iPhone users are eagerly awaiting news about the next iteration of their favorite device. While we don’t know for certain what features the iPhone 15 will bring to the table, one thing is clear: the future of smartphones looks brighter than ever.

Among Apple’s current lineup of devices, Apple’s AI capabilities are relatively underwhelming. Although these features are not compatible with the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, they may become available on the company’s more affordable option, the next-generation iPhone SE.

According to Mark Gurman’s recent report, he suggests that the tech giant should unveil its latest product in early 2025, not specifying a particular date or quarter. Rumours suggest an imminent launch, potentially within the next 12 months; what’s unexpected is the mention of Apple’s Intelligence assistance.

Gurman suggests that the upcoming device may boast “Apple Intelligence,” prompting the question: will this feature make its debut? The notion is intriguing, especially given the absence of this capability on the iPhone 15, likely due to power constraints. The upcoming iPhone SE is likely to surpass its predecessor in terms of performance, suggesting a significant upgrade over the current entry-level flagship.

The fourth-generation iPhone SE is expected to boast a fresh aesthetic, mirroring the sleek design of the iPhone 14 series. The car’s dashboard may also feature its first-ever high-definition OLED display. With the addition of Apple Intelligence features, the iPhone SE presents a far more alluring option than previously possible.

While AI-centric features won’t debut on iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus models, they will be available on all iPhone 16 variants. For those unwilling to wait until the 2025 release of the iPhone SE, an alternative option is available: eagerly anticipate Apple’s next flagship device, scheduled for a later this year unveiling. Wouldn’t you just opt for a pre-configured Android device with time-tested AI capabilities?
