Apple's fourth-generation iPhone SE is said to be in the works. The budget iPhone, which is touted to come as the successor to the iPhone SE (2022), doesn't have a launch date yet, but it is believed to bring a design overhaul and exciting new features. Now, a tipster suggests that the iPhone SE 4 would cost slightly more than the existing model. The iPhone SE 4 is expected to adopt the design of the iPhone 14 and come with a larger battery along with Face ID support.

Tipster J. Reve (@Revegnus1) on X claims that Apple will keep the price of the iPhone SE 4 below $500 (roughly Rs. 41,000). The iPhone SE (2022) was unveiled with a starting price tag of $429 (roughly Rs. 35,000). According to the tipster, the US launch price could either remain at $429 or go up around 10 percent. Even if the price increases, Apple could keep it within the $499 price bracket.

Apple is rumoured to introduce the iPhone SE 4 with a 48-megapixel primary rear camera in 2025. It is likely to feature a 6.1-inch LTPS OLED screen and a 3,279mAh battery similar to the iPhone 14. It is expected to include Face ID and Apple's in-house 5G modem chip. It is likely to include a USB Type-C port for charging and could measure 147.7x71.5x7.7mm in size.
