It now looks passing potential that the next version of the iPhone SE will set in motion in March 2025 , after an psychoanalyst report claimed to confirm that timeframe in the beginning this week .
In a research note ( viaMacRumors ) , Barclays psychoanalyst Tom O’Malley and colleagues limn the findings from a recent tripper to supply chains in Asia . One takeaway , the psychoanalyst state , is that they have “ confirmed ” that the 4th - gen iPhone SE is presently schedule for launching towards the end of the first quarter of next class . That almost surely means March , which incidentally is when the 3rd - gen SE arrived back in 2022 .
All three SE models released so far , indeed , have add up out in the spring : March 2016 for the 1st - gen SE March 2022 for the 3rd - gen model , and April 2020 for the 2nd - gen SE . A three - year time lag between model is strange but not unprecedented , as there was afour - yr wait between the first and 2d iPhone SE releases .
Aside from the launch timeframe , the banknote reiterated thecurrent theorythat the 4th - gen SE will be the first iPhone to boast an Apple - made 5 grand modem . This is patently a key stone’s throw ahead for Apple , as it accommodate the electric potential for substantial cost savings ; but it could also mean dramatically increased battery efficiency for customers .
It might seem surprising that Apple would bestow such a potentially beneficial feature on the budget - focused SE a near six months before it lands on the flagship iPhones , but it does now look like it ’s go to chance . The inclusion body of the newfangled modem , plus the 48MP main camera from the iPhone 15 , 8 GB of RAM , the A18 processor , and Apple Intelligence support have in mind this is form up to be an iPhone SEthat ’s really limited .
