Apple iPhone SE 4 tipped to launch as iPhone 16e? Here's what we know
Apple's next iPhone SE, possibly renamed the iPhone 16e, is rumored to undergo a major redesign, resembling the iPhone 16 with a full-screen display and potentially Face ID. This shift aligns with Apple's move to integrate AI capabilities, like Apple Intelligence, into its more affordable models.
FollowApple’s biggest iPhone launch expected in 2025 could have a surprising twist. With Apple's own 5G modem and AI capabilities, the 4th generation iPhone SE is thought to be the most reasonably priced model. It will also be the eagerly anticipated replacement for the iPhone SE model from 2022. According to recent rumors, Apple may drop the SE designation for its next model and include it in the iPhone 16 series instead.
Apple may introduce the iPhone 16e as the new moniker for the next iPhone SE range. Furthermore, rumors indicate that the new gadget may get a significant overhaul to better match Apple's flagship series. With features like Apple Intelligence and other AI-powered capabilities as standard versions and a premium mid-range price tag, the corporation could no longer consider the SE moniker as a viable option.

What can you expect from iPhone SE 4?
