The current iPhone SE is the last model to feature Touch ID instead of Face ID
A new rumor suggests that Apple’s budget-friendly iPhone SE could get a substantial redesign in its fourth iteration — and a higher price tag.
The iPhone SE is known for being Apple’s budget-friendly iPhone, and currently, the only model available for those who still prefer Touch ID over Face ID. However, a new rumor from Ice Universe, a leaker with a good track record, says that’s about to change.
It would boast Apple’s A18 chip and either 6GB or 8GB of RAM. Like its predecessors, it would only feature one camera but would be upgraded to a 48-megapixel camera over the third-generation iPhone SE 12 megapixels.
With such upgrades, it’s unsurprising that the leaker says the price will also increase. Currently, the iPhone SE 3 is available for $429 for the 64 GB model.
The upcoming iPhone SE 4 would likely start at $499 for the base model, costing as much as $549 for the model with the most storage. This is a substantial price jump for those looking for an affordable iPhone.
