It seems like LCD cellphone screens may quickly be a factor of the previous, no less than on all however probably the most low-end fashions. Android cellphone makers largely moved away from the tech way back, and whereas Apple held out longer on a few of its handsets, a report suggests the ultimate LCD iPhone – the iPhone SE (2022) – may quickly get replaced by an OLED mannequin.
This is in line with Nikkei Asia, which claims that Apple has begun putting orders for OLED shows for the upcoming iPhone SE 4.
OLED shows can ship higher distinction between blacks and whites than LCD ones, and infrequently exhibit extra vibrant colours, so in most methods they’re an improve, which is why so few telephones now use LCD screens.
This could be a fascinating change then, and it’s one we’ve heard of beforehand too, with a number of totally different earlier sources pointing to an OLED show on the iPhone SE 4.
The iPhone SE 4 may land in 2025
But this newest leak doesn’t simply add credence to these claims, it additionally makes us assume the iPhone SE 4 will most likely land subsequent yr, since if Apple has solely simply begun putting panel orders it’s unlikely to be prepared within the subsequent month or two – that means a launch alongside the iPhone 16 on September 9 may be very unlikely. But equally, that will imply the cellphone is in manufacturing, so we shouldn’t be ready past 2025.
A launch in late 2024 may be doable, however we’ve not heard any leaks suggesting that, so our greatest guess is 2025, as we’ve beforehand heard that the iPhone SE 4 may land in 2025. That stated, one other leak recommended the SE 4 wouldn’t launch earlier than 2026, so there’s nonetheless some uncertainty. We can solely hope then that the prolonged look ahead to this cellphone might be over earlier than too lengthy.
In the meantime although, we’re prone to see the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max on Monday, September 9. TechRadar might be protecting the launch in full, so head again right here on Monday for all of the information and bulletins.
