Apple CEO Tim Cook has announced a special Apple event on February 19, 2025. The event will commence at 10 AM PT (11:30 PM IST) and will be streamed live from Apple Park in Cupertino, California.

Indian audiences can tune in to watch the iPhone SE 4 launch live on the following platforms:

Apart from the iPhone SE 4, Apple is also expected to introduce the MacBook Air M4 during the event.

iPhone SE 4 Expected Specifications and Features

The iPhone SE 4 is set to undergo a major design overhaul, moving away from the traditional home button in favor of Face ID. Reports indicate that the device will feature a notch design similar to the iPhone 14, accommodating a 12MP front camera with Face ID support.

The smartphone is expected to come with:

• 6.1-inch OLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate
• Apple A18 chip, the same processor powering the iPhone 16 series
• 8GB RAM and 128GB storage (base variant)
• 48MP single-lens rear camera, a significant upgrade from the previous 12MP sensor
• Apple’s first in-house 5G modem, replacing the Qualcomm alternative

With these upgrades, the iPhone SE 4 is rumored to be Apple’s most affordable AI-powered smartphone. It is likely to support Apple Intelligence, allowing users to experience AI features previously available only in premium models.

iPhone SE 4 Expected Price in India, USA, and Dubai

Apple has not officially disclosed the pricing, but leaks suggest that the iPhone SE 4 could be priced at around Rs 50,000 in India, USD 499 in USA and AED 2,000 in Dubai.

This makes it one of the most affordable iPhones to date, especially considering its AI capabilities and high-end specifications. Reports indicate that pre-orders for the iPhone SE 4 could begin on February 21, with the official sale starting from February 28.

The iPhone SE 4 will compete with other affordable premium smartphones like the Google Pixel 9a, Nothing Phone 3a, and Samsung Galaxy S23 FE. Given Apple’s strong reputation for security and software support, the SE 4 could attract buyers looking for an entry-level iPhone with flagship-level performance.
