Are you confident you know all there is about the iPhone 16 with its various configurations? I would be thrilled if this season brings something remarkable, as the buzz suggests. Interestingly, there’s a strong indication that Apple may merge the iPhone SE with the iPhone 16 model. Surprising, right?

Currently, it was anticipated that all variants of the iPhone 15 would be succeeded by the iPhone 16; however, it seems that the iPhone 16 Pro may be the focal point. This leads us to consider the standard iPhone 16, the Plus version, and the Pro models, which include the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max. The global unveiling is set for September 2024, while updates to the iPhone SE are expected next year. The excitement is starting to feel a bit monotonous.
Section 1.1: Merging the SE Model with the iPhone 16
Contrary to expectations, rumors are swirling about a possible integration of the SE model with the forthcoming iPhone generation. The well-known insider, Majin Bu, has shared insights that Apple may be planning to blend the SE model into the next iPhone lineup, generating significant buzz among his followers.
At the lower end of the product spectrum, we could see the iPhone 16 SE and Plus SE. It’s likely that they will cut back on accessories. Similar to the current iPhone SE (3rd generation), this model may feature just one primary camera, a smaller battery, and a standard 60 Hz display. Notable design elements like the Dynamic Island display are expected to be part of the new iPhone 16.
Subsection 1.1.1: Features of the iPhone 16
The standard iPhone 16 is rumored to retain the usual two cameras on the back, with a battery upgrade and a first-time introduction of a 120 Hz refresh rate screen. The Pro models will naturally exceed these specifications, as they have consistently done. Interestingly, there seems to be no option for an “iPhone 16 Plus.” If you want a larger display, your choices would either be the SE model or the pricier iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Section 1.2: The Speculation Around Release Dates
It’s clear that these rumors are quite sensational, and as of now, no concrete information has surfaced. Majin Bu himself has expressed skepticism, urging caution. While the current narrative is intriguing, we cannot consider it a definitive overview at this time.
As for the potential release date, more clarity would be welcome. There's still uncertainty about whether the iPhone 16 SE and iPhone 16 Plus SE will launch simultaneously with the iPhone 16 this fall, or if they will instead debut in spring 2025, which aligns with the anticipated launch of the new iPhone SE. It’s plausible that the iPhone SE 4 could actually be the new iPhone 16 SE.
