Considering that Gurman is as much of an Apple insider as any tech journalist can be (as opposed to a securities firm analyst like Ming-Chi Kuo), we would tend to believe what he writes over the forecasts from an unknown Weibo leaker. Of course, even the most connected Apple insider is wrong every now and then. You might recall that Gurman called for the Apple Watch Series 7 to contain flat sides back in 2021, and while renders showed such a design, that look never appeared on a released Apple timepiece.

We could see a single 48MP camera on the back and Gurman says that the iPhone SE 4 could be a big winner if Apple can get the price tag to read about $500. The new version of the Special Edition iPhone could be released during the latter part of the first quarter or early during the second quarter of next year.
