According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, in the latest issue of the Power On newsletter, the next-generation iPhone SE is expected to launch in early 2025 and will feature Apple's latest Apple Intelligence functionality.
Currently, users who want to experience the Apple Intelligence feature can only do so through the iPhone 15 Pro, and it is anticipated that the entire iPhone 16 series will also incorporate these new features when released this fall.

This generation of iPhone SE may adopt the body design of the iPhone 14, completely bidding farewell to the previous iPhone 8 style design, including the outdated "forehead" and "chin" as well as the home button. This means that users will not only enjoy a more modern appearance but may also be equipped with a 6.1-inch OLED screen, which is definitely good news for those who prefer larger screens.
In terms of performance, since the current iPhone 15 does not support Apple's on-device AI features, the performance of the next-generation iPhone SE is expected to be very strong, comparable to that of the iPhone 16 series. If the next-generation iPhone SE truly has such powerful performance and modern design, coupled with its affordable price, consumers may find it even harder to resist this option.
However, while the iPhone 16 will have some advantages upon its release, such as a dual-camera setup and the iPhone 15 Pro's feature button, will the average user really choose these additional features over the more cost-effective iPhone SE? We may soon have the answer.
