Numerous leaks have emerged on the design and specs of the iPhone SE 4, which is highly anticipated to be announced sometime during the first quarter of this year. However, ahead of any official reveals, a new leak suggests the upcoming model might not use the traditional name. This potential rebranding would indicate that Apple would include this new iPhone SE with the iPhone 16 lineup. It is rumored to run on the A18 chipset, and be able to support all of Apple’s new Intelligence features.
