October 14, 2024Apple is rumored to be readying the next iPhone SE, complete with Face ID and Apple Intelligence, for manufacturing ahead of a release early next year.
By Wes Davis, a weekend editor who covers the latest in tech and entertainment. He has written news, reviews, and more as a tech journalist since 2020. An iPhone SE that feels very much like any other modern, non-budget iPhone is apparently coming early next year, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The phone will use Face ID and will be capable of running Apple Intelligence, he reiterated today. That the new iPhone SE models may support Apple Intelligence says a lot about their performance — it takes a lot of RAM to run local AI features, for instance. They’re expected to look like the iPhone 14, doing away with the chunky top and bottom bezels and the home button; both are firsts for the entry-level smartphone. It’s also rumored that the iPhone SE 4 will get an OLED screen, rather than the usual LCD. Apple will produce 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Airs with “internal improvements” at the same time as the new SE models, Gurman writes. And right along with those will be new Magic Keyboards for both sizes that will come with some iPad Pro keyboard features. Finally, according to Gurman, before the year is through, Apple will release new M4-equipped computers: a smaller Mac Mini, new MacBook Pros, and iMacs. He reckons an update to the iPad Mini is also possible. / Sign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we’ve tested sent to your inbox weekly.
