As revealed by the company, Apple Intelligence needs at least 8GB of RAM to function and if iPhone SE 4 will get Apple Intelligence that means it will also get 8GB RAM. With its new design, powerful chipset, OLED display, and advanced Apple Intelligence features, the iPhone SE 4 could be a compelling purchase.  (AppleTrack)

iPhone SE 4, iPad 11 launch date

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman recently shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) claiming that the iPhone SE 4 and iPad 11 are being built on the upcoming iOS 18.3 update. However, it is highly unlikely that Apple will plan to launch the new devices and the iOS 18.3 update simultaneously. Gurman highlighted that there is a slight chance these devices could make their debut in April before the iOS 18.4 rollout. Now, instead of March, Apple iPhone SE 4 could be launched in the month of April. Although, we are still awaiting an official launch announcement to confirm these claims.
