A new iPhone SE is widely expected to debut this year, with leaker Evan Blass potentially confirming its existence today. In a private social media post, Blass posted a screenshot of some source code with an entry for what could be the “iPhone SE (4th Gen),” bypassing previous rumors that the new phone would be called “iPhone 16E.” Keep in mind that the name in the code could also be a placeholder, however, the branding is still up to speculation.

iPhone SE 4 Leak Hints at Dynamic Island, March 2025 Launch, and Updated Features

And sharing an alleged image of the next-generation iPhone SE, which also appears to have a Dynamic Island rather than a notch. At the moment, the Dynamic Island is limited to the iPhone 14 Pro family, all four iPhone 15 models, and the iPhone 16 lineup. Rumors have varied with some suggesting that the next iPhone SE would include a Dynamic Island but others indicating that it’d stick with a notch, so its final design was unclear. The leak provided no more details about the device beyond this.

It is said the new iPhone SE will have a design similar to the base iPhone 14 or iPhone 16, which is expected to include a 6.1-inch, OLED, Face ID, a USB-C port, a single 48MP rear camera, an upgraded A-series chip with 8GB RAM for Apple Intelligence features and Apple’s first in-house 5G modem.

Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst known for accurately predicting Apple’s plans, states that the new iPhone SE 4 is likely to hit the market no earlier than the first three months of 2025, potentially causing a March or April release in line with existing SE models. The current iPhone SE, resembling the iPhone 8, includes outdated features like Touch ID, a Lightning port, and thick display bezels. Its pricing starts at $429, but a price increase is expected for the next iteration. Blass’s leak also mentioned upcoming iPad Air and entry-level iPad 11 models, which seem to retain their existing designs. These devices are likely to be unveiled around March or April as well.
