Changes in iPhone SE 4 development
Around the upcoming iPhone SE 4, it was rather quiet on the footpath for a while. But now the well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo spoke on this topic again, who said in connection with the expected news that Apple has resumed its development and that some changes have taken place in this area. Kuo said in several of his recent tweets that Apple has restarted the development of the iPhone SE 4. The fourth generation of this popular model should be equipped with an OLED display instead of the originally planned LED display, according to Kuo. Instead of a modem from Qualcomm, the iPhone SE 4 should use components from Apple's workshop, the diagonal of the display should be 6,1″. However, the release date is still in the stars, with 2024 being speculated.

Modems from Apple in future iPhones
Apple has been continuing to move to its own components for some time now. After the processors, we could also expect modems from the workshop of the Cupertino company in the foreseeable future. According to available reports, the iPhones of the 16 series could already receive these components. This is indicated, among other things, by the fact that Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon, according to his own words, did not discuss modem orders with Apple for 2024. Apple has been relying on modem chips from Qualcomm for several years , but relations between the two companies were also relatively tense for some time. To speed up work on its own 5G modem chip, Apple bought Intel's modem division, among other things.

Annoying limitation of USB-C connectors in future iPhones
The introduction of USB-C connectors in iPhones is inevitable due to European Union regulations. Many users are looking forward to this new feature because, among other things, they expect more freedom when it comes to using cables. However, according to the latest news, it looks like Apple is preparing an unpleasant restriction in this direction. The ShrimpApplePro Twitter account pointed out this week that future iPhones could slow down both charging and data transfer speeds in some cases.
Cables w no MFI will be software limited in data and charging speed

The aforementioned limitation should occur in cases where the user does not use an original cable from Apple, or a cable with MFi certification, or a cable otherwise approved.
