As per Tigas, Apple has changed requirements at the 'Product Page' stage for the developers.

The change in requirements not only hints at the launch of a new iPhone SE 4 model but it also backs the claim that Apple may finally get rid of the Home Button as developers no longer need to upload screenshots according to that.

iPhone SE 4 is believed to get a rear design like iPhone 16, powerful chipset, OLED display, and advanced Apple Intelligence features, making it a compelling purchase. It may also get an Action button, the A18 chipset and a USB-C port. If these things turn out to be true, there is a strong chance that people who wish to buy the new iPhone 16 for just Apple Intelligence or Apple users who want to upgrade to the latest features without spending big, may stick to iPhone SE 4.
