The next iPhone SE could eliminate the home button and incorporate Face ID and Apple’s intelligence.

The next iPhone SE will not just be an affordable phone.

A new model of the iPhone SE, featuring characteristics similar to other modern non-budget iPhones, is set to be launched early next year, according to statements from an analyst. This device will include Face ID facial recognition and will be capable of running Apple Intelligence, suggesting high performance capabilities, given that these features require a considerable amount of RAM.

The design of the iPhone SE is expected to adopt elements from the iPhone 14, eliminating the thick top and bottom bezels, as well as the home button, which would represent a novelty for this entry-level model. Additionally, it is rumored that the fourth generation of the iPhone SE will incorporate an OLED screen instead of the classic LCD.

Simultaneously with the launch of the new SE models, Apple will produce 11-inch and 13-inch versions of the iPad Air, which will include "internal upgrades." New Magic keyboards for both sizes are also anticipated, integrating some functionalities from the keyboards used with the iPad Pro. Lastly, it is likely that before the end of the year, Apple will introduce new computers featuring the M4 chip, including a smaller Mac Mini, new MacBook Pros, and iMacs. An update for the iPad Mini is also considered possible.
