Apple could release an amazing and innovative iPhone SE 4endowing it with the former 5G chip produced by the multinational itself.
iPhone SE 4 with Apple’s 5G chip?
According to the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo there are few doubts about it, also confirmed by the drop in chip orders Qualcomm. Indeed Apple, if for the iPhone SE 3 had used the chip Snapdragon X57 to equip it with 5G technology, in the near future it would seem more willing than ever to start its own production.

[Update] Apple has restarted the iPhone SE 4 and will adopt an in-house 5G baseband chip. The significant decline in Qualcomm’s Apple orders in the foreseeable future is a foregone conclusion. https://t.co/0MeZDFnbzg— Ming-Chi Kuo (@mingchikuo) February 27, 2023
Kuo, in his Twitter thread, not only announces a historic decision for Apple, but dedicates a few tweets to the description of what could be the next iPhone SE 4.
Abstractly we could imagine it as a sort of iPhone 14with a screen 6.1-inch OLED and narrow bezelsfor a major upgrade over the SE 3’s 4.7-inch screen.
For the design, other rumors would like it very similar to theiPhone RX del 2018but without the camera components TrueDepth and with Touch ID security release positioned on the side.
As for Apple’s first 5G chip, Kuo delights us with other information, stating that the SE 4 will most likely be equipped with a 4 nanometer chips very similar to the 5 nm one.
Finally, it is not yet clear whether the 5G chip produced by Apple itself will also be integrated into the future iPhone 16 and future devices. What is certain, according to Kuo, is that if the company were to actually develop a similar technology on its own, the collaboration with Qualcomm would inexorably deteriorate, seeing collapse orders.
Even the analyst expects a significant decrease in the Apple-Qualcomm business within the next few years 2-5 years to the utmost.
Waiting to discover the iPhone SE 4 and the future iPhone 16, we can catalyze the wait on something else, thinking that there are only a few months left before the release of the innovative iPhone 15.
