Apple Intelligence features are currently exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro, but rumors suggest that the iPhone 16 line will also receive these features later this year. Additionally, there are speculations that the upcoming iPhone SE, expected to launch in early 2025, will also offer these advanced capabilities, making it a compelling option for budget-conscious consumers, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in the latest Power On newsletter.
The iPhone SE has always been known for offering a budget-friendly option with decent performance, typically featuring older design elements like the iPhone 8. Despite its affordability, the iPhone SE has remained a popular choice among consumers looking for a cost-effective iPhone.
As we await the announcement of the iPhone 16, it is anticipated to bring new features like dual cameras and the action button seen on the iPhone 15 Pro. While these enhancements may appeal to some users, the real question is whether the average consumer will prioritize these upgrades over the affordability of the iPhone SE. If the next SE model combines the design of the iPhone 14, comparable performance to the iPhone 16 series, and maintains its budget-friendly price point, it could present a tough choice for those considering an iPhone upgrade.
