The iPhone SEs are still very special models, since they allow Apple fans to have a recent iPhone, with certain premium features, at the price of a mid-range product. The last iPhone SE, the iPhone SE 3, was released in 2022 and currently, many rumors are already circulating about the iPhone SE 4. A priori, this new iPhone SE will not be released this year.
However, according to a recent article from MacRumors, which relays a publication by Ice Universe on the Chinese social network Weibo, the next mid-range iPhone could arrive between March and May 2025 and be offered at a price between 499 dollars and 549 dollars in the United States. In the meantime, the rumors already give us an idea of the arguments that could be put forward by Apple to convince us to buy this iPhone.
1 – The end of the iPhone 8 style design
The particularity of the last two iPhone SEs was their design. Indeed, while the other iPhones have a borderless screen and a FaceID sensor for facial recognition, the iPhone SE of 2020 and 2022 still took the design of the iPhone 8. But the good news, s that the next iPhone SE should have a more modern design, with a borderless OLED type screen, and a FaceID scanner instead of the fingerprint scanner.
The MacRumors article also indicates that the iPhone SE 4 screen could be wider, with a diagonal of 6.06 inches, and that it should have a USB port -C instead of Lightning.

In June, Apple introduced Apple Intelligence, its new set of features based on generative AI, which will be available starting this fall. Unfortunately, these features only come to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, due to hardware constraints. But today, we have reason to hope that the future iPhone SE 4 could be compatible with Apple's new AI features.
Indeed, according to the source relayed by MacRumors, the iPhone SE 4 could have an A18 processor, like the iPhone 16, and RAM memory of 6 GB to 8 GB. If Apple equips the iPhone SE 4 with 8 GB of RAM, this This should be powerful enough to run Apple Intelligence.
3 – A decent camera
Generally, to reduce manufacturing costs, Apple makes concessions in terms of the iPhone SE camera. As for the iPhone SE 4, it would make do with a single photo sensor on the back. However, this single sensor would have a resolution of 48 megapixels, which should still allow you to take good photos. As a reminder, one of the main advantages of a high resolution is that it allows adjacent pixels to be combined to improve device performance when light is low.
< p>Obviously, for the moment, these are only rumors and therefore caution is still required. But if Apple comes up with an affordable iPhone that has a modern design, offers access to Apple Intelligence, and delivers good camera performance, the company could tempt a lot of Android users to switch sides.
- Apple is reportedly planning to release a new iPhone SE between March and May 2024
- The company is reportedly planning to offer a more modern design, instead of taking the design of the iPhone 8
- Apple could also make this affordable iPhone compatible with Apple Intelligence
- And it could put a single 48-megapixel sensor on the back
