The first iPhone SE became popular in recent years for being more affordable than the regular flagship series. These devices also give some nostalgic fans the chance to experiment with older iPhones’ design language with improved specifications. However, the pricing aspect is still one of the most appealing characteristics of this smartphone. As per a new report from X, the upcoming iPhone SE 4 will cost more than its predecessor. However, Apple will aim for a price tag below $499.
iPhone SE 4 to cost more than its predecessor
According to a tipster Revegnus on social media, the iPhone SE 4 will come with a new price tag. It should cost between $429 and $499. The iPhone SE 3 arrived with that exact price tag of $429, so the next model in the lineup will cost above this mark. Unfortunately, there is still no way to determine how far the price hike will go. In any case, a price hike is always significant, especially for a lineup that has its affordability as one of its most important pillars.
Gizchina News of the week
If the price of the new US iPhone SE 4 rises by 10%, it will get close to $470. Of course, there is still no solid evidence to back the new rumor. For the time being, we should digest this info with a pinch of time. According to trusted sources like Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the next iPhone SE should see its debut sometime in 2025.
As per the information available, the iPhone SE 4 will get an iPhone 14-inspired design with a smaller notch and the inclusion of Face ID. The new technology could justify the price hike. However, considering all the changes in the market since the last iPhone SE 3 in 2022, we won’t be surprised by a price hike.
We are still a couple of months away from the release of the new iPhone SE 4. The iPhone 16 series is also expected to come first, so we still expect more details to surface in the coming months.
ooooh what a surprise…
