Our last look at the latest iPhone SE 4 rumours revealed that it would have a 6.1-inch OLED display with an A16 Bionic application processor (AP) under the hood based on the 2022 iPhone 14. As the first SE model with an OLED panel, the first with Dynamic Island, and the first with Face ID, the fourth version of Apple’s “budget” iPhone will be a lot of firsts.
According to a post on the Chinese social media site Weibo by a tipster named “Fixed Focus Digital,” the situation is rather different. According to the Weibo translation, the iPhone SE 4 will feature the same back panel process as the iPhone 16. There is a “shipment plan for about the end of September.” It is unclear what he is referring to, although based on what we know the September shipment plan refers to the iPhone 16. It’s expected that the iPhone SE 4 won’t be released until next spring.
The iPhone SE 4 may copy the camera array on the iPhone 16 instead of a single 12MP camera on the back. According to rumours, the iPhone 16 will have Wide and Ultra-Wide cameras mounted vertically. The iPhone 13 was the last phone with diagonally mounted lenses. According to reports, this is being done to allow the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus to record spatial video.
