    "it's said to have the same 6.06-inch FHD+ LTPS OLED screen with 60 Hz refresh rate"

    ~aaannnddd we're done here if that pans out. Don't even start about the rest of the core specs I dgaf how fast the "A" SoC gonna be because THIS is just beyond ridiculous atp in ffs it's 2025 already. I can't understand how/why would any sane iFans defend it for w/e excuse? Don't give me that "price point" BS as we all know Apple will keep Appling. The "E" by RRP is surely as per usual are gonna be way off and higher than yes competing droids w/ by now AT LEAST a 90Hz screen?

      X User, 11 Jan 2025Hi GSMARENA, you failed to mentioned from the same report, ... moreA17 Pro is utilized N3B node, it is more expensive to manufacture even than A18 Pro.

        GeeX, 11 Jan 2025If this rumours are true, this is just iphone 16 with singl... moreThat $200 cheaper price tag is exactly the point. This phone is targeted to be that free phone under contract for western markets (or subsidized cheap phone for prepaid carriers), just like all the iPhone SE before it.

          Ahmad, 11 Jan 2025These rumors don't make sense. If the new iPhone SE i... moreIt makes complete sense. Pretty much all iPhone SE used the latest flagship SoC at the time of their announcement. Original SE used A9 + 2GB RAM from the 6s, despite the existence of the iPhone 6 with A8 + 1GB RAM at higher price. This is nothing new for Apple. It's called economies of scale.

          And yeah, it feels like it's just an iPhone 16 with 1 camera. Except that it's not. It will have a notch instead of dynamic island, it won't have camera control button, and it will actually use inferior panel from BoE (vs Samsung on the regular 16). Apple is not stupid. They know how to segment their product lines.

            D31SM3L, 10 Jan 2025A notch, really? A notch?Many people don't understand that this phone on a picture in the article is NOT the new iPhone 16E. it's a iPhone 13.

            So called 16E will not have the notch on display. It will look like iPhone 14, so pillow shape punch hole like the rest of iPhones today.

            Also, the info about A18 chipset in iPhone 16E is just wrong.
            It will have A17 Pro with 8GB RAM inside, not the A18 as mentioned in the article.

            Check the source GSM Arena.

              Loco, 11 Jan 2025The latest chip (A18) is needed to support Apple intelligence Nonsense. The iPhone 15 Pro series get Apple intelligence. Riddle me that. This is more cheating from Apple keeping it exclusive to select models to force people to upgrade.

                      Single rear camera, notch display, 60hz display, battery still only 3000ish all this in 2025 and will probably still cost over or around 500$ nice joke

                        These rumors don't make sense.
                        If the new iPhone SE is supposed to have an A18 chip and a 6.1-inch display with 8GB of RAM, it would basically be the same as the iPhone 16, but with just one camera!
                        And if it's going to come with these specs but an older processor, it still wouldn't make sense to buy it over something like the iPhone 14 or even the iPhone 13, which are cheaper.

                        Given Apple's strategies over the years, the new iPhone SE will probably have a similar size and specs to the iPhone 13 mini with a 5.4-inch screen, the new A18 chip, and likely less than 8GB of RAM.
                        That would make more sense for buying and competing.

                                  If this rumours are true, this is just iphone 16 with single camera and older notch also with big bezzles around the screen. I don't see a point of this iphone release other than 200$ cheaper price tag.

                                    CargoJoe, 11 Jan 2025I mean that camera upgrade alone is good. My only complain ... moreIf it has at least the same battery as iPhone 14 or 15, it will be miles better than the SE3. It should be on par with the iPhone 15.

                                      I mean that camera upgrade alone is good. My only complain is probably battery size. It probably won't last as long.

                                        Apple was 'supposed' to drop home button for the two past SE releases. I'm curious if they the rumors turnout to be true this time but I still doubt it.
