- Bloomberg reports that Apple could announce a new iPhone SE from next week
- The rumor that the fourth generation would abandon the host button
- It should be a big upgrade with a new design and a processor jump
According to rumors, Apple will work on a new generation iPhone se For a while. We expect the fourth generation and more affordable iPhone to arrive in 2025, potentially in the spring, around March or April.
However, A new report by Mark Gurman from Bloomberg Note that Apple could announce the smartphone from next week. He writes, “The company plans to announce the device next week, before its sale later in the month.” This alludes to a fairly imminent arrival, but which will probably not arouse the occasion of an Apple special event. It would be more likely to be launched in a case similar to the iPad Mini at the end of last year via a press release.
The iPhone has long been part of the Apple iPhone range, arriving for the first time in 2016 and updates for the latest generation in 2022. Currently, it most like that of an iPhone 8 and is the only smartphone from Apple’s family that always offers a button house with touchdown. However, this next generation of the iPhone is should be a big leap in terms of appearance and the material that propels it.
It is reported that the fourth generation iPhone will look like that of the iPhone 14, with a larger and closer screen design that abandons the home button and has a notch containing an identifier of face. This means that you would be able to unlock the iPhone with just a look, and the same goes for purchasing authentication or the use of Apple Pay.
Gurman’s latest report notes that the device is called “V59” and will be the first Apple product to present an internal designed modem. This would mean abandoning another Qualcomm component for Apple, and silicon would also be made by the technology giant, this report noting that it would be the A18 chip.
It is the same processor inside the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, which should make it very fast and, perhaps even more important, is the fact that it could manage the Apple Intelligence. This means that you could use “writing tools”, “create a genmoji, use the image of image games and even delete boring background objects or photo people with” clean “. This would also make a fairly long shelf life fit, which has become a need for the iPhone SE because it is generally updated only every few years.
In addition to removing the home button, the fourth generation iPhone will probably make the way to USB-C. Although it is always available in the United States, she has been removed from the shelves and interrupted in the EU, in part in order to comply with the Port Rules. Upon his arrival, Gurman thinks that it will be roughly the same price of the current model. Currently, the third generation iPhone SE is starting at $ 429 / £ 419 / $ 719 at and it is a competitive price for the iPhone range, especially since the iPhone 16 starts at $ 899. Some other reports have shown that the price could be a little higher, however.
Regarding the arrival next week, this would start the beginnings on Apple products in 2025. According to rumors, it will arrive next week, as Bloomberg reported, and the highly anticipated PowerBeats Pro 2 of Beats . Gurman Also note that a MacBook Air with the M4 chip, a new entry -level iPad and a new iPad Air should arrive in the first half of 2025.
Of course, as with all Apple rumors, nothing is official until the technology giant says it, so we will see what next week brings. In the meantime, we can look at the cute Apple expressive robot prototype.
