We saw conflicting rumors about the iPhone SE 4 release last year. Some said the phone could be unveiled very early in 2025, while others claimed Apple might launch it much later, pointing to March.
January came and went without an iPhone SE 4 announcement, but it looks like we won't have to wait too long for Apple to launch the handset. Mark Gurman says Apple plans to unveil the phone next week. The phone will then go on sale later this month.
The release schedule makes sense for a variety of reasons, all of them having to do with Apple's bottom line. While the iPhone maker posted record figures for the December quarter, handset sales dipped by 1%, with China seeing a big 11% drop. Separately, Apple can't sell the more affordable iPhone 14 and 14 Plus in Europe, as the handsets feature Lightning connectors instead of USB-C ports.
Refreshing the iPhone lineup with an affordable mid-range option that rocks high-end specs similar to the base iPhone 16 models, including support for Apple Intelligence, is one way to prop up the current quarter and make up for lost sales. The phone will be available in Europe, as it will feature a USB-C connector.
Also, the iPhone SE 4 could fix Apple's Apple Intelligence fragmentation problems should the company decide to retire the iPhone 14 series alongside the iPhone SE 3.
