We already know how much the 2025 iPhone SE will cost: finally a cheap iPhone

According to the latest leak that has reached the media, it is said that Apple’s next phone, the iPhone SE, will be priced under $500, which will completely separate the iPhone family between the iPhone 16 series, starting at $799, and the iPhone SE family. The arrival of the iPhone SE 4 also means that Apple is preparing to reduce its dependence on Qualcomm, as the affordable model is said to be the first to hit the market with the company’s internal 5G modem, codenamed Centauri.

The arrival of the iPhone SE 4 also means that Apple is preparing to reduce its dependence on Qualcomm, as the affordable model is said to be the first to hit the market with the company’s internal 5G modem, codenamed Centauri.

By establishing its own telecommunications chip supply chain, Apple will no longer have to pay Qualcomm a considerable premium, which means it will have the flexibility to set a competitive price for the iPhone SE 4.

The iPhone SE 2025 for less than 500 dollars

The price update comes from the blog of yeux1122 on Naver, where the informant mentions that the retail price of the iPhone SE 4 in Japan will be less than 500 dollars.

In terms of value, the figure is exceptional, and although it is more expensive than the launch price of $429 for the iPhone SE 3, customers are expected to experience a lot of changes, both internal and external.

For $499, customers should expect the internal components of the iPhone SE 4 to include an A18 SoC, 8 GB of RAM, a large 6.06-inch OLED display that will lack ProMotion support, but overall, the setup is very compelling.

The iPhone 16, which is available for $799 in the US, also comes with an A18 chipset and 8 GB of RAM, so seeing Apple going for the somewhat more affordable route should make its competitors very nervous.

Additionally, thanks to the enhanced neural engine of the A18 and the increased amount of RAM, the iPhone SE 4 will be Apple’s most affordable model with generative artificial intelligence features. The iPhone SE 4 is expected to be launched in the first quarter of 2025.
