Technology enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting Apple's next release, and it seems the moment is approaching. While it is not the long-awaited iPhone 17, Apple is reportedly preparing to launch the next generation iPhone SE. It will be the fourth iteration of the "Special Edition" iPhone, coming three years after the launch of the last model. This phone has traditionally been the most affordable option in Apple's lineup, and according to speculation, it could cost around $499. If this information is accurate, it would mean a slight price increase over the 2022 model, which had a price tag of $429. However, this increase could be justified by significant changes in design and hardware.
