Apple‘s budget-friendly iPhone SE series is set to undergo a significant transformation. According to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman, the upcoming iPhone SE 4 will ditch the iconic home button, embracing the full-screen design that has become synonymous with modern iPhones.

This design overhaul will be accompanied by the introduction of Face ID, Apple’s advanced facial recognition technology. This means users can unlock their devices, authenticate payments, and access secure apps with a simple glance.

Beyond aesthetics, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to pack a powerful punch. The device is rumored to support Apple Intelligence, a suite of AI-powered features that enhance various aspects of the user experience. This could include improved photography, intelligent assistants, and more.

The iPhone SE 4 is poised to offer a premium experience at a more affordable price point. With its OLED display, enhanced performance, and modern design, it’s shaping up to be a compelling option for those seeking a feature-rich iPhone without breaking the bank.

Other Apple updates

Gurman also hinted at several other Apple product launches in the coming months.

• iPad Air refresh: New 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air models with internal improvements are expected to hit the shelves alongside the iPhone SE 4.
• Magic Keyboard upgrades: To complement the new iPad Airs, Apple is rumored to release updated Magic Keyboards with features borrowed from the iPad Pro models.
• M4-powered Macs: Apple’s Mac lineup is set to receive a performance boost with the introduction of new M4-equipped computers, including a smaller Mac mini, MacBook Pros, and iMacs.
• iPad mini update: While not confirmed, Gurman suggests that an update to the iPad mini could also be in the works.
