Apple's fourth-generation iPhone SE is expected to go official in the first half of this year. Earlier this week multiple rumours about the launch timeline of the iPhone SE 4 had surfaced, and now, new leaks suggest its key specifications. The iPhone SE 4 is said to offer 60Hz refresh rate display. It could run on Apple's A18 Bionic chip and house a 48-megapixel rear camera. It is said to be called iPhone 16e and positioned as a cheaper alternative to the iPhone 16.

Tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo claimed that the iPhone SE 4 aka iPhone 16e will be unveiled soon and positioned as Apple's cheapest iPhone (translated from Chinese). The tipster adds that the handset will feature a 6.06-inch full-HD+ LTPS OLED display with 60Hz refresh rate. The screen is said to have a notch design. The phone could offer Face ID . It could run on Apple's A18 Bionic chip like the recent iPhone 16.
The iPhone SE 4 is tipped to come with a single 48-megapixel rear camera. It is likely to have a metal middle frame and a waterproof build.
Additionally, another Weibo tipster Smart Pikachu corroborated claims about a single rear camera in the iPhone SE 4. He suggested that the handset will 'incorporate Apple's self-developed baseband'. This could be a reference to Apple's in-house 5G modem.
The next-generation iPhone SE was said to debut later this month, alongside the iPad 11 and iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 software updates. However, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman contradicted this priced below $500 (roughly Rs. 42,000). In South Korea, the phone is likely to cost more than KRW 8,00,000 (roughly Rs. 46,000).
Apple's iPhone SE 4 is said to offer 6GB and 8GB LPDDR5 RAM options. It is expected to feature an aluminium frame and a USB Type-C port.
