The iPhone SE 4 is slated to launch in early 2025, and excitement is high

Apple may be preparing to unveil an M4-based Mac this week, but the company is also investing in its future products, and one of them could be the iPhone SE 4 model. Yes, the affordable version of the iPhone is expected to launch in early 2025 , but now reports suggest a clearer timeline for the company’s iPhone SE 4 announcement. In fact, this could be Apple’s biggest iPhone SE update ever, and its AI features will likely make it to the SE moniker as well.

iPhone SE 4 launch timeline leaked: What we know

A Bloomberg report suggests that Apple may be planning to launch the iPhone SE 4 in the first quarter of 2025, which is between January and March next year. We’ve seen early SE models launch around the same time, so it’s surprising to see reports pointing to this as a possible time for the iPhone SE 4 to launch.

While the iPhone 16 series got everyone excited with support for Apple Intelligence features and a new camera control button, the iPhone SE 2025 is set to be one of Apple’s biggest updates in years.

The new upcoming iPhone SE model is rumored to have a design similar to the iPhone 14, which means buyers can expect more than an update or two.

Apple seems to be switching from LCD to OLED for all of its products, and we’re guessing that includes the yet-to-be-released iPhone SE 2025 model. Recent reports say that Apple wants to start using OLED panels for its models by 2025 with the help of companies such as Samsung, LG and BOE.

The upcoming iPhone SE model is expected to support Apple’s AI features, suggesting that it could run on the A17 Pro or even the A18 chipset. The device can be equipped with a 48 MP main camera, 6 GB of RAM, and support USB C for charging.
