Apple skipped on an iPhone SE model this year but we might just see one in 2024. Rumours around the ‘iPhone SE 4’ have been floating around for quite some time, and a new one suggests the device’s battery details. The rumours point towards Apple borrowing much from the iPhone 14 for the iPhone SE 4.
iPhone SE 4 battery details leaked
- iPhone SE 4 will most likely come with the same battery as the iPhone 14, according to findings discovered by MacRumours.
- Apple has been testing iPhone SE 4 prototypes, and partially assembled models feature lithium-ion batteries with the model number A2863. This is the same model number associated with the iPhone 14’s battery.
- If this turns out to be true, the iPhone SE 4 will come with a significant battery upgrade over the previous models. iPhone 14 packs a 3,279mAh battery, which would be much higher than the 2,018mAh battery the iPhone SE 3 is equipped with so it’ll be a notable upgrade.
- But this could change since these are prototype models of the iPhone SE 4, and the final unit might ship with a different battery.
iPhone SE 4: what we know so far
It looks like the iPhone SE 4 is going to be based on the iPhone 14, something similar we’ve seen with the previous iPhone SE models. That’s good news for anyone waiting for the iPhone SE 4 as rumours heavily suggest it’s going to come with the same design as the iPhone 14.
So you’ll get a more updated look with flat edges, and a bigger screen size since the iPhone SE 4 is said to be very closely sized as the iPhone 14. But there’s still debate on the presence of a Touch ID button on the iPhone SE 4. Rumours suggest it will come back but a recent report claims Apple’s Touch ID division has been permanently shut down. This indicates that the iPhone SE 4 will come with Face ID for biometric authentication.
There are bigger upgrades planned for the iPhone SE 4. These include an Action button and USB Type-C port that debuted with the iPhone 15 series. Based on these rumours and reports, Apple is planning to offer quite a lot with the iPhone SE 4. Now we’ll just have to wait for the launch, which will hopefully take place next year.
