Wild rumor suggests iPhone 16 could merge with SE lineup — here's why that smells fishy

IPhone 16 Pro render.

An absolutely wild iPhone 16 rumor circulating on X claims that Apple might merge the iPhone 16 and iPhone SE lineups, releasing five devices later this year. 

Up until now, there was no indication that Apple would diverge from its normal iPhone release lineup, as usual featuring two low-end models and two high-end pro models. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus were expected to be muted upgrades with broadly the same shape and design as the current iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max were expected to be slightly larger devices, measuring 6.3 and 6.9 inches respectively. The only potential outlier previously was the mythical iPhone 16 UItra, which reports say could either be an even more potent fifth option, the new name for the iPhone 16 Pro Max, or just a passing fantasy.
