Apple’s fourth-generation iPhone SE will hit shelves in early 2025 and will boast an OLED display and Apple Intelligence support, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Gurman’s comments came Sunday in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter.
Gurman says the iPhone SE 4 will hit shelves as early as “the beginning of 2025.” The update will be the first the iPhone SE has had since 2022.
Gurman reiterates rumors that the chassis will be modeled on the iPhone 14 and that the device will sport an OLED display.
The report also claims that the iPhone SE 4 will include support for Apple Intelligence functionality. If the fourth-gen iPhone SE ends up costing less than $500 (as has been rumored), the new handset could be a lower-cost way to access the upcoming nw Apple Intelligence features in iOS 18.
In July, serial leaker “Ice Universe” said in a Weibo post that the iPhone SE 4 is expected to feature a USB-C port and Face ID, replacing the Touch ID Home button and the Lightning port the current iPhone SE is equipped with.
The leaker said the fourth-generation iPhone SE’s display is rumored to considerably increase from the current 4.7 inches to 6.06 inches, and will also feature an OLED display panel for the first time. The new iPhone SE4 is also expected to be powered by the same A18 chip as the iPhone 16 lineup. The handset is expected to include 6GB to 8GB of LPDDR5 memory, an aluminum chassis, and a single rear 48-megapixel camera.
