Like other budget iPhone models, the iPhone SE 4 should lose value quickly

Based on the iPhone 14, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to be a “budget” iPhone model unlike any other iPhone SE model ever released before. THE iPhone SE4 will feature Face ID instead of Touch ID, making it the first SE model to offer the facial recognition feature to unlock the phone. A 6.1-inch OLED panel, the first found on a iPhone SEwill replace the 4.7-inch LCD screen of the iPhone SE 3. The screen will have an old-fashioned 60Hz refresh rate.

A thing that iPhone SE Buyers should understand that these phones depreciate more quickly than full-price iPhone models. For example, the third generation iPhone SE, released in March 2022, lost 42.6% of its value just one month after its launch. This compares to the 18.7% drop in value experienced by the iPhone 13 over the same period. After three months, the latter was able to see its value stabilize while the iPhone SE3 continued to decline in value.

THE iPhone SE3 would lose its value much faster than the full price iPhone14 and iPhone 15 models. And the iPhone SE4 could depreciate as quickly as previous SE versions due to the budget nature of the phone; the public tends to favor full-price models with the latest technology. Consumers fear that their purchase of a iPhone SE This model is a bad investment because devices using older technology tend to become obsolete more quickly.

THE iPhone SE4 could be powered by a 4nm Apple A16 Bionic application processor (AP) and come with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of native storage. A single 12 MP rear camera is expected to be mounted on the back panel with a 12 MP front-facing FaceTime camera included. iOS 18 must be preinstalled.
