I still think Apple is going to have a hard time justifying the $300 difference between the SE 4 and iPhone 16. An extra camera (most people aren't using), camera control button (not going to say much more here but... mehh). Outside of this? Internals are going to be the exact same. I just don't see it.
Comparing the rumored SE 4 vs iPhone 16
- Essentially same frame
- same CPU
- same RAM
- same base 128GB storage
- same Apple Intelligence
- same screen and paltry 60hz refresh
- more than likely very similar battery life
- Notch vs Dynamic Island
- Apple Modem vs Qualcomm (too early to tell)
- camera button (not really the needle mover for most people)
- extra camera (i'd be willing to bet most people aren't using - and if you are, you bought the Pro/Max)
This basically says Dynamic Island, Camera Button, and extra camera most people don't use is worth $300 more?? Am I missing something?
This is definitely Apple Modem so you should add Qualcomm to the bottom of your list. I cant remember if SE 2 or SE 3 has less memory. But this iPhone SE is definitely one of the best price / performance iPhone in recent history.
My guess is that this is intentionally done to provide valuable real world data for Apple to tune their Modem.
