Tech giant Apple has plans to completely revamp its affordable iPhone SE model in 2025, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The major design change will see the removal of the iconic Home button and the adoption of Face ID, bringing the SE in line with the iPhone 14's design. The new SE is also rumored to feature Apple Intelligence features and will be powered by one of the company's latest chipsets. In addition to the iPhone SE, Apple is also working on updates for its iPad Air and Mac mini models, as well as revamped versions of the MacBook Pro and iMac with M4 chips.
Speculation is growing about the possibility of Apple launching a mid-range device, the iPhone SE 4, at the upcoming Glowtime 2024 event. Recent reports and leaks suggest that the SE 4 might debut alongside the highly anticipated iPhone 16 Series, boasting a new design, A18 chip, and other advanced features. If the rumors are true, the SE 4 could have a significant impact on iPhone 16 sales, offering a more affordable option for those seeking high-end features. Apple fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation from the tech giant.
After successfully manufacturing the iPhone SE series in India, Apple is now set to produce its premium Pro models in the country as well. With this move, the tech giant is looking to reduce its dependence on China and take advantage of India's strong alternative. The Indian unit of Foxconn has been chosen to assemble the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max versions, which use advanced technology and materials such as titanium and have higher version cameras. The Union Budget 2024 cutting customs duty on mobile components also serves as an added benefit for Apple, leading to a potential price drop for the upcoming models.
With another explosive innings, Virat Kohli of the Royal Challengers Bangalore strengthened his position as the top contender for the Orange Cap in IPL 2022. However, with his unbeaten 105-run knock for the Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma made a strong entry into the top 10 list. Heinrich Klaasen of the Rajasthan Royals and Travis Head of the Sunrisers Hyderabad also moved up in the race, currently standing at fifth and seventh position respectively.
Apple is reportedly planning to release a new iPhone SE model with significant upgrades, including a design similar to the iPhone 14, Face ID technology, and a possible "Action button." Leaks also suggest a potential 6.1-inch OLED display and a new Apple-designed 5G modem. However, the release date for this mid-range contender is still uncertain, as previous models were not released on a yearly schedule.
