Mark Gurman, writing for Bloomberg:

Apple Inc. plans to unveil a long-anticipated overhaul of the iPhone SE in the coming days, a move that will modernize its lower-cost model in a bid to spur growth and entice consumers to switch from other brands.

The company expects to announce the device as early as next week, ahead of it going on sale later in the month, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Apple is unlikely to hold a launch event for the device, opting to reveal it on its website instead, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans are private.

The current iPhone SE was released back in March, 2022 so it’s been a few years without a refresh. It will be interesting to see what the newest iteration of the iPhone SE looks like and what spec upgrades it receives, especially given the recent roll-out of Apple Intelligence.

The current iPhone SE contains an Apple A15 Bionic chip, which powered the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Max, as well as the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini, and the iPad Mini (6th Generation). The most recent Pro-model iPhones contain an Apple A18 Pro chip, with the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus both contain an Apple A18 chip.

Gurman also shared, in his article and on Twitter, that there are stock shortages of several Apple devices, including some of the ones mentioned above:

Mentioned in the story as well: Major shortages hitting the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, MacBook Air, 11-inch iPad Air and 13-inch iPad Air, in addition to the SE.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the coming week with the new iPhone SE!
