Apple iPhone SE 4 is reported to be officially released around March next year, and the new machine may bring a major upgrade to SE series. The new machine will adopt Liu Haiping design, introduce Face ID and cancel the Home button with Touch ID, but there is no smart island function. According to gourmain, Apple has designed a new modem code-named Sinope, which is seamlessly integrated with other components of its own. This design not only saves space, but also reduces power consumption. Compared with the Qualcomm modem currently used by Apple, Sinope still has a big gap, and the performance of related chips is inferior to that of Qualcomm.
