The SE 3 is the current SE flagship on the market; however that is likely to change soon. This is because sources have revealed that iPhone SE 4 is on its way! If that be the case, then the iPhone SE 3 could be the last iPhone with thick bezels and a home button. Yes, you heard that right. It’s all going to change very soon in 2025!
Interestingly, the next iteration of the Apple iPhone SE is rumored to be launching soon with a more powerful iPhone experience. The last time we saw an update from Apple was three years ago when the iPhone SE 3 was launched. Now, we are eagerly waiting to see the new updates that Apple is set to release soon.
Reliable sources have revealed that the iPhone SE 4 might bring a surprising twist: no more tick bezels, no more home button and a name change! Yes, the name may be changed to iPhone 16E. Could this be true? What should we expect? Read through to find out!
When will the iPhone SE 4 come out?
When you look at the timing of Apple’s flagship iPhone family, you’d discover that the iPhone SE’s have an irregular launch timing. Apple launched the first generation SE in 2016, and the next generation followed in 2020 and then the current generation followed in 2022.
Since the iPhone SE 3 was released in 2022, we’re optimistic that the new gen (iPhone SE 4) will be released after three years (2025). The iPhone SE 4 will be launched in the first quarter of 2025 meaning it could be announced as soon as March. If the rumors and leaks are true, then the iPhone SE 4 will come in a whole new design (similar to the iPhone 14).
Recent leaks and analysis from experts suggests that when the iPhone SE 4 is released, it will cost more than the iPhone SE 3. According to South Korean media reports, experts believe that the upcoming iPhone SE 4 will be priced at around KRW 8,00,000. Considering global standards and prices, the price of the iPhone SE 4 is expected to fall between $499 and $549.

Is iPhone SE 4 generation the first iPhone to sport Apple’s in-house 5G chip?
From all indications, I’d say YES! The iPhone SE 4 will be the very first iPhone model to feature the powerful Apple’s in-house 5G chip. According to Digitimes Asia and other reliable sources, Apple is set to equip new iPhone models with its self-developed 5G modem by 2025. And since the iPhone SE 4 is the first iPhone to be released in 2025, then it will be the first recipient of Apple’s in-house 5G.
To back up this information, a self-proclaimed Integrated Circuit expert took out time to make a post on Weibo (via Wccftech) stating why the next iPhone SE 4 will feature Apple’s in-house 5G and Face ID. According to him, the production of chips responsible for the iPhone fingerprint authentication feature has been shut down by Apple. This means that Touch ID will no longer be found on the upcoming iPhones. iPhones will now use Face ID feature.
How old is an iPhone SE?
Many people have wondered how old their iPhone SE is. Well, I’m going to clear your confusion about how you can tell how old your iPhone SE is. iPhones come with their date of manufacture. To know how old your iPhone SE is, simply move straight to the serial number and check it out. To locate the serial number, follow the steps below:
Follow this Steps
- Pick up your iPhone and open the Settings app
- Next, tap on general
- Next, tap on the about option
- After that, look for Serial Number and tap it
- Now that you’ve tapped the “serial number” some set of characters will be displayed. Look at the fourth character in the serial number that character indicates the year your iPhone was manufactured. And that’s it!
- Another way you can also check the manufacturing date of your iPhone is by checking the box your phone came in. To do this simply flip the box over (downside up). After that, look for a white sticker. The sticker should have barcodes and numbers. You will find your iPhone’s manufacturing date there.
Conclusion
The long wait is finally over! The iPhone SE 4 is just a few weeks away. I personally love this device because it is very portable, packs a lot of features, and it is reasonably priced. What makes this device more appealing to me is the removal of the touch ID button which will now be replaced with face ID.
It’s true that Apple hasn’t mentioned any plans to release the new iPhone SE. However, we know for sure from leaks and analysis that iPhone SE 4 will be released soon (after all Apple rarely speaks about future plans/products). With rumors suggesting the iPhone SE will inherit the iPhone 14’s design, the next model could signal the end of the home button and a shift away from smaller screens.
