iPhone SE 4 launch is one of the most talked about Apple products since the unveiling of iPhone 16 series at the Glowtime event 2024. Many were expecting the debut of the affordable iPhone SE 4 alongside the iPhone 16, but that didn't happen. Although iPhone 16 is yet to go on sale, it is believed that it won't be able to get much attention from the buyers due to less changes when compared to iPhone 15 and also due to upcoming iPhone SE 4.
