The first iPhone SE was launched eight years ago with the idea to give Apple fans a reasonably priced phone with enough power and style onboard. This idea proved to be very successful, as the original SE was dubbed by many "the prettiest iPhone ever made."

Now, we're on the verge of the next iteration of the SE concept. The iPhone SE 4 is expected to land sometime in early 2025, and this time around the rumors point toward a significant upgrade, hardware-wise and design-wise.

The SE was always a good alternative to older iPhones, but this time around it looks like the new model will have the potential to obliterate even two-year old ones.

How will this new SE edition, dubbed the iPhone SE 4, stack against the aforementioned two-year old iPhone 14? And is there any reason to go for the old one instead of grabbing the upcoming iPhone SE 4? Today we're going to try and find out.
