What to Expect From iPhone 16E
Apple’s latest budget-friendly iPhone, the iPhone 16E or iPhone SE 4 (whatever Apple likes to call it), is speculated to get some worthy upgrades over the existing iPhone SE 3. Apple will finally bid adieu to the now-outdated 4.7-inch LCD screen with Touch ID in favor of a modern-looking 6.1-inch OLED screen with Face ID support. One of the most significant changes would be the inclusion of 8GB of RAM and the capable A18 chipset that fuels the iPhone 16 lineup.
Other improvements could be a 48MP primary camera, a USB-C charging port, an Action Button, an in-house cellular modem chip, and Apple Intelligence support.
Apart from the iPhone 16E, Apple might have a few surprises up its sleeve. Here’s a sneak peek at what to expect from Apple’s February 19 launch event.
