Apple has been planning this smartphone for quite some time and will soon be released worldwide. This will be a low-cost model which will target customers with tight budgets.
According to reports the phone might be announced as early as next week and the sale might go on next month. Apple will not hold any launch event instead it will revealed through the Apple website. The release will represent a significant change for a frequently disregarded smartphone that Apple initially released as an entry-level model in 2016. The current model, which was first introduced in 2022, is outdated since it is the only iPhone without Face ID and still has a home button. The company’s AI software, Apple Intelligence, will be included in the updated version, which will resemble the iPhone 14 more.
Employees at several Apple retail locations report that stock has been running low for weeks and that buyers who wish to purchase the gadget in certain configurations occasionally have to be turned away.
Although the phone is still for sale on Apple’s website, some models, such as the red model with 256 gigabytes of storage, won’t be sent until March. Additionally, the supply of the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus is becoming limited.
The standard iPhone 16 costs $799, while the new SE 4 costs $429, which is hundreds cheaper. Apple may raise that pricing in light of the upgraded SE 4 model’s new features and look.
Apple has already discontinued the SE and iPhone 14 in the European Union because they don’t have USB Type C. In 2023 the iPhone adopted Type C and ditched the lightning port and the new SE will also have Type C.
In international areas where Apple is attempting to expand, such as China, India, and other regions of Asia, a new iPhone SE would be particularly alluring. Even while it will probably continue to be more costly, the combination of premium features and a price point of about $500 might make it an alluring substitute for regional brands. Last quarter, Apple’s sales in China dropped 11%, although they increased in other emerging regions. Apple sales have declined and the new Apple SE 2025 will help restore growth. The Asian market will help Apple a lot, especially in countries like India.
The new gadget, code-named V59, will also be the first from Apple to employ an internal cellular modem instead of a Qualcomm component. In addition to a faster A18 processor that will feature Apple Intelligence, it will include a bigger screen with Face ID. Apple will have completely phased away the iconic interface, which debuted on the original iPhone in 2007, with the elimination of the home button from the iPhone SE.
This year, Apple intends to reorganize the iPhone portfolio more broadly. As part of the industry push to thinner handsets, the next iPhone 17 and 17 Pro models will receive significant improvements and a new ultrathin variant.
The new PowerBeats Pro 2 earphones will be unveiled around the same time as the iPhone SE. According to Bloomberg News, its introduction is anticipated to occur as early as February 11. These will be the first Apple-branded earphones with an integrated heart rate monitor. In the end, the business hopes to include that feature in AirPods.
There will soon be other non-iPhone items as well. In the first half of 2025, Apple intends to release new low-end iPads, upgraded iPad Air variants, and a MacBook Air with a faster M4 CPU. At Apple retail locations, the current iPad Air and MacBook Air inventory has been running low.
Design (Expected)
This phone’s design may resemble that of the iPhone 14, which implies that its screen will be larger than that of the SE model. According to reports, it will include a 6.1-inch OLED screen, which will be a significant improvement over the LCD screens found in previous SE versions.
It’s also anticipated that Apple will alter the phone’s front. The iPhone SE 2025 may include a Face ID instead of a home button. Compared to the earlier SE models, this would be a significant improvement.
Camera and Other Features
There are rumors that the iPhone SE 2025 will include a 48MP rear-facing camera. Given that the previous SE model only featured a 12MP camera, this would be a significant upgrade. Even in low light, a better camera produces better images. A 12MP front camera is anticipated, which would let users record video calls and capture quality selfies.
Probably powered by Apple’s A18 CPU, the phone will be quick and fluid. Additionally, it can include 6GB of RAM, which would improve the performance of programs. The USB-C charging connector, rather than Apple’s Lightning port, might be another significant shift.
