iPhone SE 4 launch timeline (leaked)
According to a new report from the Korean outlet AJU News, Apple has partnered with electronics giant LG Innotek to produce key components for the iPhone SE 4. The report indicates that LG Innotek is scheduled to commence mass production of the iPhone SE 4’s camera modules within the next few weeks, with full-scale production expected to take place in December 2024.This timeline fits with Apple’s usual release strategy, as the company typically begins component production several months before unveiling a new model.
The report adds that Apple’s suppliers generally deliver camera modules around three months before a new smartphone launch. If this holds true, it suggests that Apple is planning to reveal the iPhone SE 4 in March 2025, aligning with the release pattern of previous SE models. The last iPhone SE, for instance, was launched in March, which seems to have become Apple’s preferred launch window for this budget-friendly lineup.
