The introduction of the A18 chip in the iPhone SE 4 is expected to significantly enhance its battery efficiency. This new chipset, fabricated on TSMCâs advanced 3nm process, is designed to optimize power management, which means it can deliver better performance while consuming less energy compared to its predecessors, such as the A15 Bionic used in the iPhone SE 3[1][3][4].
The iPhone SE 4 will feature a battery capacity of approximately 3,279 mAh, which matches that of the iPhone 14 but is a substantial upgrade over the previous SE model's battery. This increase in capacity, combined with the energy-efficient A18 chip, is projected to yield a notable improvement in overall battery lifeâpotentially around a 20% enhancement compared to earlier models[2][5][8].
Furthermore, the A18 chip's capabilities extend beyond just power efficiency; it supports advanced features like improved machine learning and computational photography, which can also contribute to more efficient resource usage during tasks that require significant processing power[3][4]. The combination of a larger battery and a more efficient processor positions the iPhone SE 4 as a device that not only meets but exceeds user expectations for battery performance in a budget-friendly smartphone.
