The new budget iPhone SE 4 is expected to be equipped with the A18 chip, which will allow it to have the same performance as the flagship iPhone 16 model.
What is known about the iPhone SE 4
Previously, there were rumors that the device would use the A17 Pro chip, but most sources insisted on using the more powerful A18 chip. The A18 chip in the iPhone SE 4 will allow Apple to close the performance gap between its flagship and budget models.
The news about the A18 chip in the iPhone SE 4 was published by a private account on the X website via MacRumors. The leak indicates the presence of the T8140 ID in the chip of the new iPhone SE 4, which coincides with the IDs of the A18 and A18 Pro chips. It is expected that this will be the A18 chip, since Apple does not intend to use a flagship chip in its budget iPhone.
If this information is confirmed, then we can expect the performance of the iPhone SE 4 to be comparable to the flagship iPhone 16 models.
