On April 1, Apple Inc. is developing the fourth-generation iPhone SE and plans to make major design changes to IT. Previously, there have been multiple reports that, unlike the previous iPhone SE 3, which used the Home button, the new model will adopt a full-screen design and eliminate the physical Home button, and the overall appearance will be the same as the latest iPhone models. Recently, the Internet exposed the iPhone SE 4 phone case spy photos, showing the appearance and size of the device.
Last week, it was reported that the iPhone SE 4 will have an OLED display from BOE, the screen size is expected to be 6.1 inches, and the Face ID sensor with a hole in the screen, replacing the Touch ID fingerprint recognition of the physical Home button. The redesign will completely abandon the old design of the iPhone 6 era.
From the outside, the iPhone SE 4 will borrow design elements from the iPhone 14, featuring a right-angled bezel design with a small fringe in the top center to house the front-facing camera and Face ID sensor. Leaked images of the case confirm the rumors, and show that the size of the bangs will be similar to the iPhone 13 series.
The back of the phone will feature a single rear camera design with a flash and microphone. Although the camera sensor is larger than the previous generation, the overall layout is similar to the iPhone XR. In addition, the rear camera does not bulge out of the body plane, as some models do, but is directly integrated into the rear glass.
IT Home notes that some design details have also leaked on the side of the iPhone SE 4’s case, with an opening above the volume Button indicating that the device will not have the previously rumored “Action Button.” Previous speculation was that the iPhone SE 4 would have a similar design to the iPhone 14, with a “function button,” but the opening in the case is more likely to be designed for a mute button.
It’s not clear if Apple will end up with a mute button or a “function button,” and the final design of the iPhone SE 4 could still change due to the length of time before launch.
