iPhone SE 4 could finally catch up to Androids from 2010
The upcoming iPhone SE 4 is creating quite a stir, especially among those who appreciate a compact yet powerful device. According to recent leaks, there’s an exciting development related to the iPhone SE 4: it’s finally adopting an OLED display! Let’s dive into the details:
- OLED Display Arrival:
- The iPhone SE 4 is expected to feature an OLED panel, marking a significant shift from the LCD displays that previous SE models used.
- This move aligns with Apple’s broader adoption of OLED technology across its iPhone lineup.
- 60Hz Refresh Rate:
- While OLED displays offer advantages like better contrast and color accuracy, the iPhone SE 4 is likely to stick with a 60Hz refresh rate.
- Although some Android devices boast higher refresh rates, a consistent 60Hz should still provide a smooth experience.
- Exclusion of JDI and Sharp:
- Interestingly, this transition away from LCD displays means that two longstanding Japanese panel makers, Japan Display (JDI) and Sharp, will no longer be part of Apple’s iPhone supply chain.
- Their LCD panels have served iPhones for years, but OLED’s dominance has shifted the landscape.
- What Else to Expect:
- Beyond the display, the iPhone SE 4 is rumored to feature an iPhone 14-like design, Face ID (instead of Touch ID), a USB-C port, and an all-screen look without the Home Button.
- The display size is expected to grow from 4.7 inches to 6.06 inches, offering more screen real estate.
- Internal RAM might increase to 8GB, up from 4GB in the 2022 model, thanks to the hardware requirements of Apple Intelligence.
- Release Timeline:
- Apple suppliers are gearing up for mass production, and the iPhone SE 4 could be released ahead of the Lunar New Year in January 2025.
- However, considering the historical release pattern of previous SE models, a March 2025 launch is also possible.
Photography enthusiasts and fans of compact yet capable devices can look forward to the iPhone SE 4’s arrival!
