Another reputable insider, Mark Gurman, has been saying this since the beginning of last year. This informant has repeatedly claimed that Apple will expand the budget SE line starting with the 4th generation.
The new iPhone 2025 Roma, also known as iPhone 16E, will feature the iPhone 14 body, a buttonless screen with a notch at the top, and will be equipped with 8 GB of RAM for working with Apple Intelligence. Mass production will begin at the start of the year, “indicating the completion of the device’s design and testing,” notes the insider portal PhoneArena.
It is expected that the price of the iPhone 16E may decrease, but it is anticipated to be popular given the lack of updates in the iPhone SE line for a long time.
