Although the iPhone SE 4 dummy units align with the rumours that we have been hearing for the past few months, the claim of a larger model contradicts all prior reporting on Apple's plans.

iPhone SE 4 is one the most talked about smartphones in the world right now. Despite being placed in the mid-range segment, the phone is getting more eyeballs than few of the flagship models out there. Over the past few weeks, we have seen several rumours around the powerful Apple mid-ranger and the latest one suggests that the company may also launch a larger ‘Plus' version of the iPhone SE 4. However, the claim is highly likely to be dubious if you consider previous reports and Apple's plan for the budget iPhone line.

A few days ago, Japanese blog Mac Otakara shared images of alleged iPhone SE 4 models. One of the models was the expected 6.1-inch iPhone SE 4 and along with it, the blog also shared an image of rumoured 6.7-inch iPhone SE 4 Plus, citing unverified sources from Alibaba. Although the iPhone SE 4 dummy units align with the rumours that we have been hearing for the past few months, the claim of a larger model contradicts all prior reporting on Apple's plans.

Mac Otakara has previously provided reliable information, though it has also made some assertions that did not come to fruition. The blog itself mentions that the "final precision design and size expansion have yet to be determined," indicating a level of uncertainty in their own reporting. Mac Otakara further emphasised its lack of certainty by stating to MacRumors: "It is possible that only the 6.1-inch model will actually be released."

iPhone SE 4: What we know

If reports are to be believed, iPhone SE 4 launch will take place in March 2025. The iPhone SE 4 is said to get a larger 6.06-inch OLED display when compared to 4.7-inch in iPhone SE 3. iPhone SE 4 will be the first SE phone from Apple to get a Face ID instead of Touch ID. Until now, all three iPhone SE models launched till now were based on older iPhone models that used Touch ID for security.
