Apple is reportedly planning to release the fourth-generation iPhone SE in 2025, which will feature an AMOLED display instead of an IPS LCD panel. However, Apple's use of pulse width modulation (PWM) to dim the brightness of OLED displays has caused issues for some users, including headaches and eye aches. Users who are sensitive to flickering may be forced to switch to older iPhones or Android phones that do not have flickering displays.
Apple is expected to announce new iPhones and Apple Watches at their upcoming event, but they may face challenges in convincing people to upgrade due to a slowdown in the smartphone market and the option of a cheaper battery replacement.
Apple is expected to unveil four new iPhones, including the high-end iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, at its upcoming fall event, which will also feature new Apple Watch models and a shift from Lightning ports to USB-C in response to EU regulations.
Apple will be announcing the iPhone 15 series at an event on September 12, with features including a USB-C port, a titanium frame for the Pro models, and upgraded camera specifications.
iOS 17, Apple's largest annual software update for iPhone users, includes new features for Messages, FaceTime, and widgets, and is expected to be released in mid-September after beta testing, with support for devices featuring the A12 Bionic chip or newer.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to be released in September 2024, with leaked information suggesting memory boosts and camera upgrades, including a larger display and solid-state buttons, as well as improved camera performance and upgraded specs like 8GB of RAM and support for Wi-Fi 7.
Apple is unlikely to have any major product releases or events for the remainder of 2023, with no new MacBooks, iPads, or accessories expected, although there is a possibility of a new iMac with an M3 chip being announced.
All four models of the iPhone 16 are expected to be equipped with A18-branded chips, marking a significant jump from the A16 chip used in the current iPhone 15 models, according to analyst Jeff Pu, who covers companies within Apple's supply chain.
Significant changes, including a new design derived from the iPhone 14 and a USB-C port, are expected for Apple's fourth-generation iPhone SE, while it may also feature a 48-megapixel rear camera, an OLED panel, and Face ID for biometric identification.
The next iPhone SE, rumored to be released in 2025, is expected to feature a 6.1-inch OLED display, a notch for FaceID, a USB-C port, and an Action Button, according to a recent report.
Apple has released four new models in its iPhone lineup, including the iPhone 15, all of which feature an "edge to edge" display and lack a physical Home button, except for the iPhone SE 2.
iOS 17, Apple's biggest annual software update for iPhone users, was released on September 17, 2023, and includes new features for Messages, FaceTime, widgets, and more.
