The next iPhone SE might receive an unexpected name change.
A new rumor suggests that the iPhone SE 4 might take a different approach than usual. Instead of continuing with the same naming convention, it could be called the iPhone 16E.
There has been growing anticipation surrounding the launch of the next model in the iPhone SE line, with rumors suggesting it might be called the iPhone 16E, instead of the iPhone SE 4. This speculation, which emerged in mid-December from a little-known source in the United States, has recently been supported by Majin Bu, a well-known leaker on social media. Bu has indicated that the available colors for the new device will be white and black, noting the absence of the popular red color.
According to reports, the iPhone 16E will maintain a design similar to that of the iPhone 14, featuring an OLED display and a new action button. While some reports suggest that the model may continue to use the Lightning connector, the trend indicates that it is most likely to adopt a USB-C port, in compliance with European regulations.
This name change from SE to 16E could be related to Apple's intention to align the device with its advancements in Artificial Intelligence. By rebranding, Apple may be positioning this model not just as a more affordable smartphone, but as part of a new generation of phones, especially as the iPhone 15 remains available in the market.
The release date has not yet been confirmed, but it is anticipated that the iPhone 16E will be unveiled in March 2025. As the date approaches, more details about this highly anticipated device are expected to emerge.
