A new rumor claims Apple will bring the A18 chip to the iPhone SE 4, opening 
the door to Apple Intelligence compatibility.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Apple Intelligence promises to usher in a new era of artificial intelligence 
tools and features for iPhone users, but we know that not all of the best 
iPhones will get it, with even the current iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus set 
to miss out. But that might all change with the next generation of iPhones, 
with even the most affordable Apple handsets apparently in line for an Apple 
Intelligence upgrade. 

According to leaker Ice Universe (via 9to5Mac ), the upcoming iPhone SE 4  
which is due a major overhaul and is expected to arrive some time in 2025  
will be packing an Apple A18 chip and potentially either 6GB or 8GB of 
memory. That would be a major upgrade over the specs of the current iPhone SE 
.. 

Why is that so significant? Well, having the A18 chip would put the iPhone SE 
on a level with the iPhone 16 . We know that the entire iPhone 16 series is 
due to be outfitted with Apple Intelligence smarts thanks to this chip, so if 
its in the iPhone SE, that suggests that even Apples most affordable iPhone 
will get a sizable AI boost. 

In other words, if you want a tool that can generate images, rewrite emails, 
summarize notifications and a whole lot more  as well as the revamped Siri 
and ChatGPT tie-in that's coming as part of the package  you won't have to 
shell out on an expensive device like the iPhone 16 Pro Max . Instead, youll 
be able to get them for the lower price commanded by the iPhone SE 4. Apple

The iPhone SE 4 is expected to be a major overhaul of Apples entry-level 
phone. The current model still retains the home button and thick bezels that 
Apple mostly gave up years ago, but all that is said to be going out the 
window, with the iPhone SE finally set to adopt the all-screen design Apple 
has been using since the iPhone X. 

As well as that, other rumors have claimed the iPhone SE 4 will get Face ID, 
a USB-C port, and perhaps even an Action button. With Apple Intelligence on 
board too, there wont be much to separate it from the entry-level iPhone 16, 
other than a less-advanced camera system and a few other details. 

That might fuel speculation that this latest rumor  that the iPhone SE 4 will 
get the A18 chip  is a little too optimistic. But Apple has historically 
given its iPhone SE models the same chip as the latest iPhones, so we cant 
rule it out entirely  and given how keen the company is to promote Apple 
Intelligence, it makes sense to ensure that every new phone it sells comes 
with the feature. 

That also raises the question of whether Apple will bring Apple Intelligence 
to its entire iPad lineup as well. Only time will tell on that point, but it 
certainly seems plausible  and with the AI feature seemingly on its way to 
the iPhone SE 4, it might not be long until we see Apple Intelligence present 
across Apples entire device roster. You might also like iPhone SE 4: latest
