Leaked images and a video have provided an early look at Apple’s upcoming iPhone SE 4, suggesting a design update for the popular budget model.
The photos and video were shared by a leaker on X, revealing what appear to be two dummy units of the SE 4. The four photos show two phones, one black and one white, both featuring a single rear camera.
The video offers a more detailed view, showcasing the front and rear of the devices. Notably, the video reveals several design changes, including a USB-C port at the bottom, the absence of a Home button, and what looks like a simple notch at the top of the screen.
The leaker, known as Majin Bu, confirmed the notch, adding that Apple had initially planned to use the Dynamic Island feature, but this model will instead retain the traditional notch.
Bu also shared insights on the anticipated release timeline, suggesting the SE 4 could launch in early April 2025, making it Apple’s first major iPhone release of the year.
In a separate post on December 31, Bu revealed that the SE 4 would feature an OLED display and an action button. The video appears to confirm the presence of the action button above the volume controls.
At the time, Bu also mentioned that the phone might be branded as the iPhone 16E rather than the SE 4, though no further details were provided on the name change.
The iPhone SE 4 is expected to mark a significant update for the series, with reports suggesting it will adopt features from newer iPhone models, such as Face ID, an OLED display, and a USB-C port. The last iPhone SE model, the SE 3, launched in March 2022.
This new iteration of the iPhone SE will likely appeal to customers looking for a more affordable option with upgraded technology.
