Apple’s iPhone SE 4 Rumored to Include Larger ‘Plus’ Model, But Credibility is in Question

In the last few days, we have heard sprawling rumors that Apple might be developing a larger “Plus” model of iPhone SE 4 in contrast to its earlier reports but despite whether this claim is truly unexpected from prior ideas and Apple’s attack plan for its budget iPhone category.

The all-new information comes from the Japanese blog Mac Otakara who showed off the images of what they claim to be dummy units and suggested that Apple is indeed working on both 6.1-inch and a bigger 6.7-inch versions with an iPhone SE 4 moniker coming soon.

Apple iPhone SE 4 Rumor to Feature a ‘Plus’ Model

The blog says that the information comes from unconfirmed sources who apparently know individuals at Alibaba. Although those two dummy units are consistent with previous rumors that the design of the iPhone SE 4 will mirror Apple’s expected iPhone 14 in style, complete with a notched display and single rear camera, there has been no report hitherto of this device also coming in a larger size model. That said, no other trusted leakers or supply chain analysts have hinted at a bigger SE version apart from Young-Seok.

To be clear, while Mac Otakara has a track record of being reasonably accurate in its reporting on forthcoming Apple products, it has made assertions that have turned out to be incorrect. Even the blog when we found this indicated that “final precision design and size expansion have not been decided. They even told MacRumors that it’s possible only the 6.1-inch model will be released in the end.

However, Apple’s strategy can always change and it seems almost impossible right now based on those rumors that a larger model of the MacBook is in development — especially because this isn’t something we’ve seen from its other flagship products like the iPhone reports indicate sales weren’t great for Plus-sized models.

The iPhone SE 4 is anticipated to launch in March 2025. Expected features include Face ID instead of Touch ID, an OLED screen rather than an LCD, an A18 chip, a new Apple-designed 5G modem, and a standalone 48MP main camera.
