The forthcoming iPhone SE is anticipated to feature a design akin to that of the iPhone 14, incorporating an edge-to-edge display with a notch, as reported by Gurman.
This suggests that the new model will likely include Face ID functionality, in contrast to the existing iPhone SE, which utilizes a Touch ID button.
Furthermore, Gurman indicates that the device is expected to support Apple Intelligence, a feature currently found in the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the latest iPhone 16 models.
In addition, the upcoming iPad Air models are expected to include “internal enhancements,” although Gurman did not elaborate on specific improvements.
He also anticipates a refreshed version of the Magic Keyboard for both the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air, which will incorporate some of the new features that were previously introduced in the latest iteration of the iPad Pro keyboard.
The iPhone SE 4 will be released “early next year,” according to @markgurman 📱
