iPhone SE 4 or iPhone 16e, whatever you may like to call it, will carry its legacy from its predecessor, the iPhone SE 3, as being a sole budget offering from the house of the biggest smartphone company of the world. The iPhone 16e will sport a 6.1 inch OLED screen, along with a single rear camera, unlike the more ubiquitous dual and triple camera setups available on flagship smartphones, both from Apple as well as from brands selling Android based phones.
The iPhone 16e will feature Apple's proprietary A18 chipset, as well as 8 GB RAM, and might borrow some features from iPhone 14, rather than from the iPhone 16 series, from where it is getting its name, since its a budget offering, and does not stand as a direct competitor to Apple's own lineup of flagship devices. As per current rumors, Apple might launch the smartphone in March 2025, though that just might change with the passage of time, as per what the company feels is relevant during that specific point of time.
