Apple's Next Budget iPhone May Be Branded as iPhone 16E

Reports suggest the upcoming iPhone SE update will feature a new name and significant design and hardware upgrades.

Multiple sources claim the next iPhone SE, expected in March 2025, will be rebranded as the iPhone 16E, though this has not been confirmed by Apple.
The device is rumored to adopt the iPhone 14's design, featuring a 6.1-inch OLED display, a notch, and the removal of the Home button.
Hardware upgrades are expected to include the A18 chip, 8GB of RAM, a 48MP rear camera, and a USB-C port, aligning it with the iPhone 16 lineup.
The iPhone 16E could also debut Apple's first in-house 5G modem and support for Apple Intelligence features, enhancing its AI capabilities.
While the name change remains speculative, analysts suggest it could position the device as a modern, value-driven alternative to other iPhone models.
