A recent research note from Barclays analyst Tom O’Malley suggests that Apple is planning to release a fourth-generation iPhone SE in the first quarter of next year. The device is expected to feature an Apple-designed 5G modem. This information comes after the analyst’s recent trip to Asia, where they met with various electronics manufacturers and suppliers.

In line with previous rumors, that timeframe suggests the new iPhone SE will be announced in March, just like the current model was in 2022.
The fourth-generation iPhone SE is expected to have a similar design as the base iPhone 14, with rumored features including a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, a newer A-series chip, a USB-C port, a single 48-megapixel rear camera, 8GB of RAM to enable Apple Intelligence support, and the previously-mentioned Apple-designed 5G modem.
