iPhone SE 4 With Apple Intelligence Likely to Arrive Early Next Year: Report

The iPhone 16 series has barely hit the market, and already rumours have started buzzing the internet about the arrival of the next-gen SE series model -- the iPhone SE 4.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple could announce the iPhone SE 4 in "early next year." While the exact timeline hasn't been revealed yet, Apple could follow the same as the iPhone SE 2022, which made its debut in March 2022.

iPhone SE 4: What to Expect?

The upcoming iPhone SE 4 is codenamed V59 and is expected to compete with low-end Android phones, especially in China. The next-gen SE model is anticipated to borrow design language from the iPhone 14. This means there won't be a home button as the current SE model which resembles the iPhone 8 and could be the last model to feature a home button.

In opposed, the iPhone SE 4 will retain the notch cutout at the top like the iPhone 14. The new SE phone is also expected to support Apple Intelligence like the iPhone 16 series models and the Pro models of last year's iPhone 15.

Moreover, the iPhone SE 4 is rumoured to feature an OLED display, A18 processor and 8GB of RAM at minimum. It is also expected to be priced under $500 (around Rs 41,000), making it an affordable option to ship with Apple Intelligence.

Since all are speculations, we suggest our readers take this with a pinch of salt. In addition to the iPhone SE 4, Apple could also bring the new iPad Air models - codenamed J607 and J637, respectively.

Apple will likely focus on internal improvements and will announce an updated version of its Magic Keyboard accessory, codenamed R307 and R308, for both the 11-inch and 13-inch versions of the new Air, said Gurman. Even the tech giant is also expected to refresh the Mac computer lineup with the M4 processor and Apple Intelligence features.
