iPhone SE 4 First to Get Apple-Designed 5G Modem, iPhone 17 Pro to Add Custom Wi-Fi 7 Chip

This is shaping up so the SE will go from being the most reliable phone to being the guinea pig model.

In which ways is it the most reliable phone?

Good to know. Was expecting it to be a single chip.

Any chance the SE 4 will NOT get an UWB chip ?

The SE1, SE2, and SE3 have all gone without UWB.

How much do we think this base iPhone is going to cost ?

When was the last time we had an iPhone SE which had problems with it's modem or WiFi or anything else? Can you say the same for the regular iPhone launches?

I never see in these rumours what the BT version will be, I assume they’ll adopt BT6?

By the time the new SE comes out the iPhone 17 will be at the end of its design cycle. If the SE is a guinea pig seems safe to say that it won't make it into the 17--unless they have two designs to give to Foxconn that they can make a late decision on after a couple months of SE data. But maybe they are confident enough in the modem that they are already planning to put it in the 17. Kind of like the iPad pro being the first machine with an M4.
