A recent leak suggests that the iPhone SE 4 could be released in the first part of next year. The leak from China also revealed the cost of budget iPhones and their internal specifications. It is expected to have a 6.06-inch OLED display.
Ice Universe, a tipster, reported suspected iPhone SE 4 pricing, specifications, and a launch timeline on Weibo. According to the source, the pint-sized iPhone might be released between March and May of next year. It is believed to cost between $499 and $549. For comparison, the iPhone SE (2022) debuted with a starting price of $429 for the base 64GB model.

This would be a significant upgrade from the 4.7-inch screen on the iPhone SE (2022). The display could be an OLED panel. This will most likely be the first iPhone SE model to use an OLED screen. The most recent information supports previous releases.
