Apple is reportedly set to utilize the same rear chassis for the fourth-generation iPhone SE as it will for the forthcoming iPhone 16 series. According to Weibo-based leaker Fixed Focus Digital, the Cupertino tech giant intends to keep the backplate manufacturing process for the iPhone SE 4 ‘identical’ to that of the standard model in the upcoming iPhone 16 lineup.

Previously, it was speculated that the tech giant would use a modified iPhone 14 chassis for the iPhone SE 4. The latest reports suggest that the company’s decision reflects an effort to create a more cost-effective SE model by achieving economies of scale in production.
