Apple is anticipated to reveal the iPhone SE 4 "in the near future."

      The 2022 iteration of the iPhone SE.

      Apple is expected to announce the long-anticipated iPhone SE 4 "in the coming days," as stated by well-known Apple insider Mark Gurman. In a Thursday article for Bloomberg, Gurman reported that "the company anticipates the device could be announced as early as next week, with its sale beginning later this month." He mentioned that according to sources familiar with the situation, it's unlikely that there will be a launch event for the new SE phone, which is receiving its first update in three years. Instead, we should anticipate a press release, a video on Apple's YouTube channel, and a series of news articles.

      Gurman pointed out that inventory for the current iPhone SE has diminished at many Apple retail locations, indicating that the new phone's launch is imminent. Pricing details remain undisclosed, but the present version of Apple's most affordable phone retails for $429. There have been rumors that the new SE may be priced slightly higher, possibly around $499, which would make it $300 cheaper than the standard iPhone 16.

      The iPhone SE 4 will be the first in its series to feature a full display, likely measuring 6.1 inches, an increase from the 4.7-inch display found in the 2022 model. Additionally, TouchID is expected to be replaced by FaceID. Other modifications will include a switch to USB-C instead of the Lightning connector.

      Importantly, the new phone is anticipated to feature a more powerful chip — the A18 — allowing users access to some Apple Intelligence capabilities. Furthermore, enhancements to the camera and battery life are expected, making it a compelling option for those desiring an iPhone without a hefty price tag.

      We are on the verge of Apple revealing the iPhone SE 4. Later this year, the iPhone 17 will also debut, which is expected to include an "iPhone Air" for the first time. There are also rumors regarding a potentially more significant new iPhone that have recently emerged. According to a source associated with Apple’s supply chain, the company is nearing the selection of a key supplier for its next-generation foldable display technology. This new display technology is slated to be used in Apple's first foldable iPhone, which is projected to launch in the coming years. This information was shared by the Naver blog account "yeux1122" (via MacRumors).

      While the main focus tends to be on Apple’s flagship iPhones, the iPhone SE is an excellent option for budget-conscious consumers. If you're looking for an iPhone that won't strain your wallet, the SE is the ideal choice. The original iPhone SE was launched in 2016, followed by updates in 2020 and 2022 that included more contemporary hardware. The iPhone SE typically receives upgrades every couple of years, rather than annually as with the standard iPhone, suggesting we might see a new iPhone SE 4 in 2025.

      The situation around the iPhone SE 4 is getting absurd. The ongoing debate about whether the upcoming Apple iPhone SE 4 will feature a notch at the top of its screen or adopt the Dynamic Island design introduced with the Apple iPhone 14 series has become so tiresome that I no longer want to discuss it until the phone is officially unveiled.

      Can we settle this or not? What has pushed me to my limit? It’s the constant back-and-forth. One day a report asserts the phone will have a notch, while the next day another report claims it will feature Dynamic Island. It wouldn’t be as frustrating if it were just a couple of reports spaced out over weeks or months, but instead, there are multiple updates surfacing within days and over an extended period.
