The iPhone SE series, first launched in 2015, is known for offering flagship-level performance at a more affordable price. With rising smartphone costs, consumer demand for budget-friendly options is at an all-time high. A recent survey by Optimum found that more than half of Americans prioritize price when choosing a mobile device, making the potential SE 4 launch particularly relevant.
Is the iPhone SE 4 Coming Today?
While Apple has yet to confirm the specifics, tech insiders suggest that if the SE 4 is revealed, it will be the first refresh since 2022. Reports from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman indicate that the new SE model may resemble the iPhone 14, featuring a larger display, Face ID, and Apple’s latest A18 chip, the same one powering the iPhone 16. Additionally, it could introduce Apple Intelligence, a suite of AI-powered features.
What Else Could Apple Announce?
In addition to the rumored iPhone SE 4, industry experts predict that Apple’s announcement may include:
A new M4 MacBook Air
An updated M3 iPad Air
The 11th-generation base model iPad
