We know the iPhone SE 4 is on the way – it’s been leaked numerous times. The question on everyone’s mind is when exactly the new model will be released.

Previously, information pointed to a spring 2025 launch. Now we can limit this to March. The iPhone SE 4 is poised to change the way people perceive the SE series; rather than an outdated budget device, the latest model should look more like a stripped down version of the flagships.

The iPhone SE 4 could be announced as early as March 2025, according to MacRumors. The iPhone SE 3 was announced in March 2022, so the timeline matches Apple’s previous timeline. Apple doesn’t know when an official event might take place, but the spring event usually takes place in March or April.

What we know about the iPhone SE 4 is an amalgamation of rumors and hearsay, so while we believe the information is relatively accurate, note that things may change between now and the launch window. The iPhone SE 4 is expected to feature a 6.1-inch display and resemble the iPhone 14 in its build. This means it will most likely lose the Touch ID home button instead of Face ID. The new model could also have the Action button, although that remains to be seen.

The iPhone SE 4 could also be the first iPhone with Apple’s in-house 5G chipfollowed by the iPhone 17 later in the year. The new model may have a bigger battery, but that doesn’t necessarily translate into better battery life. With features like artificial intelligence and a better display, upgrading the battery might just be a way to meet the device’s power demands.
