Apple surprised everyone during Conference iPhone 16. It has enhanced the performance and capabilities of the base model in a way that ensures that many users do not need to upgrade and buy the Pro category. Some thought that it was a shift in the company's strategy to expand its user base. But it seems that what is being said about the iPhone SE4 may be the real reason!
iPhone 16: Value for money
Over the past few years, as Apple unveils its latest iPhones, most of us have been distracted by the announcement of the regular iPhone. Why? The short answer is that the base iPhone in the new series has largely the same capabilities and specifications as the previous year’s Pro model.
Therefore, Apple's strategy during the unveiling of the iPhone 14 and 15 was to have the Pro category get the new features and technologies. While the regular category of the iPhone gets last year's features from the Pro category. But this year, things were completely different. The company launched the standard iPhone 16 with specifications such as:
- All-new A18 chip like the A18 Pro (instead of the A17 Pro chip in previous Pro models)
- Camera control button (usually exclusive to Pro series)
- Visual intelligence to help users recognize objects and places faster (available for the entire iPhone 16 series)
- New Generation 2 Photography Modes
- Action button, Apple AI support, and USB-C (features found in iPhone 15 Pro)
All of these features have contributed greatly to attracting many users to buy the basic iPhone 16. Because it offered better value for the price than upgrading and buying the iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max.
Is the iPhone SE 4 the reason?
Many reports indicate that IPhone SE 4 It will be launched in spring 2025 and will include many modern technologies at an economical price. Features will include:
- Edge-to-edge design with no home button
- OLED screen instead of the current LCD screen
- A18 chip with 8GB RAM
- Support for Apple Intelligence features
- 48MP main camera
- New 5G modem designed by Apple
These features indicate that the fourth generation iPhone SE will come with the best value compared to previous models and at a cheap price (ranging between $429 and $499).
Why iPhone 16 instead of iPhone SE 4
When comparing the iPhone 16 and the iPhone SE 4, you will find that what Apple did to support its latest smartphones helped a lot in directing users' attention to buying the iPhone 16 instead of the iPhone SE 4. These reasons include the following:
- Interactive Island
- Ultra Wide Camera
- Actions button
- camera control button
- visual intelligence
Ultimately, the shift in Apple's marketing strategy has led to the availability of different options that suit a larger segment of users. If you want an economical iPhone, then the iPhone SE 4 will be the best choice for you. If you want more modern features, you can rely on the basic iPhone 16. If you want the best Apple smartphone, then the iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max will be the choice you want.

Every small device is considered the best, and this is an opinion that many people disagree with. This choice is due to the age factor. Thank you.
What is the difference between a dynamic island and an interactive island?
Hi Shady 🙌, Dynamic Island and Interactive Island are two terms to describe the same thing. There is no difference between them. I hope that answered your question! 😄📱
The reason, which is deliberate from Apple, is that raising the value of the iPhone 16 Plus will serve the purpose for the average user, as it is without the Apple three-camera box that people are bored with, in addition to being made of aluminum and having a large screen size with eye-catching colors, in addition to ideal features for filming videos for social media, a smaller video size and a file suitable for appropriate editing. For social media, I see it as ideal for the average and average user.
What I understood from your article is that the iPhone SE will not have a dynamic island??
Hi Mufleh 🙋♂️, I apologize if the article wasn't clear enough. In fact, the iPhone SE 4 will come with an edge-to-edge design and will not have a dynamic island. As for the iPhone 16, it will have an interactive island. I hope you found the information useful, and if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask! 📱😉
