Apple may finally unveil the new iPhone SE in a few days. According to Bloomberg, the company will announce its latest cheaper model next week, and then it will go on sale at the end of this month. The last iPhone SE was released back in 2022, and the publication writes that Apple stores have been running out of stock in recent weeks. A few days ago, a Twitter user named “Majin Bu” posted a video of the device, which is presumably Apple’s upcoming budget iPhone model. Unlike the current version, it no longer has a home button, marking the death of a feature that once identified the company’s mobile devices.
The upcoming iPhone SE will reportedly have a camera notch at the top, which Apple has removed from its latest phones in favor of the Dynamic Island design. It is also expected to have a USB-C port, which will allow Apple to sell it in the European Union, where all mobile devices must be able to charge via USB-C. Apple had to stop selling the 2022 version and the iPhone 14 in the region at the end of last year when the rule came into effect.
Earlier, Bloomberg reported that the new iPhone SE will be the first Apple device to use the company’s own cellular modem, which will replace the Qualcomm chips used until now. The phone is also expected to feature Face ID and Apple Intelligence, made possible by the company’s A18 processor. The publication’s sources said that Apple will most likely not hold a presentation of the device, but will simply start selling it on its website. At the time of launch, the older version cost $429, but that was two years ago – we can probably expect the new model with more modern features to cost a bit more.
