Gurman: New iPhone SE Coming 'This Week'

[MacRumors]

Apple plans to announce a new iPhone SE this week, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

In his Power On newsletter today, and a corresponding social media post, Gurman said the new iPhone SE is "coming this week." Until now, he said that Apple planned to announce the device "as early as" this week, but his wording is now more firm.

Apple has not scheduled an event, so the new iPhone SE will likely be announced in a press release published on the Apple Newsroom website.

The so-called iPhone SE 4 is rumored to feature a mix of iPhone 14 and iPhone 16 features, including a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, a USB-C port, a single 48-megapixel rear camera, and the first Apple-designed 5G modem. With the A18 chip, and a rumored 8GB of RAM, the device is also expected to support Apple Intelligence.

The current iPhone SE resembles an iPhone 8, with outdated features such as an A15 Bionic chip, Touch ID home button, Lightning port, and thick bezels around the display. Pricing starts at $429, but a price increase towards $499 seems probable for the next model.

Still a shame he can't give a date. I thought he was the best Apple leaker ever! /s

Pretty pumped. If rumors are correct I’ll be ditching my iPhone 12. Hopefully I won’t notice the mission camera.

Gurman: Tuesday will be part of next week.

Gurman has also used “Apple changed its plans” frequently before, just sayin…
But for all of you who are waiting for this, hope he’s right

 

[Reason077]

And the M4 MacBook Air? Surely coming this week too, right? Right??!

Why do I feel like Mark Gurman isn't actually a leaker and is instead fed bits of information by Apple directly to drum up hype in the press? Because if he was a GENUINE leaker, wouldn't they have shut him down by now?

It’ll be Tuesday

It’ll be Tuesday

Or Chewsday as the British like to say.

We have a Bingo!

It’ll be announced on the day that doesn’t end with a “Y”.

How would they go about shutting him down? He doesn't work at Apple nor has he ever signed an NDA with Apple.

I look forward to this. I prefer the more simplistic design with one camera. I’m sure it will sell well for the vast majority of consumers.

Of course. Strategic, authorised “leaks” are a standard part of Apple’s marketing now days.

Because if he was a GENUINE leaker, wouldn't they have shut him down by now?

Gurman is a journalist who reports the “leaks”. He’s not the actual source of the “leaks”, which come from insiders at Apple or it’s partners.

That way, all grounds are covered!

I read that in Sean Connery’s voice.

No but it is surely "around the corner" which could mean "this week" or "next week" but then, it might come "next month" or "within this year"! 🤣

It’ll be hard to believe if they really do go with the notch. Cheap Android phones have been doing the hole punch for years.

It’ll definitely help his credibility if he’s right here, considering he’s the only one I’ve seen saying this week.

Im fairly certain we’re getting a notch.

Have you seen Apple's laptop line up?

Regional/demographic variations in pronunciation here. Those from posher parts of England will say it more like “Tewwwwsday”.

I agree. I think Macrumors is basing it off of that one screen protector that was leaked that has a tiny notch cutout, but I’m convinced that’s for the headset speaker.

Agreed. There are definitely variations.

Hahaha. Touché.
