Apple Iphone SE 4 launch today: Today is the day when we might get to see the much-anticipated launch of Apple's new family member the iPhone SE 4. The purported event is not specifically a launch event but Apple's CEO Tim Cook had teased the arrival of a new product on February 19, and there has been much speculation about the iPhone SE 4 and what it could possibly bring with it.
If we are to believe in rumours this time Apple has planned some major design changes in its affordable iPhone.
Where And How To Watch the Apple iPhone SE 4 Launch Event?
The Apple Event is going to take place at 10:00 AM PT which is 11:30 IST in India.
The event is supposed to take place in Apple Park in Cupertino California, with Tim Cook as host along with other senior executives.
The event will also be streamed online and can be watched online on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, Apple TV and Apple's social media handles (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram).
What To Expect From The Apple iPhone SE 4
This time it feels like Apple's iPhone SE 4 is going to say goodbye to its classic but dated look that the predecessors had, and go for a more iPhone 14-like look, with a 6.1-inch full-screen display which would be a first for the SE series smartphones. This would also mean that it's time-up for the good old home button, and finally, we could see Face ID for authentication on the new SE 4.

One of the things that are making the biggest buzz is its display and if the leaks are true Apple might bid farewell to the LCD screens and welcome an OLED display, which promises better colours, contrast and an overall better viewing experience. I am still not sure if we will get to see a Dynamic Island, but reports suggest that Apple might not say goodbye to everything yet and might still stick with the notch design.
When it comes to cameras the iPhone SE 4 might stick to a single rear camera but it is expected to get a major upgrade. A 48-megapixel camera is expected which is a leap from its predecessor which had a 12-megapixel shooter.
Another big upgrade that is expected is its chip. Apple might go for the A18 chip which currently powers the iPhone 16 series flagships. This is to ensure that there is no compromise in performance on a budget iPhone, and with that, we can also expect Apple's AI feature to make an entry, Apple Intelligence, in its affordable smartphone segment.
How Much Will It Cost? (Expected)
When Apple launched the iPhone SE in 2022, it was priced at Rs 43,999. This time, it’s expected to be around the same price range. While it's unlikely Apple will lower the launch price, we might see it priced at Rs 44,999. If Apple decides to raise the price, it could start at Rs 49,999. However, there’s also a possibility that Apple could surprise buyers and launch it at Rs 39,999.
We can expect the pre-orders to start from Feb 23, 2025, and the deliveries from March 1. India, the USA, Canada and the UK might be the first markets to get a hold of this new device.
As anticipation builds it would be exciting to see what Apple has in store for us this time, are we going to have yet another iPhone with the same old specs just tweaks and amped-up a bit, or is Apple going to bring some groundbreaking implements this time, so stay tuned in to get the latest updates.
