Apple's new iPhone SE is about to see the light of day real soon.

This is according to a new report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, which claims that Apple is planning to launch the new iPhone SE "in the coming days."

Even though the iPhone SE isn't released with the same fanfare as the flagship iPhone models, it is an incredibly important device for Apple, and this year's version might be even more so.

Rumors claim that the iPhone SE will receive a complete design overhaul. According to Bloomberg, it will look pretty much the same like the iPhone 14, which is the last iPhone to still have a notch on top without the Dynamic Island that's present on newer and 14 Pro models.

Still, this is a huge leap from the current iPhone SE, which still has a Home button and massive forehead and chin above and below its 4.7-inch display.

Another big update is Apple Intelligence, reported to be supported on the new iPhone SE, which will sport Apple's A18 chip. Other improvements include Face ID support and a larger display, as well as an Apple-built cellular modem.

The bad news, however, is that Gurman thinks Apple may increase the price compared to the current iPhone SE, which starts at $429, due to all of the new features it's coming with.

The new iPhone SE might launch alongside Apple's new PowerBeats Pro 2 earbuds, which are rumored to launch as early as Feb. 11.

There probably won't be a dedicated launch event for this new device. As is customary for the iPhone SE, Apple will probably just issue a press release and reveal the phone on its website.
