If you want to mention a unique model in the history of the iPhone, you must have a nomination for the iPhone SE.

Although positioned only at the mid-range of Apple, it always touches the hearts of a group of "small screen flagship" enthusiasts, and every time a new model is introduced, everyone is eagerly discussing it.

However, the fate of the next generation iPhone SE4 will become very bumpy.

On the Apple Developer 'conference this month, the whole line of Apple PCs began to be completely transferred to the self-developed M-series chips, which also means that Apple completely abandoned Intel.

And Apple's next goal is to completely eliminate its dependence on Qualcomm. After all, the patent fees paid to Qualcomm every year are also quite high

So this heavy responsibility falls first on the iPhone SE4.

Earlier, Guo Minghui revealed that it is expected that in 2024, Apple will launch its own 5G data chip, which adopts a 4-nanometer process and supports Sub-6GHz. The iPhone SE4 will be the first to be equipped with water testing.

However, based on the latest news so far, it is unlikely that Apple will release the fourth generation iPhone SE in 2024, as the internal 5G modem is not yet ready.

So, whether Apple's own 5G chip can be used for the iPhone 16 as planned next year is also a question mark.

After all, the all-new iPhone SE4 will undergo a major redesign to boost sales. Even if it is released later, it will still be "truly fragrant" in the end

Firstly, the biggest highlight of the iPhone SE4 is its appearance, and various explosive displays need to use a full screen. Is it because the stock of non full screens that have been passed down from ancestors has finally been cleared?

Specifically, the new aircraft will adopt a 6.1 inch OLED screen, which looks more like a minor facelift of the 6.1 inch iPhone 14. Compared to the 4.7 inch LCD screen equipped with a bezel that can stop aircraft carriers in the previous iPhone SE, it is an epic improvement, at least not like an "old antique".

By the way, BOE Technology is responsible for the OLED screen supplier of the new model, which is estimated to reduce the cost of screens for entry-level models.

In any case, this new model will become the first large screen iPhone SE model in history, and before the launch of the iPhone SE4, Apple will completely change the iPhone to use Smart Island and right angle frame.

But even if the iPhone SE4 cancels the Home button, there is currently no news that it will cancel fingerprint unlocking. It may simply remove the TrueDepth component and keep a front lens, which will look similar to the MacBook Pro bangs design.

So the new device should use side TouchID fingerprint recognition, after all, the newly released iPad 10 is already equipped with side fingerprints, and the iPhone SE4 is also following up, which is not impossible.

In addition, from the exposed rendered images, the color scheme of the new device should be consistent with the iPhone SE3, continuing to use three colors: black, white, and red.

Next comes the previously noisy interface issue. Currently, the European Union has announced the unified charging specification for electronic products, USBType-C, which will take effect at the end of 2024. If the iPhone SE4 can catch up with the previous release, the original Lightning charging hole design will be maintained until the iPhone SE5 is equipped with a Type-C charging hole.

If it is released after the law takes effect, the iPhone SE4 will have to bow down and adopt Type-C, and now it's the R&D department's turn to race against time.

So what is the specific performance of iPhone SE4? This is very interesting. Starting from the iPhone 14 series, Apple has always adopted a dual processor strategy, so the new iPhone SE usually uses the previous generation processor and will not be equipped with the latest biomimetic chip of the year.

At present, the latest iPhone SE 3 is equipped with the same A15 chip as the iPhone 13 model, so it is highly likely that the basic iPhone 15 and iPhone 14Pro series will use the same 5-nanometer process A16 biomimetic chip when releasing the iPhone SE 4.

Through Cook's precise knife technique, this time it ensures that the new device can provide high performance and power consumption, while also significantly reducing chip costs and prices. More importantly, it will not affect the sales of the upcoming iPhone 15 series.

Moreover, the iPhone SE4 will also support 6GB of storage space, which is not a waste of time.

As for photography, the iPhone SE4 will be equipped with a 12 megapixel single rear lens combination and a front camera with a 12 megapixel original depth lens design, which can be considered a decent performance.

In other aspects, standard technologies such as dual speakers, linear motors, and IP68 waterproof and dustproof should all be available, so the comprehensive hardware configuration of the iPhone SE4 is already quite impressive.

Do you feel that the iPhone SE4 upgrade has been particularly significant this time? But the price is not as beautiful anymore.

Because Guo Mingyi mentioned that adopting a full screen will lead to an increase in costs, which in turn will lead to an increase in selling prices.

Last year, the iPad 10 finally adopted a full screen design, with a direct increase in price from the previous generation of 2499 yuan to 3599 yuan, an increase of 1100 yuan

Therefore, if the appearance of the iPhone SE4 is significantly improved, it is inevitable that the price will increase, and it is speculated that the final price may exceed 4000

Anyway, at least the new iPhone SE4 is no longer a stereotypical impression of a "clean inventory appearance and squeezed toothpaste configuration".

As for whether it can be released next year, the most crucial thing is whether Apple can smoothly develop its own 5G baseband. Currently, progress seems to be not very smooth.

A professional has explained that compared to 4G, 5G baseband is more difficult to make and hardware design is easy to handle. However, it is very troublesome to jointly conduct signal testing with different global operators.

Especially the massive number of communication patents is also an obstacle that Apple cannot overcome, so there are very few manufacturers in the world who can achieve self-developed basebands.

Netizens also gave many opinions on this new machine, and some roast that self-developed baseband might not save Apple's crotch pulling signal.

Some people think it would be impolite to raise the price again, after all, the iPhone 13 mini can now be sold for less than 4000.

Overall, although the iPhone SE4 has shrunk elsewhere, its new appearance and processor are here, priced much lower than the annual Apple Digital Flagship series, and its competitiveness still exists.

So whether Apple can dominate the mid-range mobile phone market with this significant upgrade of the iPhone SE4 remains to be seen.
