A new iPhone SE is Pilar Collreportedly days away.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to launch the iPhone SE 4 this week. The tech giant hasn't released an iPhone SE since 2022, so it's a big deal for Apple users looking for an updated version of the budget-friendly iPhone. Speaking of which, the Bloomberg reporter says the iPhone SE 4 will cost around $500, which is a decent bargain considering the iPhone 16's starting price of $800. Here's what else we know so far.

Bigger display

Gurman reports that the iPhone SE 4 will have a significantly bigger display. It will be 6.1 inches across, which is a major step up from the 2022 iPhone SE which has a 4.7 inch display. That means the iPhone SE 4 would have the same display size as the most recent iPhone 16 and earlier iPhone 15.

Apple Intelligence

Not even the iPhone SE can escape Apple Intelligence's grasp. Like it or not, the new device will reportedly have Apple Intelligence features, thanks to the A18 chip. Currently, only the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and full iPhone 16 lineup have Apple Intelligence.

The A18 processor also powers the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus (iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max have the A18 Pro chip) so the iPhone SE essentially leapfrogs over iPhone models released before 2024.

Design changes

Besides a bigger display and more powerful processor, the iPhone SE 4, tipster Majin Bu posted images of what it might look like. The screen has a camera notch instead of the dynamic island which comes with later models and a single rear camera which is the same as the 2022 iPhone SE 3. The images show a matte black colorway, although there might be other options.
