Upcoming iPhone SE 4 May Be Apple’s Best Value iPhone in 2025

Apple is gearing up to launch the next iPhone SE, and early signs suggest it might just be one of the best iPhones to date. Set to feature cutting-edge technology at an affordable price point, the iPhone SE is shaping up to deliver flagship performance without the premium price tag.

A key highlight of the iPhone SE is Apple’s use of artificial intelligence (AI) within the device. While Apple has been catching up with generative AI, the company has long been at the forefront of AI-powered features like language processing and image recognition, thanks to its Neural Engine integrated into the Axx chipsets.

The iPhone SE will pack powerful performance, likely featuring the A18 chipset, which is currently used in the iPhone 16 Pro models. This will give the iPhone SE capabilities similar to those of more expensive models, allowing it to support advanced features while keeping the price competitive.

In terms of pricing, the iPhone SE may come in at around $499 for the entry-level model—about $70 more than its predecessor. This increase could make it harder for the SE to compete in emerging markets, though it will remain an appealing option for many buyers looking for premium features at a lower cost.

While the iPhone SE may not be perfect for everyone, Apple expects its decisions around design and pricing will resonate with a large audience, making it a potential winner in 2025.
