Apple iPhone SE 4 launch today: Time, where to watch, expected price, features

Apple announced last week that it will launch a new product on February 19 — that's today — and the firm is widely believed to be preparing to launch the iPhone SE 4 (or iPhone 16E) as the successor to its 2022 model. While the company has yet to announce any plans for a new smartphone, recent reports suggest that Apple's next affordable iPhone will arrive with several hardware upgrades, including a larger display, a faster Apple chip, and support for Face ID. It is also expected to offer support for Apple Intelligence features.

Unlike previous Apple events, Apple has yet to announce when it will unveil its next product, which is expected to arrive as the iPhone SE 4 (or the iPhone 16E) on Wednesday. It's worth considering that the launch of the company's upcoming smartphone might not be streamed live, like the M4 MacBook Pro and iMac models that were unveiled last year.

According to details shared by Counterpoint Senior Analyst Varun Mishra, the iPhone SE series has been Apple's affordable gateway into the company's ecosystem since it was introduced in 2016. The first (2016) and second (2020) versions of the smartphone were popular among users with a 10 percent and 13 percent share of total iPhone sales, respectively.
