Exact timing for the debut of the fourth-generation iPhone SE remains up in the air, with Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reporting in a tweet

If you’ve been refreshing Apple.com this week waiting for the iPhone SE 4 to arrive, you can give your fingers a rest. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the new handset isn’t arriving until next week. But something “smaller” might pop up today.

That said, there is one key area that could pose a significant challenge to flagship Android phones, and even Apple's own iPhone 16 series. What is it? Well, it's the performance that the iPhone SE 4 is expected to deliver, thanks to the Apple A18 chipset.
