Most legit leaks come from China because that's where the product is designed, tested, and assembled. In general, case manufacturers don't know anything. They're just buying from Chinese manufacturers and reselling with a markup. Journalists like Mark Gurman knows stuff because Apple U.S. engineers and marketers leak to him. Nothing comes from Europe because no work is done there.

A render of the phone (instead of photos of the actual case) means the seller has such low confidence, they didn't even order it to have in stock.

The probability of this info being accurate is near zero.

Some reputable case manufacturers get dummy units from Apple to start designing accessories before official launch.

For me it makes sense to use Dynamic Island on all phones being released. Makes easier for developers, future iOS updates to focus on that screens only have a certain design.
On the other hand, the SE is meant to be on the lower end of devices not featuring all the fun stuff more expensive models offer. Not sure if Dynamic Island has a huge impact in price, but if it has, that might be another reason for Apple go for the good old notch.
The 13 and 14 has the same screen and the 14 is still being produced, so its not that they have to invent a new screen either, just continue to produce it. But I guess that argument also goes with offering dynamic island.

I don't know what the SE will offer, but i'd say its a 50/50 chance between the old notch and dynamic island.
I hope they go for the latter so the phones will be more aligned and make life easier for developers.

I'd say that's generally what it might look like except replace the dynamic island with a notch and use the old style mute switch instead of the action button..

It's tough to say.

It's worth noting that Apple hasn't had to r&d the rear cameras to create any of the previous iPhones as the models they were based on, iPhones 5S and 8, respectively, already launched as single camera iPhones.

So Apple is forced to spend r&d on reworking iPhone 14's dual rear cameras to a single camera.

So, while they're already at it, maybe they're also redesigning the front to give it DI?

I'm more leaning towards them keeping the notch to avoid killing off too many iPhones 15 and 16 sales.

But you never know.

Maybe Apple wants to utilize DI to get even more to upgrade to the AI generation iPhones?

Would certainly make for a more interesting budget iPhone.

I agree on this with you, Reverend. Making the Dynamic Island the default interface going forward, from iPhone 15 onwards, makes a lot of sense, especially to entice developers to adopt the new layout as you said. Also, like you say, it is a change that doesn’t have a big impact on the screen manufacturing costs, especially if they are already producing this screens. However, if the overall body is specifically the one from the iPhone 14, then it would make more sense to employ the iPhone 14 displays, which already have the notch.

Also, we shouldn’t forget that if the iPhone SE4 or 16E ends up being an iPhone 16 with just one but powerful 48MP camera, and no Camera Control (the capture button), retaining all the features seen on the iPhone 16 in the iPhone 14 chasis, then it will highly cannibalize iPhone 16 & 16 Pro sales.

At the same time, and to counter the previous point, we shouldn’t forget that the chances of a new iPhone supercycle beginning this very year with the presentation of a bigger 6.3” iPhone 17 with a higher refresh rate screen, a lighter and slimmer iPhone 17 Air, and a completely redesigned iPhone 17 Pro with the horizontal camera layout, are really high. So maybe Apple isn’t worried too much about losing iPhone 16 sales if the iPhone 17 lineup is going to represent a new hit, followed by the iPhone 18 in 2026 which will be much more powerful CPU/GPU wise thanks to the jump to the 2nm technology with the A20.

So maybe this is the best moment for Apple to launch a really competitive entry level iPhone SE, even if that means that the iPhone 16 sales over the second half of the year (from iPhone to iPhone) become impacted.

I think the name is confirmed since a website use it but I am not sure about the image…

A random website using iPhone 16E is not confirmation of anything. If it's not on apple.com then nothing this confirmed.

We saw this last year with websites calling the Pro Max version of the iPhone the iPhone 16 Ultra. Where's that iPhone 16 Ultra now?

Whatever it is, however it is, we’ll soon be seeing it through leaks. I mean, real production line leaks.

The phone has a predicted launch date on March or April, right? Then, it is likely we’ll see real parts during this month that just began.
