Apple to release next-generation iPhone SE with AI features in 2025: Report

iPhone SE: What to expect

According to the report, the next-generation iPhone SE will look a lot like the iPhone 14 and will sport an OLED display with thin bezels. The smartphone is expected to gain access to Apple Intelligence features, which is significant given that Apple Intelligence is currently limited to the Pro models in the iPhone 15 series.

Earlier, it was reported that the next-generation iPhone SE model could be powered by the A18 chip, which will debut with the iPhone 16 series, along with 8GB RAM. This further solidifies the possibility of Apple Intelligence on the iPhone SE, as the next generation of Apple Silicon is said to be specifically built for handling AI workloads. Additionally, Apple has previously stated that an iPhone requires at least 8GB RAM to run Apple Intelligence features.

The anticipated iPhone SE is expected to feature a 6.06-inch OLED display panel with a 60Hz refresh rate. Additionally, it could drop the circular Touch ID sensor in favour of a FaceID sensor, similar to the current generation iPhone models. The next iPhone SE model would also likely adopt the USB Type-C port instead of the Lightning connector.

As for the camera, the iPhone SE is expected to have a single camera setup at the back, similar to the previous generation model, but the sensor would likely be a 48-megapixel lens instead of the 12-megapixel one on its predecessor.
