A new rumor suggests that Apple may be developing a larger “Plus” version of the next iPhone SE 4, but previous reports and Apple’s typical approach to the lower-priced iPhone series Considering this strategy, this claim seems highly questionable.
Suspected 4 dummy iPhone SE via Mac Treasure
Japanese blog Mac Otakara on Sunday shared an image of a purported dummy unit of the iPhone SE 4, claiming that both 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch models may be in development. This blog cites unconfirmed sources from Alibaba for information.
The dummy unit is in line with previous rumors about the iPhone SE 4 design (which showed a device matching the dimensions of the iPhone 14 with a notched display and a single rear camera), but is said to be a larger model. The claims contradict all previous reports about Apple’s plans. No other leakers or supply chain reports mention the larger SE model.
Mac Otakara While we have provided accurate information in the past, we have also shared some claims that have not worked. The blog itself notes that “the final precision design and size expansion have not yet been determined,” suggesting that there is some uncertainty in its own reporting. Mac Otakara He further emphasized his lack of belief by saying: mcroomers: “There is a possibility that only the 6.1-inch model will actually be released.”
Apple’s plans are always subject to change, but based on current information, the idea of a larger model is very likely, especially considering previous reports about poor sales of Plus models in its flagship smartphone lineup. It seems unlikely.
iPhone SE 4 is scheduled to launch in March 2025 and will feature Face ID instead of Touch ID, an OLED screen instead of LCD, an A18 chip, a new Apple-designed 5G modem, and a standalone 48MP main camera. Very likely. You can find out more about what to expect from the next iPhone SE in our rumor roundup.
