Apple CEO Tim Cook has teased a possible iPhone SE 2025 launch, hinting at an announcement scheduled for Wednesday, February 19. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Cook wrote, “Get ready to meet the newest member of the family,” suggesting the arrival of a new iPhone model.
iPhone SE Rebrand: iPhone 16E in the Works?
Apple may rebrand the next-generation iPhone SE as "iPhone 16E", aligning it with the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Cook’s wording suggests a shift in the SE lineup’s identity, though the official name remains unconfirmed.
iPhone SE 2025 Expected Features and Upgrades
The upcoming iPhone SE (iPhone 16E) is rumored to feature:
- A18 chip for improved performance
- 6.1-inch OLED display, larger than previous SE models
- Face ID for secure authentication
- USB-C port, replacing Lightning for universal charging
- Apple Intelligence support, bringing AI-powered features
- Notch display, similar to the iPhone X
Apple’s Announcement Format: Press Release Expected
Apple has not confirmed whether other products will debut alongside the new budget iPhone. Reports suggest that the announcement will be made via a press release rather than a traditional keynote event, with official videos likely to be published on Apple’s YouTube channel.
With February 19 approaching, more details about the iPhone SE 2025 (iPhone 16E) could surface. Stay tuned for full coverage of Apple’s latest product announcements.
