Dibyarup Aich, a tech student and enthusiast, shared insights with True To Life about his experience with the iPhone SE 2 and his expectations for the upcoming device.
User Perspectives: Battery and Display Considerations
Aich emphasized the need for an enhanced battery, suggesting a capacity of at least 2800 to 3000 mAh to bolster the overall user experience. Acknowledging the sufficiency of the A13 Bionic chip, he expressed a preference for battery improvements over an increased refresh rate, highlighting the significance of prolonged battery life for users.
Evolution of Refresh Rates: From 60Hz to 120Hz
In recent models like the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15, Apple introduced higher refresh rates, moving from the traditional 60Hz to 90Hz and 120Hz. A higher refresh rate contributes to smoother animations and interactions on the display, catering to users seeking a more responsive experience, especially in gaming scenarios.
Battery Leak Insights: Potential Upgrade to 3279mAh
A leaked battery specification from MacRumors suggests a substantial upgrade for the iPhone SE 4, with a battery capacity of 3279mAh, comparable to the iPhone 14. This marks a significant improvement from the iPhone SE 3’s 1261mAh battery, promising extended usage without compromising the device’s compact form factor.
Display Dynamics: OLED from BOE and Notch Design
The iPhone SE 4 is rumored to feature an OLED display sourced from BOE, signaling a shift to more vibrant and power-efficient screen technology. Despite the farewell to notch designs in the iPhone 15 series, the iPhone SE 4 may retain the notch, embracing familiarity for users while offering modernized specifications.
Modernization in Ports: Action Button and USB-C
In alignment with EU common charger regulations, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to incorporate a USB-C port and an Action Button, adhering to contemporary standards. The inclusion of a USB-C port introduces compatibility with various devices, streamlining charging and data transfer processes.
USB Technology Differentiation: A Pro Feature for Fast Charging
With the iPhone 15 lineup introducing Type-C USB ports, a distinction emerges between the non-Pro and Pro models. While USB 2.0 technology is provided for non-Pro models, the Pro variants enjoy the benefits of USB 3.0, enabling fast charging capabilities. Apple’s Thunderbolt 4 Pro cable, priced at 12900 INR, caters specifically to those seeking expedited charging experiences.
Dynamic Island: A Progressive Step in Design
Surprisingly, the rumored inclusion of the Action Button and USB-C port aligns the iPhone SE 4 with contemporary design standards. The implementation of the Dynamic Island, previously a feature exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro models, signifies Apple’s strategy of integrating advanced features from Pro models into the succeeding non-Pro models.
Rumors vs. Reality: Anticipating the Unveiling
While the iPhone SE 4’s specifications are surrounded by rumors, the dynamic nature of pre-production information suggests potential alterations. As the release date approaches, users eagerly await the official unveiling, eager to explore the actualized features of Apple’s upcoming budget-friendly smartphone.
