The front camera module of the iPhone SE 4 is reportedly set to go into mass production in December, with LG Innotek said to be conducting final tests. This progress in manufacturing hints the upcoming Apple phone could be released in March 2025.

While it was hoped Apple would introduce a new addition to the affordable iPhone SE lineup this year, recent reports have suggested otherwise. As Ming-Chi Kuo, a credible industry analyst, recently shared, the SE 4 is set to got into mass production in December, with the launch possibly planned for early 2025.

Now, X tipster @Jukanlosreve shared that LG Innotek is conducting the final tests of the camera module that the upcoming iPhone SE 4 will feature. The company is said to be gearing up to start mass production of the module in December, which matches the timeline shared by Ming-Chi Kuo.

@Jukanlosreve highlights that LG Innotek generally delivers camera modules around three months before a phone's release, suggesting that the iPhone SE 4 will likely launch in March 2025. This isn't the first time the upcoming affordable Apple phone is tipped for early 2025 release.

The same X tipster previously shared a possible spec sheet of the iPhone SE 4, which also mentioned a March 2025 launch. Getting back to the LG Innotek's camera module, it's thought to be the selfie unit, as the upcoming phone is expected to feature a 48 MP Sony IMX904 sensor on the back.

Other than that, the SE 4 is rumored to feature the Apple 18 SoC, 8 GB of RAM, an in-house modem, and a notched 6.06-inch display. Reportedly, the starting price will be $499, which would be $70 higher than the SE 3 (128 GB WiFi M2 iPad Air curr. $549 on Amazon).
