Apple’s funds cellphone providing is lastly going to appear like a contemporary smartphone beginning subsequent yr, Bloomberg’s Apple insider Mark Gurman studies in his publication Energy On. The final iteration of the iPhone SE launched in 2022, wanting precisely like 2017’s iPhone 8. So I’d wager this improve has been a very long time coming for most individuals.
Now, I don’t thoughts how the present iPhone SE seems to be. I believe the design is kind of charming, and there’s in all probability some people on the market who would agree with me on that. However it’s fairly an outdated cellphone in my view. I imply, 4 GB of RAM and a 4.7 inch LCD show that isn’t even full HD? Fortunately, Gurman studies that the brand new iPhone SE will sport the look of the far more fashionable iPhone 14.
It’s slated to return out subsequent yr and also will reportedly characteristic an OLED show with the next decision. Extra apparently, to me at the least, Gurman can also be keen to guess that the brand new SE will assist Apple Intelligence.

This new and improved iPhone SE isn’t the one factor price wanting ahead to from Apple for subsequent yr both. There’s the very attention-grabbing declare about an iPhone Air being within the works as nicely. A slimmer, new type of iPhone with much less spectacular specs however a cooler design. Now that’s one thing price holding a watch out for.
Nonetheless, if Apple Intelligence does make it to 2025’s iPhone SE, don’t anticipate it to be good out of the gate. Gurman not too long ago claimed that Apple had forgone the choice to delay the launch of iPhone 16 by one month. Doing so would have made it potential for iPhone 16 to launch with Apple Intelligence, however the firm apparently didn’t contemplate it essential sufficient.
And even when Apple’s AI options are good from the get-go, there’s the implication from insiders that the corporate finally plans to cost customers for these options. AI on the iPhone has the potential to assist it stay one of many finest telephones available in the market immediately. However, man am I bored with subscription-based providers on one thing I’ve paid off.
