The release of the iPhone SE 4 is expected in the first quarter of this year. In recent months, there have been a lot of rumors about the design and specifications of the fourth-generation iPhone SE. Notably, the new leak suggests that the phone will use a different name at launch. The new name suggests that Apple may see the new iPhone SE as a continuation of the iPhone 16 series. The A18 chipset is expected to support Apple Intelligence features. Tipster Majin Boo (X) claims that Apple's upcoming iPhone SE will be called the iPhone 16E. The name complements the names of the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models presented in September. This is not the first time that the name iPhone 16E has appeared on the Internet. Tipster Fix Focus Digital (translated from Chinese) suggested that the next SE phone would be called the "iPhone 16e" in a Weibo post in December.
The tipster also shared alleged images of iPhone SE 4 or iPhone 16E cases. There is a cutout for the camera unit in the upper left corner of the back of the case. The design is said to be based on the iPhone 14. iPhone SE 4 aka iPhone 16E is officially expected to be released this year, probably in March. Apple will likely use the same processor as the entry-level iPhone 16 in the next model. This enables Apple Intelligence features on your new phone. It has 8GB of RAM and a 6.06-inch (1170 x 2532 pixels) LTPS OLED screen with a peak brightness of 800 nits. The phone supports Face ID and is packed with a 3279 mAh battery. It is said to come with a single 48-megapixel rear camera, just like the latest iPhone 16. The next-gen iPhone SE is expected to be priced at $500 (roughly Rs. 42,000). In South Korea, it costs 8,000,000 won (approx Rs 46,000) more.
