With the tech industry paying close attention to Apple's product line, rumors of the next iPhone SE (i.e., iPhone SE 4) have begun to circulate online. Since Apple first launched the iPhone SE in March 2016, this small-screen phone has attracted a lot of attention thanks to its classic design and affordable pricing. In 2020 and 2022, Apple launched the second- and third-generation iPhone SE respectively, and now, the news about the next-generation iPhone SE has sparked new expectations in the market.
According to the latest leaks, the iPhone SE 4 may adopt a similar straight side bezel design to the current iPhone series, and is expected to be equipped with a USB-C port. While it's unclear if the new device will add action buttons, based on leaks from previous renders, this upgrade is possible.
Also attracting attention is the front screen design of the iPhone SE 4. Renders show that the new device may feature a notched screen solution, where the notch is expected to be the area where the Face ID component is housed. This means that the iPhone SE 4 may do away with the Touch ID Home button, which may make those who prefer physical keys turn to buying the iPhone SE 3.
On the other hand, rumors suggest that the iPhone SE 4 may enlarge the screen size, which is expected to be 61 inch, the body size will be similar to the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14. This is the same as the current third-generation iPhone SE 4Compared to the 7-inch screen, it is undoubtedly a significant increase.
In terms of camera configuration, the iPhone SE 4 will likely have a lens on the rear, with the flash unit arranged horizontally with it on top of the body. There are two possibilities for the specific design of the camera module.
It is reported that the positioning of the iPhone SE 4 is "budget-oriented", which means that while the exterior design is fully updated, the new device is expected to bring a more affordable price than the flagship series. However, this "lower pricing" is still relative, with the existing iPhone SE 3 starting at 3,499 yuan and the 256GB configuration** reaching 4,700 yuan.
Based on the current news, the outside world has high hopes for the new product of the iPhone SE series, hoping that it will have an impact on the mid-range market. However, based on past specifications and pricing, this impact may not be easy to occur. All of this can only be used as a reference until the official news is released, so stay tuned for users who are interested in small-screen phones.
