The iPhone SE 4 has been in the news for quite some time now. While we await official confirmation about its existence, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has claimed that Apple is preparing to launch the iPhone SE 4 in early 2025. The iPhone SE 4 will reportedly not have a home button and will use Face ID instead. It is expected to have Apple Intelligence features.
iPhone SE 4 specifications, price (expected)
The iPhone SE 4 is expected to feature a single 48-megapixel rear camera. It is likely to get a 6.06-inch panel with a 60Hz refresh rate. It could run on Apple’s A18 chipset with 6GB and 8GB LPDDR5 RAM options.
In terms of performance, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to feature the A18 chip, which is the processor used in the recently launched iPhone 16 series. Also, Apple is rumoured to ditch the Touch ID sensor in favour of Face ID, signalling the end of the physical home button on iPhones.
It is said to be priced between $499 (roughly Rs. 42,000) and $549 (roughly Rs. 46,000). The iPhone SE (2022) was launched at a starting price of $429 (roughly Rs. 35,000) for the base 64GB model.
Apple to launch new iPhone SE, iPad Air in early 2025
In a new Bloomberg report, Mark Gurman cites internal sources to say that Apple is about to produce an updated iPhone SE – codenamed V59. The company is also looking at creating new iPad Air models and keyboards for release around the same time.
According to the report, Apple will move away from its old home button design, moving to an edge-to-edge screen with the latest iPhone SE 4. The phone is said to use Face ID and support Apple Intelligence, a set of AI tools that will soon be available in the iPhone 16 and high-end iPhone 15 models.
Along with the iPhone SE 4, Apple is also expected to introduce the next-generation iPad mini and iPad Air models in early 2025. Like the current iPad Air lineup, the upcoming variants will come in two size codes, named J607 and J637, which the M3/M4 chip will likely power. Apart from this, Apple may also refresh the iPad mini with an M series chip with Apple intelligence.
