As speculation around the new iPhone SE heats up, Apple seems set to push the boundaries of what is expected of an entry-level smartphone. The upcoming iPhone SE 4, due next year, could not only inherit the aesthetics of the iPhone 16 but also integrate advanced AI features previously reserved for the Pro models.
Yesterday, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, known for his reliable information on Apple products, revealed that the upcoming iPhone SE would support Apple Intelligence, indicating more power than the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. This development suggests a significant jump in performance, putting the iPhone SE in a category that could rival current high-end offerings.
The iPhone SE 4 promises to radically transform Apple’s approach to affordable smartphones. According to emerging details, the model will ditch the old 4.7-inch LCD display for a larger 6.1-inch OLED screen, and replace the traditional home button with Face ID facial recognition technology. Additionally, the phone is expected to come with 6 to 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM, significantly increasing its processing power.
Despite these substantial improvements, Apple seems determined to keep the iPhone SE price below $500, making these cutting-edge technologies accessible to a wider audience. This strategy could not only redefine the entry-level smartphone category but also put pressure on other manufacturers to improve their own budget offerings.
With the planned introduction of the iPhone SE 4, Apple is positioning itself to change the rules of the game in the affordable smartphone segment. This strategy, combining high technology and affordable pricing, could encourage new users to join the Apple ecosystem. It remains to be seen whether this new pricing policy and technological advances will also be reflected in the Moroccan market.
