Apple’s next-gen iPhone SE is rumored to be around the corner and per economic newspaper Ajunews, LG Innotek is set to begin mass production of the front camera model for the handset. Final tests are now said to be underway, with mass production of the module following next month.
It’s been reported that LG Innotek usually supplies camera modules about three months before the launch of new smartphones, which aligns with current rumors of an iPhone SE 4 launch for March or April of 2025. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo estimates that Apple suppliers will produce around 8.6 million iPhone SE 4 units through the first quarter of next year.
The sub-$500 device is expected to feature a design similar to the base iPhone 14. Rumored specifications include a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, a newer A-series chip, a USB-C port, a single 48-megapixel rear camera, 8GB of RAM to support Apple Intelligence, and Apple’s first in-house 5G modem. Apple released the existing iPhone SE in March 2022.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
