The iPhone SE 4 is generating significant excitement ahead of its expected launch in 2025, with leaks suggesting it will offer a range of features similar to those of the flagship iPhone 16 series, but at a much lower price. According to various sources, including tech analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the SE 4 could be an attractive option for those looking for high-end capabilities without the premium price tag.

New Features at an Affordable Price
The iPhone SE 4 is expected to include Apple’s AI functionality, or “Apple Intelligence,” marking the first time this feature appears in an SE model. Apple has kept the SE series more budget-friendly in the past, but the SE 4 could change the game by integrating this advanced technology. Notably, last year's iPhone 15 did not feature Apple Intelligence, which further highlights the SE 4's potential as a cutting-edge but affordable option.

The iPhone SE 4 will likely be powered by the latest A18 chipset, which could be paired with 8GB of RAM. This powerful processor could enable Apple Intelligence features, putting it on par with the premium iPhone 16 series but at a fraction of the cost. This development has raised expectations that the SE 4 might take sales away from the iPhone 16, offering similar features for a much lower price.

Camera Setup: Single Camera, But Powerful
The iPhone SE 4 is expected to feature a single-camera setup, continuing a trend seen in previous SE models. While it may seem basic compared to the more expensive iPhone 16 models, the SE 4’s camera could still be impressive. It’s speculated that the SE 4 will include a Fusion Camera system, capable of lossless optical zoom up to 2x, delivering high-quality portrait shots even without a telephoto lens.

Expected Price in India
Currently, the iPhone SE 3 is priced around Rs. 47,600, following a recent price drop. Based on this, it’s likely that the iPhone SE 4 will be priced around Rs. 50,000 in India. With its new features, such as Apple Intelligence and a fast processor, it could be a strong contender in the Indian market. There’s also a chance Apple might slightly reduce the price, as seen with the iPhone 16 Pro models, although this is unlikely given the stable pricing of the standard iPhone 16 models.

Additionally, since Apple has been manufacturing its iPhone SE models locally in India, it’s possible that the iPhone SE 4 will be assembled in India as well, potentially helping to keep the price affordable.
