iPhone SE 4 hinted for a 2025 release and Apple Intelligence support — here’s what we know

iPhone fans looking for a new, cheaper, iPhone could be in luck as there are indications the fourth generation iPhone SE could release in early 2025. 

In his recent Power On newsletter, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman stated that Apple plans to release the iPhone SE 4 as early as the beginning of 2025, the first new model since the iPhone SE 3 released in 2022. According to Gurman, the new model will resemble the iPhone 14, however, it will include a crisper OLED display that stretches across the full device. While we don’t know how much it will cost, if Apple can keep it below $500 the iPhone SE 4 could be one of the best cheap phones on the market.

Gurman also goes on to state that the iPhone SE (2025) will more than likely have some form of Apple Intelligence included. This would be a big selling point considering the majority of iPhones can’t run Apple’s new AI. This would suggest that the iPhone SE 4 would have at least 8Gb of RAM and the same A17 chip we saw in the iPhone 15.  

There are currently plenty of rumors circulating about how iPhone SE 4 will improve upon the iPhone SE 3. For instance, there are indications the new version will come with a 48 MP main camera, which would be a considerable upgrade over the SE 3’s 12 MP one. We’ve also heard the iPhone SE 4 will swap to a USB-C port over the Lightning connector, and could feature the same solid-state Action button as the iPhone 15 Pro.
