Notice to iPhone SE fans: the next model should not be longto point the tip of his nose, but be careful, its price may disappoint some! With thegradual disappearance of the iPhone 14, a void is created in Apple's range. The iPhone 15 now starts at €869, leaving the way open for the new iPhone SE. But at what price does Apple intend to offer it?
A home modem that does not compensate for the increase
According to leaks relayed by Japanese operators, count on less than $500 in the USA.Attractive at first glance, but in reality it hides an increase.Once the conversion into euros is done and taxes included, you could come close to €600 in France. As a reminder, the iPhone SE 3 was €529 before its withdrawal. For comparison, the $499 iPad mini across the Atlantic costs you €609 here.
However, the iPhone SE 4 will usher ina 5G modem designed by Apple. By doing without Qualcomm, the Apple firm hopes to reduce costs and optimize performance, as with Apple Silicon chips. However, it seems that this effort is not currently enough to lower the price of the future iPhone SE, and there is a reason for that!
A move upmarket which explains the price
Beyond its 5G modem, the iPhone SE 4 should adopt a modernized design, close to that of the iPhone 14. Apple thus intends to offera more premium user experience, even on its most affordable model.
This move upmarket would also result in the integration of8 GB of RAM, to support Apple Intelligence features.A strategic decision which aims to democratize access to the brand's in-house AI, but which could weigh on the final bill.
It remains to be seen whether this new proposal will convince users looking for an accessible iPhone. If the technical promises are there, you will have to wait for the first feedback on the reliability of your modem. If you are planning to buy this model, be aware that you could indeed act as “beta testers” in spite of yourself. A daring bet from Apple, which hopes to make this modelone of the most attractive of 2025.
