Analysts said that if Apple decided not to launch a new iPhone SE until after 2024, it could indicate that the company’s rumored self-developed 5G modem is not yet ready, which would benefit Qualcomm.

Apple has reportedly been working on its own 5G modem since 2018, and in 2019 acquired the majority of Intel’s smartphone modem business.

In April of this year, Ming-Chi Kuo said that mass production of Apple basebands will start as early as 2025, which means that even the iPhone 16 series phones launched later next year will continue to use Qualcomm basebands.

Ming-Chi Kuo has previously claimed that the design of the next-generation iPhone SE will be similar to the standard iPhone 14 model released last year, suggesting that the device will feature a 6.1-inch OLED display and Face ID capabilities.

The current iPhone SE, released in March 2022, is equipped with a 4.7-inch LCD screen, supports Touch ID, 5G, is also equipped with a 12-megapixel rear camera and an A15 Bionic chip, and starts at $429 in the United States.

Sebastiaan de With shared a tweet about the new feature, translated as follows: “I’ve been using the new Neural Telephoto feature on the iPhone SE for a while to try out and test it. I like the photos I take with native RAW and virtual 2x Extra range for zoom”.

Neural Telephoto brings new functionality to non-Pro iPhone models that lack a physical telephoto lens. You can think of it as a virtual telephoto lens.

When you use the digital zoom, the picture is often blurred and the diagonal lines look a bit jagged. With Neural Telephoto, we enhance the detail of zoomed photos by applying the same machine learning system that powers our acclaimed Macro mode, giving you a brand new virtual 2x lens for free!

Shooting samples are as follows.

But there’s actually a cheaper phone in Apple’s lineup – the iPhone SE – which is just as good a choice if you’re on a budget.

The current iPhone SE 3 has almost the same shape as the iPhone 8, but the latest news is that Apple is working on the iPhone SE 4, which will be a “sea change” in design, and is simply a replica of the iPhone XR.

This means that the iPhone SE 4 will eliminate the front home button, while increasing the display area. If it is a bangs screen, then it will support Face ID face recognition, and if it is a dugout screen, then the corresponding side fingerprint, but the former is more likely.

Just to reduce costs, the iPhone SE 4 may also use an LCD LCD screen, rather than OLED.

The reason why Apple has to make drastic adjustments to the iPhone SE is because of the poor sales of SE 3. Although the old users still have the plot, but the small screen, poor battery life have made the iPhone SE 3 become “can only watch from afar but not profane” existence.

In fact, according to data from industry bodies, iPhone SE sales in China are indeed average, with 2021 data, for example, iPhone SE 2 global sales, China only contributed 8%, while Japan ranked first, contributing 33%, the United States ranked second, contributing 24%.

Considering the population base, and the distribution of sales of the iPhone 13 series, etc., it does show that Chinese users really don’t love this cheap iPone SE too much, while Americans and Japanese still love the iPhone SE more.

Of course, whether for small size phone lovers, users with limited budget or for those who buy it as a backup, iPhone SE has the “pass” to use the latest iOS system with the lowest cost.

So, are you in love with the iPhone SE? If you really can not leave, it is recommended to wait a little longer.

As for the release time, iPhone SE 4 is expected to be released in March next year, the starting price to maintain 3499 yuan.
