The iPhone SE 4 price is leaking again – and it could cost more than the iPhone SE 3
- The iPhone SE 4 could come in under $500
- Prices will vary between countries
- A slight price increase compared to the iPhone SE 3 is likely
While we patiently wait for the iPhone SE 4 to appear – March 2025 seems likely as a launch window – we’ve just received some more information about a possible price, information that neatly ties in with previous rumors.
According to known tipster jaux1122 (via @Jukanlosreve), the price in the US will be under $500. That would be an increase of about 16-17% over the starting price of the current model, and it’s a price prediction we’ve heard before.
The Ny Breaking iPhone SE (2022) review will tell you that the 3rd generation version of this phone started at $429 / £419 / AU$719, although it’s not unreasonable to expect some price fluctuations when the successor arrives three years later.
And that applies to the 64GB model – it’s possible the new iPhone SE 4 will start with 128GB of storage inside. An iPhone SE (2022) with 128GB of storage costs $479 / £469 / AU$799, which is perhaps a fairer comparison to the last price leak, and would mean a much smaller price increase.
A modern iPhone SE
Naturally, international currency exchange rates will play a role here, as usual. The same tipster predicts a starting price for South Korea of over 800,000 won – substantially more than the current starting price of 650,000 won.
In other words, you may pay more or less for the iPhone SE 4 depending on the country you live in and your current financial situation. Clearly, Apple will do its best to keep prices low – as this is the affordable iPhone option.
It looks like this will be the first iPhone SE with a modern look – with Face ID instead of Touch ID and a home button – and the upcoming device is rumored to closely follow the 2022 iPhone 14 design.
The device has also been tipped to come with an Apple-made chip for Wi-Fi and 5G, something yeux1122 supports in this latest leak. That should mean that the phone costs Apple less, with an element of its own brand included, but we’ll have to wait and see whether those savings are passed on to consumers.
