Apple’s New iPhone SE: Leaked Images Reveal Upcoming Device

Apple is gearing up to launch its latest iPhone SE, with reports suggesting it will either be named the iPhone SE (4th generation) or iPhone SE (2025). However, Apple is expected to simply refer to it as the iPhone SE.

Possible Unveiling This Week

The official announcement of the new iPhone SE could happen as early as this week, without a dedicated event. Thanks to numerous leaks and newly surfaced images from case manufacturer Spigen, there are now clearer indications of the device’s design and features. The leaks suggest that the iPhone SE 4 will feature a notch and a single rear camera, aligning with Apple’s signature minimalist aesthetic.

Familiar Design with Upgraded Technology

The button layout remains consistent with Apple’s usual design language, but there is speculation that the Alert Slider might be replaced by a button, though this is not entirely clear from the images. The display is expected to feature a notch and house a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen, similar to the iPhone 14. Face ID sensors also appear to be integrated into the notch, marking a shift from previous SE models that relied on Touch ID.

Performance and Key Features

Under the hood, the iPhone SE (4th generation) is expected to be powered by the new Apple A18 chip, accompanied by 8GB of RAM. This setup could enable support for Apple Intelligence, Apple’s suite of AI-driven features. The device is also rumored to come equipped with a 48 MP rear camera and Apple’s first in-house mobile modem, which could reduce its reliance on Qualcomm. Additionally, a USB-C port is expected, aligning the SE with Apple’s latest connectivity standards. The starting price is anticipated to be around $499.

Meanwhile, speculation about Apple’s entry into the foldable phone market is growing. Reports indicate that the company is targeting 2026 for the launch of its first foldable device.
