Apple is planning many changes to its future iPhone 16e, the direct successor to the previous iPhone SE. We already know most of them, here they are.
New information – via Gizmo China – concerning the successor to the iPhone SE have just emerged, revealing that Apple would abandon the “SE” name in favor of “iPhone 16e”. The leaker Digital Chat Station, renowned for the reliability of its information, has just shared the first technical details of the device on Weibo.
According to these revelations, the iPhone 16e would have a 6.06-inch OLED LTPS screen in Full HD+ definitionwith a refresh rate of 60 Hz and a notch similar to recent models. Apple unfortunately does not yet seem inclined to pass the 120 Hz milestone on all of its models, even if we expect that the entire next iPhone 17 series will be equipped with the same screen.

The design would be largely inspired by the iPhone 14, with a metal chassis with straight edges, marking a significant evolution compared to the old compact format of the SE. Under the hood, Apple would integrate its new A18 Bionic chippromising increased performance. The traditional Home button would disappear in favor of Face ID for unlocking and authentication. The device would retain a single photo sensor on the back and would benefit from waterproof certification.
