Interesting re: dimensions, as this means it would be somewhat between a mini and any regular 6.1” iPhone:
Yep, I think it depends on branding really. They may give the standard 16 an "A18" and the Pro model the "A18 Pro", keeping the Pro wording away from the baseline model, similar to how it works with Macs.You should reread my comment. I said the SE always got the chip in the latest base iPhone at time of release, not that the SE would get the Pro A chip. In mid-2025 the iPhone 16 would be the latest base iPhone and it will have the A17 (and the iPhone 16 Pro would have the A18 Pro). So if Apple keeps to the SE release convention so far, if they release it in 2025 it would have the A17 chip, just like the iPhone 16.
The whole point of keeping the iPhone 14 on the A15 last year was so that Apple can start putting the A(n) Pro chip on the Pro model and the non-Pro A(n-1) chip on the base model. I very much doubt the regular iPhone 16 would skip a generation and get the A18 in 2024. The A18 should instead be in the iPhone 17.
Check that. As clearly indicated, those are the dimensions of the existing iPhone SE 3, not the future iPhone SE 4. The reason that information is included in the article is to highlight the expected size increase. That is to say, the SE 4 dimensions will be exactly as described in the article: the same as the iPhone 14 but slightly lighter weight due to the use of a single camera instead of two.
I'm not a shareholder so I don't care about Apples profits but this seems like a bad decision. The SE would cannibalize a lot of the non-Pro sales.
...
So regardless, it will get a price increase.
I myself would never pay _double_ the price for "Pro" features, if those are only slightly better cameras, 120hz, and under-screen FaceID (vs notch). Few people would.
Dude, just buy a lightly used 12 or 13 Mini; probably cost the same or less than this new SE Mini which you really want but Apple wont make.i‘m loosing it. i‘m literally loosing it. i‘m typing this on an iphone se 1st edition, almost falling apart, with a replaced battery that the settings app is too shy to show how bad it really is. this is the level that i kling to the form factor because it’s the only one i‘m willing to pay for and that i can actually use because i‘m in the minority of people who have normal-sized hands.
now, for the sake of it, why is it so damn hard for the bone heads at apple to just flush that ugly as **** camera bulge — yes, give me a camera from 5 years ago! — and put it into an iphone 13 mini case?
what’s so bloody hard about this for this trillion dollar company?!
i hate the leadership since steve is gone. soulless woke crap.
"iPhone 14 Chassis" (which was based on the iPhone 13 chassis which was based on the iPhone 12 chassis)

Yeah, because the 14 looked like the 13, people don;'t realize that the chassis designs were actually very different.With the notable difference being the back glass of the iPhone 14 is easily repairable. For a longer replacement cycle device like the SE line, that is huge.
If the 5/5s form factor is the only one you are willing to use, the 13 mini won‘t really get to what you want even with a flush camera. Its size is more or less the same as the 6/6s with a screen that’s even larger. And of course it‘s not hard to fit a smaller camera in, but it would sell terribly. The mini form factor is already not that popular these days, and if you threw in a terrible camera, it would only appeal to an even smaller portion of the small phone crowd.i‘m loosing it. i‘m literally loosing it. i‘m typing this on an iphone se 1st edition, almost falling apart, with a replaced battery that the settings app is too shy to show how bad it really is. this is the level that i kling to the form factor because it’s the only one i‘m willing to pay for and that i can actually use because i‘m in the minority of people who have normal-sized hands.

No it's not. Apple has a history of putting the latest processor into the SE model, that's one of it's great selling points: a cheaper iPhone that lasts just as long as the flagships. Plus the iPhone 14 currently has lightning.If you want an iPhone SE4 in 2 years, just buy iPhone 14 today. It’ll be the same thing.
That’s like saying people buy SUVs because they prefer them, when in fact US manufacturers basically gave up making sedans & coupes because they market SUVs & trucks exclusively because larger is more profitable.Because most people preferred larger iPhones to smaller ones, like in sales numbers.
They should have bought a dozen minis each so Apple would think there is 12x more demand out there.Thats great for many, but what about the MINI fans out there???

First of all, no one cares about the ultra wide angle sensor missing.
Secondly, no one (well, no one in their right mind) cares about lack of the 'Dynamic Island'.
From what I gather, those two features are the only things that differentiate the SE from the non-Pro models, except size on the Plus model.
And since Apple does not make bad decisions impacting their profit, this means one of two options is true if this SE, in this form, is released:
The non-Pro models will cease to exist and the SE will get a price increase
or
The non-Pro models will continue to exist and the SE will get a price increase
So regardless, it will get a price increase. I myself would never pay _double_ the price for "Pro" features, if those are only slightly better cameras, 120hz, and under-screen FaceID (vs notch). Few people would.
The magic of iPhone is iOS, the SoCs and the pretty good battery life. Not the other stuff. And Apple knows it. It won't come cheap, I believe.
i don’t love the mini’s size either. i loved the 5s’ 4 inches.If the 5/5s form factor is the only one you are willing to use, the 13 mini won‘t really get to what you want even with a flush camera. Its size is more or less the same as the 6/6s with a screen that’s even larger. And of course it‘s not hard to fit a smaller camera in, but it would sell terribly. The mini form factor is already not that popular these days, and if you threw in a terrible camera, it would only appeal to an even smaller portion of the small phone crowd.
i opine they didn’t. they just bought it because that’s what they were offered. the bean counters at apple thought “samsung is selling those giant phones! let’s do it too!”.Because most people preferred larger iPhones to smaller ones, like in sales numbers.
reasonable woman. vote with your money.My gf decided to stay on her original iPhone SE and replace the battery instead of going with the new SE models. She likes the small form factor.![]()
don’t upgrade. my first iphone was the 3gs. every last major version of ios a device recieves criples the performance. everything gets slow and lags. most people don’t notice though because they have laaarge tolerances. just like ppl didn’t notice the flickering on a 75hz crt.I have an iPhone 13 mini now, if this SE 4 will be the same size at the normal 13/14/15 then I would rather buy iPhone 15 or wait for the 16. Makes no sense to buy this SE 4.
Let's hope my 13 mini lasts for another 1 or 2 years. I have not updated to iOS 17, how is it on the mini 13? does it makes it slow or decreases the battery life? My brother has a 12 and when he updated his phone has become slow.
