iPhone SE 4 Could Be More Expensive

Apple's fourth-generation iPhone SE could see a slight price increase over the current model, according to a new report originating in Asia.

Citing a Japanese source, the aggregator known as "yeux1122" on Korean social media site Naver claims that the fourth-generation ‌iPhone‌ SE will be priced below 78,000 yen–about $500. However, the price of the device is likely to exceed 800,000 won in Korea—around $540. This international pricing may indicate that the new ‌iPhone‌ SE could come in at a slightly higher price than the current model, which starts at $429.

Previous reports have indicated that the new model may continue to be priced starting at $429, or see an increase of around 10 percent. This would place it at about $470. Apple reportedly plans to keep the pricing below $500 in the United States, even if the price does go up slightly.

While the ‌iPhone‌ SE is Apple's low-cost ‌iPhone‌ option, a small price increase would be understandable given the device's expected upgrade to Face ID, a more modern all-screen design, OLED, USB-C, and more. The fourth-generation ‌iPhone‌ SE could launch as soon as March 2025.

Will it also come with 128GB storage rather than 64GB?
I’m expecting 128 GB to be the minimum nowadays

Most of us have been assuming the new SE will come in at $499 - at least in the U.S.

My prediction is that the SE4 will replace the iPhone 14 in the line up at $599. Apple will then monitor the unit sales at this higher price point. If it sells well, they will keep the lineup as it is. If sales fall off, I think they will introduce an SE Mini in 2026 at the $499 price point.
