Apple reportedly has a new iPhone SE model in the works, with an eye toward shipping the phone early next year. However, given some of the changes being floated for the iPhone SE 4, I wonder whether this phone will really be made in the same spirit as its predecessors.
When Apple released the original iPhone SE back in 2016, it stood out from the flagship iPhones in two key ways — 1) it was small and 2) it was cheap. The first iPhone SE arrived at a time when Apple had started making bigger devices, though big in this case is a relative description. (The iPhone 6s Plus that had come out the previous fall offered a 5.5-inch display, which would be derided nowadays as hopelessly minuscule.)
