It is expected that Apple will announce the new iPhone SE next week, and this can marked a serious shake for the affordable iPhone of the company, adding to a personal identifier and killing a classic home button. We have a pretty good idea of what will happen after several months of leaks and rumors, so that’s all that we expect to see next week.

Everything we think we know about the next iPhone SE
There will be no button home …
The biggest change is that Apple updates the iPhone SE design, leaving it as a whole unchanged from the moment the series was created in 2016. Se 2022 screen. But rumors say that Apple will now abandon the button, draw a frame and add the identifier of the face.
The result will be a phone that looks like an iPhone 14 in front. Like this phone, it is expected that he will place the sensors of the identifier of the face on the recess, and not use the less intrusive dynamic design of the island, which was presented in 14 Pro and has since been used in each iPhone. Apple cannot resist preserving your SE series a little over time.
We saw a cut design in the video shared by the leader of Majin Bu, which shows that they process, which is probably a non -functional fictitious device used by the manufacturers of builders to design and verify their accessories.
… but there will be a button
Bu video suggests that SE 4 will include a tired action button, but not control of the camera presented on the iPhone 16.
Like other SE models, he seems to adhere to one rear chamber. One leaky list of specifications suggests that the SE will use a 48 -megapixel sensor from the back from the 12 -megapixel selfie in front, but this is an area where there are still few reports.
It will not be a small phone
Redesin will allow the SE of 2025 to have a larger screen than the 4.7-inch panel used by the 2022 model. Instead, it is expected that he will use the 6.1-inch display, the same size as the standard iPhone 16, and also update to OLED.
A large screen means that the phone as a whole will be larger than any previous iPhone SE, and there will be no more iPhone less than the standard model. If we assume that the new phone will have similar sizes on the iPhone 16, then it can be 9 mm higher than in 2022, and about 25 g weighing more.
Lightning came out, USB-C is in
To a large extent, for sure that the phone will have a USB-C port, not a zipper, which will allow him to be sold in the EU again. The previous SE model was stopped in the EU markets along with any other iPhone using the Lightning port.
It will be one of the most powerful iPhones around
Inside, Bloomberg reports that the phone will use the same A18 chip as the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro models. This is the same approach that Apple used for its last two SE phones that connected the last silicon with more outdated designs. It is expected that the A18 will be combined with an increase of up to 8 GB of RAM, the minimum necessary for the start of Apple Intelligence, the AI tools that provide the notifications and other functions, and are now included by default. All this will make it more powerful than the iPhone 15 2023.
He will even defeat the iPhone 17 series this year to show the first internal modem Apple 5G, replacing the Qualcomm components that were used in the past. Apple has been developing its own modems for more than half a decade, but Bloomberg It warns that the first iteration is a “decrease” from the modem in the latest flagship iPhone, and will not support MMWAVE 5G, only under-6, although this was true for the last iPhone se.
While previous rumors indicated the launch in March or April, Bloomberg The reports that Apple will announce the phone next week, although it does not expect that he will go on sale until the end of the month. It predicts the price of “approximately $ 500”, higher than the starting price of the 2022 model of $ 429. This can be shifted by the specification by default 128 GB, which means that the market is no longer 64 GB of iPhone.
There is also a chance that it is not eventually called the iPhone Se. Two leaders predict that instead it will be called iPhone 16e, although, since the name SE appears more often, we think that this is still more likely.
If Bloomberg That’s right, we can’t wait long to find out for sure. This year, SE will be the first of the several large IPhone launches, and Apple Old to show the thinner air of the iPhone 17, as well as the “main updates” for the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro.
