Apple has allegedly restarted development of a fourth generation iPhone SE, according to TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The new model is said to feature a 6.1-inch OLED display and Apple's long awaited in-house 5G modem.

My latest survey indicates that Apple has recently restarted the iPhone SE 4, which will feature an OLED display instead of an LCD, as the biggest change. Overall, the SE 4 is a minor modification of the 6.1-inch iPhone 14. The new iPhone SE 4 will equip with Apple's 5G baseband chip produced by a 4nm process (similar to 5nm) and will only support Sub-6GHz as the current plan.

Kuo notes that it's still unclear if Apple will use its own 5G modem for the iPhone 16 as there are technical obstacles related to mmWave and satellite communications.

However, once the iPhone SE 4 begins using Apple's in-house 5G baseband chip, it's just a matter of time before the company stops order modems from Qualcomm.
