Something unbelievable could happen next year, when the mid-range iPhone SE 4 is officially introduced.
Apple is just a few months away from officially launching the iPhone 16 series. At this point, the company is sure to be putting the final touches on the development of its new iPhone models. Once everything is in place, the company will be looking to launch the fourth-generation iPhone SE next.
The iPhone SE 4 is said to feature a dual camera on the back.

So far, sources have focused on the possibility that the iPhone SE 4 will have a design similar to the iPhone 14 and a single camera on the back. However, the latest information shows that the design of the product will be based on the basic iPhone 16 frame - a detail that could be a big surprise.
Specifically, a Weibo user (China) has confirmed that the production process of the back of the iPhone SE 4 will be "identical" to the basic model of the iPhone 16 series. A recent report said that the basic iPhone 16 will have a redesigned camera module, with two cameras placed vertically instead of diagonally like previous generations of iPhone.
While it's unclear why Apple decided to change the design direction, it's likely that the company decided to use the same manufacturing process for the iPhone 16's frame to reduce costs during the production of the iPhone SE 4, thereby speeding up the production of this product model.
This is also the same design as on the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus duo this year.

The change could allow the iPhone SE 4 to feature a dual-camera setup for the first time in the history of the iPhone SE line, and following the lead of the iPhone 16 would mean the dual-camera arrangement would be placed vertically instead of diagonally like on the current base iPhone 15. This new camera orientation would allow the iPhone SE 4 to offer spatial video recording capabilities for use on the Vision Pro.
Other rumors suggest the iPhone SE 4 could have Face ID, a USB-C port, and an Action button, though this information should be treated with some degree of skepticism, especially in the case of the Action button. The iPhone SE 3 now has Touch ID, a USB-Lightning port, 5G connectivity, an A15 Bionic chip, and a 4.7-inch LCD display. That’s truly revolutionary.

The question is, when will the iPhone SE 4 be released? Everything seems to indicate that Apple will introduce four new iPhone 16 models in September 2024, and the company will not launch the iPhone SE 4 until spring 2025.
However, there is still room for surprises. In February this year, a rumor suggested that the iPhone SE 4 could arrive alongside the iPhone 16 series with a change in nomenclature. This could pave the way for the launch of five new iPhone models.
