In 2025, in addition to the iPhone 17, Apple will also present the fourth generation of its most affordable smartphone: the iPhone SE. It is expected that this will arrive with a new design compared to previous versions, as well as with a more powerful processor prepared for Apple Intelligence, USB-C and an improved screen. There is, however, a small novelty that could have a considerable impact on the price of this iPhone SE 4: it will make it much cheaper.
According to a rumor from a leaker, the iPhone SE 4 It would cost less than $500. thanks to the inclusion of a key component. Specifically, this model would use a cellular modem chip designed by Apple itself. This would allow the Cupertino company to dispense with Qualcomm and its 5G modems that until now they used in smartphones. In turn, Apple will not have to pay for the license for said modem, which would allow the company to reduce the cost of its new model, and thus make it much more competitive against brands such as Samsung or Xiaomi.
It is important to mention that, in the United States, the third generation iPhone SE already costs less than 500 euros—specifically, $429. However, the great changes that will come to this fourth generation, inevitably, will make its price increase. That the iPhone SE 4 is below $500 is, therefore, very good news.

Now, what new features will come with the iPhone SE 4? According to the latest leaks, Apple could modify the design of this device, finally eliminating the large frames on the screen and opting for an appearance more similar to the iPhone Xr, with a notch in the upper area and a larger panel.
