As Apple returns to the mid-range market with the iPhone SE, what impact will the smallest and cheapest iPhone have on the rapidly changing smartphone world?

Apple has released a sleeker and more expensive version of its lowest priced iPhone in an attempt to widen the audience for a bundle of artificial intelligence technology that the company has been hoping will revive demand for its most profitable product lineup.

Both the iPhone SE 4 and iPhone 16 should share a 6.1-inch OLED screen with a 60Hz refresh rate, since Apple still keeps 120Hz displays exclusive to its Pro iPhones. The display on the SE 4 should keep the iPhone 14's Face ID notch, rather than use a Dynamic Island like the iPhone 16.

Apple has a big launch event on Wednesday9. Will it be for the iPhone SE 4, or could there be more? Here's the latest news live.

Forget about the new Apple products launching this week. The upcoming iPhone SE 4 launch won't happen until next week, at the earliest.
