The latest info on the iPhone SE 4 comes from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. He writes in a Medium post that mass production of the company's cheapest handset will begin this December, with projected production numbers of around 8.6 million units from December 2024 to the first quarter of 2025. It's seems likey that the phone will launch in either March or April, which lines up with reports from last July.

Earlier this month, Bloomberg's Apple expert Mark Gurman wrote that the updated iPhone SE, codenamed V59, will be the company's new entry-level model, but it will feature a number of upgrades over the last update: the 2022 iPhone SE (third generation), which offered 5G connectivity as the most notable improvement over the 2nd-gen handset.
