For the iPhone SE 4, a 48 MP camera and OLED display could definitely be on the table

Multiple leaks and rumors have already given us a solid idea of what Apple's upcoming budget iPhone SE 4 might bring to the table. A fresh leak has now surfaced, not only reinforcing earlier claims but also offering new details about the phone's production.

Apple might keep its price low by reusing parts from older iPhones

A recent report (translated source) reveals that LG Innoteck and LG Display are supplying the cameras and displays for the upcoming iPhone SE 4. LG Innoteck will provide both the front and rear camera modules for the SE 4, marking a shift from the previous iPhone SE 3, for which it only supplied the rear camera module.

LG Innotek has reportedly started mass production of camera modules for the iPhone SE 4 at its plant in Vietnam. According to the report, the front camera will feature a 12-megapixel sensor, which aligns with the front camera of the iPhone 16. Although it's unclear if it will be a TrueDepth camera, there's speculation that the iPhone SE 4 could adopt Face ID instead of Touch ID.

On the back, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to house a 48 MP camera, aligning with earlier leaks. What's particularly interesting here, in my opinion, is that the report suggests that given the lower price point of the iPhone SE range, Apple is using existing components for the SE 4's cameras. This could mean that if Apple has found a way to optimize its supply chain more efficiently, we might not see a price hike after all, or at least not a big one. However, whether this will be the case remains to be seen in the coming months.
