Apple will finally launch its next-generation iPhone SE in early 2025, aiming to regain ground lost in the competitive mid-range smartphone market. The new model needs to surpass current competitors like Galaxy A series, Nothing Phones, OnePlus Nords, and Pixel 8a.
The updated iPhone SE must be equipped with advanced technologies such as generative AI tools and a powerful processor, which will be shared with other upcoming iPhones. This marks the first appearance of Apple’s new 5G modem, currently in development for the mid-range model.
By testing its 5G platform on the iPhone SE, Apple can gather real-world data before integrating it into more powerful devices like the iPhone 17 Pro and 18 family. The company is under pressure to match competitors’ updates, which will start rolling out in early 2025. With a new three-year window, the iPhone SE must stay relevant with cutting-edge specs, making this launch crucial for Apple’s mid-range smartphone strategy.
