iPhone SE 4 might come with a ridiculous amount of base storage

Apple is announcing the oft-rumored iPhone SE 4 on February 19, as revealed yesterday by CEO Tim Cook. The much-anticipated refresh of the company's cheapest smartphone is expected to start at $499, which is $70 more than its predecessor.

And yet, for that amount of cash, you might be getting a measly 64GB of storage, if a new leak that purportedly shows a Chinese retailer listing for the device is accurate.

The iPhone SE 4 will be offered in three storage tiers: 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. In 2025, most Android mid-rangers start at 128GB, but Apple might go another way in order to preserve its profit margins. Not to mention that you could be paying $100 per each storage upgrade, as is the norm with Apple.

In that case, expect the 128GB iPhone SE 4 to be $599, and the 256GB model to go for $699, which is just funny. We've said a lot recently that in markets like North America, Google's upcoming Pixel 9a will compete head-on with the iPhone SE 4, since there aren't a lot of good mid-range options over there, but if this rumor pans out then the Pixel 9a might actually be $100 cheaper when you pick the same amount of storage.

The iPhone SE 4 has been rumored to sport iPhone 14 looks, the A18 chip, 8GB of RAM in all versions, and Face ID.
