According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in the latest Power On newsletter, the next-generation iPhone SE It is expected to launch in early 2025 and will feature Apple's latestApple IntelligenceFunction.
For now, those who want to experience Apple Intelligence features can only do so with the iPhone 15Pro, and the entire iPhone 16 lineup is expected to include these new features when it releases this fall as well.

This generation of iPhone SE will likely adopt the iPhone 14 body design, saying goodbye to the previous iPhone 8-style design, including the dated "forehead" and "chin" and home button. This means that not only will users enjoy a more modern look, but it may also come with a 6.1-inch OLED screen, which is definitely good news for those who love big screens.
In terms of performance, the next-generation iPhone SE is expected to be so powerful that it will be able to rival the iPhone 16 lineup, as the current iPhone 15 is unable to support Apple's device-side AI features. If the next-generation iPhone SE does come with such powerful performance and modern design, coupled with an affordable price tag, it may be even harder for consumers to turn down the option.
However, while the iPhone 16 will have some advantages with its upcoming release, such as a dual camera and the iPhone 15Pro's function button, will the average user really give up the more cost-effective iPhone SE for these additional features? We may have the answer soon.
