In a recent Power On report, Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman revealed that iPhone SE inventory at most Apple Stores in the US is "rapidly" depleting. Gurman said this is a "reliable sign" that a new model is coming soon.

However, users can still order the iPhone SE through Apple's online store.

According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone SE 4 will be released sometime in the first quarter of 2025. This means the device could launch in March or April, similar to previous iPhone SE models.

New design and features

The new iPhone SE is said to have a similar design to the standard iPhone 14, with rumored features including: a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, a USB-C port, a single 48-megapixel rear camera, a newer A-series chip, 8GB of RAM with enhanced Apple Intelligence support, and the first Apple-designed 5G modem.

While the current iPhone SE model has a similar design to the iPhone 8 with outdated features like the Touch ID button, Lightning port, and thick screen bezels.

Recently, some model images of the iPhone SE 4 were leaked from source Sonny Dickson . The revealed images show that the device has an aluminum frame, glass back, single rear camera, similar to the style of the iPhone 14.

Additionally, there are no details suggesting that the SE 4 will feature an Action button or a Camera Control button (which has appeared on the iPhone 16 models) as previously rumored.
