iPhone SE 4 First Leak promises big upgrades! Should you wait for it?

tech.hindustantimes.com:

The iPhone SE shows how a giant like Apple thinks when it comes to affordable phones. Unlike other Android brands that design a new phone from scratch, Apple doesn't want to compromise with the user experience and hence, relies on old designs with new chipsets to deliver the intended experience. That's why the iPhone SE 3 launched in early 2022 looks like the vintage iPhone 6 but with the processor from the iPhone 13 and a new design. For the iPhone SE 4 though, Apple is said to be moving to a newer generation of its discarded iPhones.

Apple leak guru Jon Prosser said in a recent podcast that the next generation iPhone SE, dubbed the iPhone SE 4, is likely to be based on the same form factor as the iPhone XR. This would be a big change from the present iteration of the iPhone SE, which is based on the iPhone 8. The iPhone XR will mark a major departure from the core values the iPhone SE introduced back in 2016 with the first generation model.

If you have been buying the iPhone SE every generation, then you need to know what you can expect with the 4th generation model.

The iPhone SE will ditch the vintage 4.7-inch display design in favour of a 6.1-inch edge-to-edge display. It will still use an LCD display but the increase in space could be a big upgrade from long-time iPhone SE users. This also means iPhone SE users will need to adjust to the Face ID system of biometric verification instead of the Touch ID system.

With a bigger display, the iPhone SE 4 will also get bigger. The iPhone XR was a big phone by all means and substantially heavy too. Hence, iPhone SE 4 may lose its compact form factor. It will however come with an IP67 water and dust resistance rating and wireless charging, which is the same as the iPhone SE 3.
