Apple is likely to unveil the iPhone SE 4 this week, bringing significant changes in both design and features. One of the most talked-about updates is the potential inclusion of Face ID, alongside the elimination of the home button. This shift will give the front of the phone a similar appearance to the iPhone 14. Recently, Spigen, a case manufacturer, shared renders of the new device with its case, which supports earlier design speculations.
New Look and Display
In contrast to the iPhone SE 2022, the new model features a fully flat design. When examined closely, the display seems to have rather slim bezels. The expected display size is 6.1 inches, which is significantly larger than the 4.7 inches of the previous SE model. Regarding color choices, this upcoming version is anticipated to offer some new shades, in addition to the classic black, white, and red options.
Camera Details
On the rear, the iPhone SE 4 retains a single camera setup. The flash and the extra sensor maintain their original positions, providing a look quite similar to that of its predecessor. Previous rumors suggested that the camera sensor could have a resolution of 48MP. However, based on the design’s lack of a noticeable bump, it appears that there won’t be an increase in sensor size. While it shares the same resolution as the iPhone 16 and captures images at 24MP, the picture quality may not reach the same level as more premium models.
Performance Expectations
Nonetheless, much of the image quality relies on processing, which is likely to improve thanks to the Apple A18 chip. Indeed, the iPhone SE 4 is rumored to be powered by the same chip used in the iPhone 16. There are also claims that this upcoming model will support Apple Intelligence. The SE 4 is a smaller device, and with its redesign, it certainly appears more attractive. It will be interesting to see what software features Apple includes in its most affordable iPhone of 2025.
