I’m using a Fujifilm APS-C mirrorless camera and want the same field of view as the main camera on an iPhone SE. The phone lens is listed around 4mm actual focal length, but I know smartphone specs are often given as full-frame equivalents. What focal length should I use on a Fujifilm APS-C body to match the iPhone SE’s view?

Use about a 19mm lens on Fujifilm APS-C.
The key is to compare full-frame equivalent focal lengths, not the phone’s actual 4mm focal length. The iPhone SE main camera is about 29mm equivalent. A Fujifilm APS-C sensor has a crop factor of roughly 1.5x, so:
29mm ÷ 1.53 ≈ 19mm
So a lens around 19mm on Fuji APS-C will give a very similar field of view. In practice, an 18mm or 20mm lens would be close, with 18mm being slightly wider and 20mm slightly tighter.
