Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that a new product launch is set for Feb. 19, sparking speculation about what’s coming. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, this announcement is expected to introduce the next-generation iPhone SE, potentially called the iPhone SE 4. The upcoming model is said to bring major design and hardware upgrades over its predecessor.
iPhone SE 4: What to expect?
The iPhone SE 4 is expected to adopt the iPhone 14’s design, marking a significant departure from the previous SE models. It will feature a 6.1-inch OLED Super Retina XDR display, a notched front panel, and the removal of the bottom bezel.
The shift to this design also means the phone will include Face ID for the first time, replacing the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. Additionally, it is rumoured to introduce a USB-C port, aligning with EU regulations.
Under the hood, the iPhone SE 4 is said to be powered by the A18 chip, the same processor used in the iPhone 16 series, paired with 8GB of RAM. This enables support for Apple Intelligence, bringing AI-powered features like enhanced Siri interactions, smarter text suggestions, and advanced photo editing. Reports suggest Apple will also equip the device with its in-house 5G modem instead of relying on Qualcomm.
The new SE model is likely to include a 48-megapixel main camera, a significant upgrade from the previous 12-megapixel sensor, while the front camera is expected to be a 12-megapixel shooter. Unlike flagship iPhones, it will not feature an ultra-wide lens.
The iPhone SE 4 is expected to be priced at $499, putting it in direct competition with Google’s upcoming Pixel 9a, which is expected to launch a month later. Apple aims to target budget-conscious consumers, particularly in markets like the US, Canada, China, and India. The Feb. 19 launch even may also see the arrival of other products, such as the M4 MacBook Air, M3 iPad Air, and iPad 11.
