A new budget -friendly iPhone is almost here. For months, reports have shown an early 2025 omission, and the CEO of Tim Cook made fires with an X post this week. “Get ready to meet the newest member of the family,” he wrote, along with the date, “Wednesday, February 19”, and hashtag #applelaunch. A video embedded in the post describes a glossy Apple logo and what could be the reflection of an iPhone moving inside it.
What is the big issue for another iPhone? Of course, Apple announces a new iPhone family every fall, but she has not introduced a new version of the iPhone Since since March 2022. Models that usually call technology and features in favor of affordability. The 2022 iPhone SE starts at $ 429, much less than $ 799 of the iPhone 16 input level. This makes it an ideal first phone for children or a simpler opportunity for people who need or prefer basics.
Beyond the past time between the iphone SE omissions, there have been major technology shifts. In March 2022, on-Device it was not one thing, 5G networks were not so powerful, and the USB-C port had not yet mandated in all electronic devices sold in the European Union. The iPhone SE of 2022 does not offer it and rests on the old Port of Apple Lightning. This means we have to expect big changes for the iPhone 4 – and we will surely get them.

Leakers and Tipters have already provided us with a good summary of what we can see on February 19th. For example, the iPhone SE is likely to remove the outdated iPhone 8 model in favor of the iPhone 14. It will lose the home button and touch the Face ID ID. There will still be a single camera, but it can be updated on the 48MP melting camera of iPhone 16. A larger OLED screen, a USB-C port and Apple intelligence are also good bets.
While those updates will bring that they are updated, they leave a lot of room for other improvements. Given this, these are the five traits that I think will make the biggest difference.
1. Best battery life
The iPhone SE of 2022 is not arranged for its stellar battery life. In our test, it lasted only 7 hours and 20 minutes. This is much less than 18 hours we got with the iPhone 16, which has the “worst” life of the iPhone 16 series battery. They all deserve a phone that gets them during the day. Since we expect the iPhone than 4 to pack a much younger processor – and so much more efficient -, we can probably lead a better battery life this time. Oh, and remember the wireless magsafe charging.
2. More support 5G
The iPhone SE at Apple’s exit covers the under-6GHz 5G basic bands that were widely used in 2022, but sent without support to the AT&T medium spectrum 3.45GHz. This really holds it back as an option for AT&T customers. While we do not necessarily expect Apple to donate it with the fastest MMWave service, it is not a great requirement to update the support of the group to cover the entire C-band for North America. Further, we hope that Apple updates mobile antennas. That old has a 2×2 mimo deal, which limits its performance. Most of the iPhone from the iPhone 13 family have 4×4 mimo, which allows faster and more durable connections. And while we’re asking, Wi-Fi 7 would be fine.
3. A sharper screen
In approval of the iPhone 14 design, the iPhone SE screen is set to become bigger and more sharp. The output model has a small screen (by today’s standards) 4.7 inches with a resolution of 1,334 with 750 pixels. With all the 4K and HD content available available from video broadcasting services and social media sites, we deserve more pixels. The iPhone 14 MAT 6.1 inches screen and has a resolution of 2,532 with 1,170 pixels for a density of 460ppi. It would be good if Apple approves this same screen size and resolution.

4. Modern cameras
The Iphone SE cameras of 2022 are a weakness. The main camera catches only 12MP. Selfie camera is a low 7MP. The iPhone that at the outgoing takes quite good photos in the light of the day, but suffers when the sun sets – and people do not stop photographing after it is dark. Reports suggest that the iPhone 4 will stick to a single main camera, and we really hope is the full 48MP union of the iPhone 16 series. That camera is capable of taking great pictures, including magnification 2x, holding a high degree of accuracy of colors and sharpness. Apple would also do good to use the 12MP selfie camera of iPhone 16.
5. The fastest performance and he
This desire is almost guaranteed to be given, but it still holds there. The iPhone 2022 uses Apple’s A15 processor, which is completely good for almost all general uses. However, Apple has made significant changes in its processor architecture over the last generations, and the iPhone 16 family A18 is a beast. As mentioned above, the iPhone than 4 is likely to send with A18. It makes sense for Apple to set his iPhone at the lowest cost in performance equality with its most costly options only for Apple’s intelligence. Even if Apple’s that is not the most compelling point of sale (still), it makes the company have a common set of common characteristics throughout its lineup.
