The last time Apple released an iPhone SE was in 2022. But the good news is that everything suggests that the company will launch a new version of its affordable iPhone next year. And today, this is becoming clearer. In an article published this week, our colleagues at MacRumors indicate that, recently, Barclays analysts have corroborated rumors indicating that the iPhone SE 2025 will be released towards the end of the first quarter. Previous rumors had already mentioned a release in March.
iPhone SE 2024 could use an Apple 5G chip (instead of Qualcomm chips)
In any case, it will be a very important launch for Apple since, for the first time, it should offer an iPhone SE with a modern design, instead of being inspired by the design of the iPhone 8. According to rumors, the iPhone SE 2024 should have a 6.1-inch OLED screen, with a borderless style, and a Face ID sensor on the front. Otherwise, this model could also mark the start of a new era for Apple, since, according to sources, the iPhone SE 2025 could be the first iPhone to use a 5G modem designed by the brand, instead of those from Qualcomm .
At the moment, it is unclear what the connectivity or performance benefits of this component might be. But in any case, using its own modem will allow Apple to reduce its dependence on Qualcomm.
The iPhone that will democratize Apple Intelligence?
Otherwise, the iPhone SE 2025 should also have 8 GB memory and a recent chip which would allow it to be compatible with Apple Intelligence. Moreover, this could be one of the main selling points of the Cupertino company.
As for the camera, it is rumored that the iPhone SE 2025 could have a single 48-megapixel sensor on the back.
- Rumors have been circulating for a while about the iPhone SE 4, which would be released in 2025
- And it’s increasingly likely that this new affordable iPhone will arrive in March
- This could be compatible with Apple Intelligence and be the first iPhone to use a 5G modem designed by Apple instead of Qualcomm modems
