Get ready to say goodbye to the outdated design of the iPhone SE: new reports claim that Apple plans to bring its Apple Intelligence experience to the next SE model, this time with a cutting-edge and modern design, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. As previously noted, the AI model is expected to be available first in the iPhone 15 Pro models, and the following generation will be in the iPhone 16 series.

Until now, the iPhone SE, Apple's budget model, has offered a more basic experience and used older iPhone designs. Rumor has it that the next SE will no longer be just a "cheap iPhone," but will adopt the design of the iPhone 14, including a 6.1-inch OLED screen. With the new AI features, it could be much more modern and powerful. The expected launch? In 2025.

Of course, the iPhone 16, the new base model set to be released next month, will still have certain advantages, such as dual cameras and a new action button. However, if the next SE looks like the iPhone 14, performs similarly to the iPhone 16, and is sold at a significantly lower price, will people still choose the more expensive iPhones? We'll have to wait and see.
