Apple's next event is set for Wednesday, February 19, though whether it'll be an in-person event, a livestream, or just a simple product press release.

We are expecting to see the reveal of a next-generation iPhone SE, which we've dubbed the iPhone SE 4. Going by a post by Tim Cook on X, the pattern in the gif seems to hint at a phone camera module in an Apple logo that surrounded by a circle that looks slightly convex like a lens.

The last event Apple held was in September 2024, with its "Glowtime" showcase where we saw the launch of the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, along with the Apple Watch 10, and AirPods 4.

So with that in mind read on for what to expect from the first Apple event of 2025.

When is the next Apple event or product reveal?

  • The next Apple event will be on Wednesday, February 19, 2025

Given it's been some three years since we saw the launch of the iPhone SE 3, we're arguably well overdue a refresh of Apple's budget phone.

Going by the rumors so far, we can expect a whole new design and a new cameras system, and potentially a good dose of Apple Intelligence features as you can't swing a virtual cat without hitting AI-powered tech these days.

This could see a price hike, but we're hoping Apple doesn't go too crazy and keeps the next iPhone SE within the budget to mid-range phone category.

Other than the iPhone SE 4, we're not expecting a huge amount more to be revealed, but for some more product predictions, do check out our article on the Apple event rumors – here’s when we could see the iPhone SE 4, MacBook Air M4 and more.
