more than the previous model, upgrading from a 2,018mAh cell to a 3,279mAh battery.

Apple will likely also switch to USB-C charging for the latest iPhone SE, complying with the EU regulations. 

Apple aims to keep the iPhone SE’s price under $500, so the latest model will likely start within that price range.
