Apple's iPhone SE is set to enter a crowded and highly competitive market. Will the new design match the smartphones it hopes to outsell?

A new iPhone in February? Apple could release a new version of the iPhone SE as early as next week, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Rumors suggest the new iPhone SE will inherit the iPhone 14's design,

An iPhone SE 4 vs. iPhone 17 comparison may be on the early side given Apple's likely release schedule. But as I've noted previously, we're expecting to see a lot of new phones from Apple this year and having a sense of how they might compare could help give you a sense of which iPhone you should plan to buy in 2025.

Apple Inc. plans to unveil a long-anticipated overhaul of the iPhone SE in the coming days, a move that will modernize its lower-cost model in a bid to spur growth and entice consumers to switch from other brands.

The iPhone SE has always been something of an outlier in the Apple line up. Sticking rigidly to an older design, the budget phone carries an air of nostalgia, particularly for a time when phones didn't require at least three hands to hold.
