Apple is working on a cheaper iPhone 16th, which may come much faster than before was expected. This is when the successor of the iPhone SE appears!
iPhone 16th replaces iPhone SE
We probably don’t have to wait long for the first Apple product of 2025! It is expected that Apple will soon release the iPhone 16th, that the successor to the iPhone SE 2022 will be. According to earlier rumors, the phone is planned this spring, but the phone may be much earlier than so far. According to the usually reliable Apple connoisseur Mark Gurman, the iPhone 16th will be published in February.
Apple has since removed the iPhone SE 2022 from the sale. That did not happen completely voluntarily, because this was the result of the new European regulations. This states that all smartphones that are sold within the European Union must have a USB-C connection. The iPhone SE 2022 still has a Lightning port, so that the phone no longer meets European guidelines. That is a problem for Apple, which means that the company probably chooses to release the iPhone 16th early.
Functions of the iPhone 16th
According to rumors, Apple opts for a new name of the iPhone SE in 2025, because the device is marketed as the iPhone 16th. That is a logical step for Apple, because the phone becomes much more advanced than the iPhone SE 2022. This is how the Smartphone Face ID gets and Apple says goodbye to the home button. This gives the cheaper iPhone a 6.1-inch screen, just like the iPhone 16.
Major changes are expected under the hood. Where the iPhone SE 2022 is still running on the A15 Bionic chip, that is probably the A18 chip with the iPhone 16th. That is a big step, which gives the cheapest iPhone support for all functions of Apple Intelligence. Other adjustments that come to the iPhone may be the action button, a 48-megapixel camera and of course a USB-C port.
New iPhone is coming quickly
The iPhone SE is a very popular phone, but has not been for sale in the European Union since 2025. As a result, the company lacks an important market, so there is more hurry behind the release of the iPhone 16th. According to Mark Gurman, the cheaper iPhone appears within two weeks. So we don’t have to wait long for Apple’s first device of 2025, because the release is still this month.
Are you planning to get a new iPhone soon? Then it is advisable to wait a little longer, because the iPhone 16th will be coming soon. According to rumors, the iPhone 16th is about 40 to 70 dollars more expensive than the iPhone SE 2022 in the United States. In that case, the iPhone 16th in the Netherlands and Belgium will be between the 569 euros and 599 euros Costs, provided Apple is implementing the same price increase here. We will know that soon if the device is officially announced.
