According to reports, a new iPhone SE will be launched next year. Apple plans to equip the device with a top feature.
Apple is planning to restructure its iPhone range next year. This is reported by the well-known “Bloomberg” reporter and Apple expert Mark Gurman. According to him, the company wants to bring a new iPhone SE onto the market in the first months of 2025.
According to Gurman, the model will look like an iPhone 14 and have an OLED display that extends across the entire front. The previous model has wide bezels on the top and bottom.
In addition to a different look, the device should also be able to keep up with current smartphones under the hood. According to Gurman, the iPhone SE will even have functions that are only reserved for the company’s top devices: Apple Intelligence.
This is the name for Apple’s AI offensive. Behind it are numerous applications that the company wants to integrate deeply into its devices and which are intended to simplify the lives of users.
Among other things, Apple’s AI will summarize missed emails and text messages, create individual emoji symbols, and filter out information on demand. You can find more information about Apple’s AI features in this article.
According to Gurman, Apple also wants to adapt its other iPhone models. The company wants to introduce a new “smartphone type” as early as next fall. In addition to the standard iPhone model and the iPhone Pro and Pro Max, a significantly thinner and slimmer device is to be launched – similar to the iPad Air.
The company’s idea is to “create a kind of Air version of the iPhone, something that lies between the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro.” Apple wants to appeal to users who want an iPhone but don’t need the performance of a Pro model.
Apple is expected to unveil its new iPhones in September. In previous years, sales of the devices started just a few weeks later.
The iPhone SE has been the affordable entry into Apple’s smartphone world since the first generation in 2016. The current model was introduced two years ago and costs $429 in the lowest configuration.
The device is available in Germany for 529 euros. If Apple can offer the new iPhone SE for a similar price, it could be a best seller, according to Gurman.
The design of the iPhone SE has hardly changed since the second generation was introduced in 2020. Apple based its design on the iPhone 8, which was introduced in 2017.
