Your final guide to what and when

It was updated on February 18 with more details about what to expect on the new iPhone.

Apple’s new launch is to take place to welcome, as described by CEO Tim Cook, the “younger member of the family”. Although Apple has not confirmed what is coming, everyone, including me, thinks it is the new iPhone SE. Here is everything that happens, where and when, until the minute. And the latest rumors have seen some accessories revealed about the new phone.

Apple iPhone SE: How will you look like?

Although reports say it will be largely based on the design of the iPhone 14, it is rumored to have only one camera. This appears to be confirmed by a transparent case detected by Macworld.

This case shows a horizontal cutting of pastilio in the upper corner, wide enough to handle two lenses, you might think until you remember that the cut should also host a flash. The case seems to confirm that the new iPhone, like any previous iPhone SE, has only one rear camera.

Since the front of the phone is expected to offer face ID with its double lenses, this means that this will be the first iPhone with more cameras on the front from the back.

The case, which of course is not proof that the manufacturer has the spot-on design, does not have a camera control area in the iPhone 16 series.

The case has a cut off for the mute switch, though it is not clear at this point whether it could also serve for an action button, such as on the iPhone 16.

Apple iPhone SE: The Revelation

When and where: Wednesday 19 February with Press Release

Tim Cook confirmed last week that this would be the day to reveal the new product. It is extremely unlikely that there is a big event for the announcement, as no invitations to the press are sent.

Instead, it seems that it will take the form of a release on Apple News website, Apple.com/newsroom. This does not reduce the possibility of a video that explains the new product in every detail. I think there will be, on Apple’s main website and Apple’s YouTube channel.

Concerning timetable: Press release announcements are often at 5am. Pacific/8 am East/1 pm Large events such as WWDC are always at 10am. Pacific/1 pm East/6 pm UK will be between these years.

However, let’s also keep in mind that Cook made his announcement on x At 8am Pacific/11 am East/4 pm The United Kingdom, so I would suggest watching at that time.

At the event, we will hear all the details of what is coming when it is released (although you can really read about it below) and the price, which is considered to be between $ 479 and $ 499, though it could It’s more.

Apple iPhone SE: Pre-orders start

When and where: Friday, February 21, 5 am Peaceful

This could change, but if Apple follows the Playbook for the iPhone 16, pre-orders will open at 5am. Pacific/8 am East/1 pm Uk

Note that for the iPhone 16, Apple let customers start with the choice of model they wanted the night before (Thursday, February 20, it would mean) and save their shopping bag.

Apple iPhone SE: First reviews appear

When and where: Tuesday, February 25 or Wednesday 26 February

A small number of reviewers will see the iPhone before the general release, with the embargo publishing the lift between one and three days before the Onsale date.

The time of day is usually 6am. Pacific/9 am East/2 pm UK However, this sometimes changes.

Apple iPhone SE: Date Onsale

When and where: Friday 28th February, 8am Local time

I am sure this will be the date of traffic, although it will not be confirmed until the product is revealed. Mark Gurman in his power in the newsletter On Sunday, February 16, he said: “Apple is preparing to announce the phone on February 19 and put it on sale before the end of the month.”

Since Apple favors Friday’s release for its new products and this coming Friday, February 21, it is very early, leaving only February 28.

Phone sales start at 8am. Local time, so customers in Australia will be able to buy many hours before them in Los Angeles.

Apple iPhone SE: What is there in a name?

Cook’s words are interpreted that they mean that the next product will have a new name to let it participate in the iPhone 16 family. What about the iPhone 16e? It is possible, and means that the phone can be connected to the last iPhone series. And it seems justified, since it seems that this phone will be different from any previous iPhone SE model.

I will update this post as details are confirmed, so check again.
