The iPhone 16 series from Apple made its debut last autumn, heavily emphasizing Apple Intelligence. However, another model, the iPhone SE 4, is on its way, bringing many of the same advanced features at a more affordable price. Here’s what we anticipate for the iPhone SE 4 release.
Anticipated Launch of the iPhone SE in March
Multiple sources suggest that Apple is planning to unveil the iPhone SE 4 in the early part of this year.
Specifically, March 2025 appears to be a strong candidate for the launch month.
Apple typically does not release major products in January or February (with the exception of last year’s Vision Pro). Traditionally, products are launched in March or April.
Reporting from the supply chain indicates that March is the most likely timeline for the iPhone SE 4 production.
For context, previous iPhone SE releases took place on the following dates:
- iPhone SE 3: March 18, 2022
- iPhone SE 2: April 24, 2020
- iPhone SE: March 24, 2017
As highlighted, Apple has a history of launching new iPhone SE models in March and April, although the sole April release occurred during the COVID pandemic, which may have caused delays.
Innovative Features of the Upcoming iPhone SE 4
With the arrival of Apple’s new iPhone SE, a significant enhancement over the existing model is expected.
The standout features are as follows:
- Full-screen OLED display without a Home Button, featuring Face ID and a notch
- A18 chip, identical to that in the iPhone 16
- 8GB of RAM
- Support for Apple Intelligence
- 48MP camera comparable to the iPhone 16
- USB-C port
- The first Apple-designed 5G modem
All these features will be available at a significantly lower price compared to the iPhone 16.
The current iPhone SE starts at $429. While Apple may not maintain this starting price for the new SE, expect an increase that will at least upgrade storage options, starting no higher than $499—potentially even lower.
Though it may lack certain premium features from the pricier iPhone 16, the iPhone SE 4 is shaping up to be the ideal choice for the majority of consumers.
