There are new leaks about Apple's next budget-friendly smartphone, the iPhone SE 4 and the latest one suggest that the fourth iteration of the iPhone SE line might borrow design cues from Apple's upcoming flagship series, the iPhone 16. This potential design alignment between the budget SE model and the premium iPhone 16 range has caught many by surprise.

This could signify a significant shift in Apple's approach to its more affordable smartphone offerings. While the iPhone SE series has traditionally featured older designs, this latest rumour hints at a more contemporary look for the budget-conscious model.

Leaked iPhone SE 4 Specs (Expected)

• Renowned tipster Ice Universe has shared information about the device's possible features.
• According to the leak, the iPhone SE 4 may feature a single 48MP camera on its rear panel.
• This revelation is particularly interesting, as it contradicts earlier rumors suggesting the iPhone SE 4 would adopt the iPhone 16's design, which includes a dual-camera system.

Meanwhile, the highly-anticipated iPhone 16 series is expected in September, in line with Apple's traditional launch schedule. According to fresh iPhone 16 leaks, the tech giant may use the powerful A18 chipset across all iPhone 16 models. Last year's non-Pro models, the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus came with a less powerful Bionic A16 chipset as compared to the Pro models.

A recent leak says that the entire iPhone 16 lineup will be equipped with the cutting-edge Bionic A18 processor, unlike other years. This move marks a significant upgrade for the iPhone 16 series, promising enhanced performance and efficiency across the board. This latest leak suggests that Apple is intending to deliver a uniform, high-performance experience across its next-generation smartphone range.

Notably, Apple, following the trend of many smartphone manufacturers, is concentrating on integrating AI into its devices through its Apple Intelligence service. However, Apple differentiates itself by running most AI features directly on the device, making it necessary to include a robust chipset. Due to the absence of a high-performance chipset, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will not receive the Apple Intelligence updates this year. However, all models in the upcoming iPhone 16 lineup are said to be equipped with the same processor, ensuring seamless on-device AI functionality.

There might be a distinction within the chipset lineup of the iPhone 16 series. Some reports suggest that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus (or possibly iPhone 16 Slim) will come with the A18 chip, while the pricier iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be equipped with the more powerful Bionic A18 Pro chip.

Although this information is speculative at this point, it would benefit consumers if all iPhone 16 models featured the latest chipset.
