With the introduction of the iPhone SE product line, Apple hit the nail on the head. It came to the market with great phones that are much cheaper than the flagships, but still offer great performance and modern technology. The Cupertino giant always combines an older and proven design with a newer chipset in these phones. Although we only saw the last generation of the iPhone SE 3 this March, there are already rumors of an upcoming successor.

There is nothing to be surprised about. The upcoming iPhone SE 4 is to see big changes. The existing 2nd and 3rd generation iPhone SEs are based on the relatively old design of the iPhone 8, which is characterized by a relatively small display (compared to today's iPhones), large frames and a home button. All of that could finally disappear with the new addition. That's why speculation and leaks about the new iPhone SE 4 are getting so much attention. This model has huge potential and can easily become a sales hit.

Why the iPhone SE 4 has huge potential

Let's take a look at the most important thing, or why the iPhone SE 4 actually has so much potential. Apparently, Apple is preparing for a major improvement that can take the popular SE several levels forward. The key to success seems to be size itself. The most common speculation is that the new model will come with a 5,7″ or 6,1″ screen. Some reports are a little more specific and say that Apple should build the phone on the design of the iPhone XR, which was quite popular in its time. But question marks still hang over whether the Cupertino giant will decide to deploy an OLED panel, or whether it will continue to stick to LCD. LCD is significantly cheaper and this is one of the items on which the company could save. On the other hand, there are also reports of a drop in the price of OLED screens, which gives apple sellers some hope. Likewise, it is not clear about the deployment of Touch ID/Face ID.

Although the type of panel or technology for biometric authentication play an extremely important role, they are not so important in this particular case. On the contrary, the mentioned size is key, in combination with the fact that it should be a phone with an edge-to-edge display. The once iconic home button will definitely disappear from Apple's menu. Magnification is undoubtedly the most important step on the road to success. Smaller phones simply don't cut it anymore, and it no longer makes sense to continue with the current design. After all, this was beautifully confirmed by the reactions after the introduction of the iPhone SE 3. Most apple lovers were disappointed by the use of the same design. Of course, the subsequent price in combination with available technologies will also play an important role.

Some apple growers do not agree with the increase

Speculations about a larger body are greeted with enthusiasm by most apple fans. But there is also the second camp, which would prefer to preserve the current form and continue with the body based on the iPhone 8 (2017). If the iPhone SE 4 gets this expected change, the last compact Apple phone will be lost. But it is necessary to realize one extremely important fact. The iPhone SE is not meant to be a compact smartphone. Apple, on the other hand, portrays it as the cheapest iPhone that can serve as a ticket to the Apple ecosystem. The iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini were offered as compact models. But they suffered from poor sales, which is why Apple decided to cancel them.
