The network has repeatedly appeared information about the budget iPhone SE4, the presentation of which may take place today - 19 February.

However, there is a high probability that the smartphone will be released under a different name.

Here's What We Know

Immediately several sources claim that the novelty will not be called iPhone SE4, but iPhone 16E.

Thus, Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman back on Monday drew attention to the tweet of Apple CEO Tim Cook, in which he reported on the "new member of the family", which hinted at a rebranding.

Later, insider Majin Bu said he noticed online mentions of people seeing boxes labelled "iPhone 16E" instead of the iPhone SE4.

And as a final argument, let's mention that Amazon had cases for the iPhone 16E, but the page was later deleted.

Well, today we'll finally find out what name Apple's new budget smartphone will have.
