FULL STORY
======================================================================

Rumors surrounding the iPhone SE 4 have been swirling for some time, but 
until now we hadn't heard anything about its potential price. Thankfully, the 
latest iPhone SE 4 tip does finally give us an insight how much this 
supposedly budget phone might cost, but the numbers aren't so promising. 

According to reliable leaker @Revegnus1 , whose X account was deleted shortly 
after sharing this leak, the iPhone SE 4 will either cost the same price as 
the iPhone SE (2022) in the US (meaning it would start at $429), or rise by 
around 10%. In the latter case, Apple still apparently wont charge more than 
$499. 

That isnt terrible news  and if the phone's price stays the same, thats 
actively good news, especially as its replacing a model thats now over two 
years old. 

Unfortunately, though, it seems Apple may opt for higher regional pricing; 
@Revegnus1 notes that the iPhone SE 4's price will go up by around 15% in 
Europe and other countries, regardless of whether the price increases in the 
US or not. That would translate to a starting price of roughly 500 / AU$820 
(up from the 419 / AU$719 starting price of the current model). An acceptable

Price increases are never desirable, but in truth, these figures dont sound 
too unreasonable  aside from the fact that Apple is apparently taking an 
America-first approach to pricing. 

10-15% isnt a massive rumored price increase, and given that well probably be 
at least three years on from the iPhone SE (2022) by the time we see the 
iPhone SE 4, it comes as no real surprise that the price might rise, what 
with inflation. 

Plus, rumors suggest that the iPhone SE 4 might actually be a major upgrade 
on the current model too, with a new design that gets rid of the home button 
and massive bezels in favor of a notch and Face ID. 

Weve also heard that the iPhone SE 4 could have an Action button , a larger 
screen, and potentially an OLED display rather than an LCD one. Its also sure 
to be powerful based on past form, though its unclear exactly what chipset it 
will use. 

So, you could be getting a lot of phone for your money with the iPhone SE 4, 
and those rumored prices would still put the device in line with the likes of 
the Google Pixel 8a , which seems reasonable enough. 

In any case, we might not find out the confirmed price or specs of the iPhone 
SE 4 for quite a while yet, with most leaks suggesting that we wont see the 
phone before 2025 at the earliest. You might also like iPhone 16 : release
