A new leak claims that Apple may increase the price of the forthcoming iPhone SE 4, but that it is working to keep it at no higher than $499.
When the on, off, and on again iPhone SE 4 finally comes to market — possibly in early 2025 — there's no doubt that it will be a lower-cost model than the rest of the range. But a new leak claims that while Apple is working to constrain the price, there could be an increase over the current model.
iPhone SE 4 Price Rumors:

- The US launch price will either remain at $429 or see an increase of around 10%.
- Even if the price increases, the maximum target is to stay within $499. https://t.co/fROQe2eabr
A 10% increase would see the iPhone SE 4 rise from its current $429 to approximately $472. That would mean that the iPhone SE would be $327 less than the base iPhone 15, instead of $370 less.
The claim comes from the leaker @Revegnus1 on Twitter/X, also known as J. Reve ("I dream"). This is the leaker who made the similarly sketchy claim that the Apple Vision Pro 2 could be half the price of the original model.
There is a possibility that @Revegnus1 is a new name for the previous @Revegnus, which had at least a longer reputation for leaks. But there's no proof of that, nor even any claim where the pricing information is said to have originated.

If it delivers what it promises, than that is not a high price to pay.

It'll be a shame to lose the fingerprint sensor which is so much more versatile than face scan
