Apple says it will showcase a new “family member” that could be the iPhone SE 4

Apple will launch a new “family member” next week, Wednesday, February 19. What could this be? With no iPhone SE 4 announcements this week, we hope Apple will showcase its new mid-range phone update. We still have questions.

Cook posted his brief message along with a classic Apple trailer with a classic Apple logo spinning, with a chrome-like lens. This may point to the upcoming iPhone SE refreshed color scheme. Several major Apple leakers promised Cupertino's $500 device will be launched this week. Instead, Apple came out and shared that Apple TV+ was first entering Android devices. Mr. Cook, that's certainly a way to surprise us.

Apple unveiled its last iPhone SE in 2022. This device is the last time the iPhone has a physical touch ID button and Wide edge ring. Multiple iPhone SE 4 leaks suggest that new, cheap iPhone models will have a wall-to-wall screen, although jury is still discussing whether it exists It will have a notch or dynamic island for iPhone 14. Either way, the next phone should support faceid.

We also hope that the next iPhone SE will be able to use the A18 chip in the iPhone 16. Another big rumor is that the next phone can develop modems internally instead of relying on Qualcomm. If the next device of iPhone Maker will support Apple Intelligence, it must include at least 8 GB of RAM. With that in mind, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the next “special edition” model costs nearly $500. The last iPhone SE is launched for $430.

This is still Apple's cheapest mobile product. All speculations about Apple intelligence add rumors The next iPhone can drop the “SE” and rename it instead “iPhone 16e.” Apple doesn't usually spend too much time and attention like usual flagship stores. This year may be different. Apple said it will release revised AI capabilities Siri by April.

Samsung has just finished launching the Galaxy S25, which includes the touted cross-app AI capabilities. In our tests, we found that AI may be useful occasionally, although only when relatively simple tasks are given in two applications. Apart from that, AI may start making mistakes. Apple has promised to offer very similar features for its AI products, and maybe the iPhone SE will show us some of the Gemini that will ultimately beat Google. Honestly, we didn't hold our breath.
