Previously, Apple might use another name for this affordable class cellphone. This leak first appeared on the Chinese social media platform, Weibo.
According to the Fixed Focus Digital account which shared the information on December 13, the Cupertino-based tech giant will name the phone as iPhone 16E or iPhone 16e, depending on the writing style.
There are also several parties speculating that the new Apple cellphone will use the name iPhone 16 SE, following previous naming traditions.
Meanwhile, the Fixed Focus Digital account’s track record in providing leaks about Apple products is still questionable.
Previously, this account also accurately claimed the iPhone 16 Pro models would be available in a new bronze color, which eventually became Desert Titanium, but this color has been rumored at this time.
On the other hand, the account also incorrectly stated the number of iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus color choices available, as reported by Macrumors, Thursday (2/1/2025).
For technology fans, this new name may be part of Apple’s strategy to refresh its product line. Let’s wait for the official announcement from Apple in March 2025.
