A report suggests Apple could reveal the iPhone SE 4 by February 14, which is in line with previous rumors around the budget phone.
Apple's next-generation iPhone SE could be the next to run Apple Intelligence, but at a much lower price. It is expected to look similar to the iPhone 14 but with a single camera on the rear.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple could release the iPhone SE 4 "as early as next week." That means it could be announced anywhere between now and Valentine's Day.
Pre-orders will likely begin shortly after the announcement, and shipments will go out by the end of February. That timeline aligns with previous predictions of a February or March release, though it is a miss for predictions suggesting the M4 MacBook Air would be first.
Apple is apparently using the iPhone SE 4 as a testbed for its in-house modem, which replaces the Qualcomm one used now. The device is also expected to feature Face ID, the A18 processor, and USB-C.
The iPhone SE 4 is one of several products expected in the first half of 2025. The new PowerBeats Pro 2 with a heart rate sensor could arrive around the same time as the budget iPhone. Then, the M4 MacBook Air and iPad Air update are expected to arrive later.

Hoping this Apple designed modem is included.
A “testbed” doesn’t mean what you think it means. A mass-produced consumer product isn’t a testbed for anything. At least… it better not be, lol. That would be legitimately terrible.
That would be like saying the first M1 MacBooks were a testbed for Apple Silicon. No. The testbed happened in the years prior to the release of the first M1 Macs.
“Hey Honey Happy Valentine’s Day! Here’s a new phone!”
