Apple's upcoming iPhone SE 4 has been leaked in a series of photos and a video, revealing a design that contradicts earlier rumors. The leaked images, shared by leaker Majin Bu, show a phone with a notch design, similar to the iPhone 14, rather than the Dynamic Island feature that was previously rumored.
The leaked video and photos provide a clear look at the phone's design, including a single rear camera, a feature that has been consistent across iPhone SE models. The phone's rear camera is expected to be limited to a single lens, a departure from the dual-camera setup found in higher-end iPhone models.
One notable feature of the iPhone SE 4 is the inclusion of a USB-C port, a requirement for phones sold in the EU. This marks a significant change from the traditional Lightning port found in previous iPhone models.
The leak also confirms that the iPhone SE 4 will not feature Apple's Dynamic Island design, a feature that was rumored to be included in the new phone. The Dynamic Island is a design element that combines the notch and camera cutout into a single, pill-shaped unit. Instead, the iPhone SE 4 will retain the traditional notch design found in older iPhone models.
This is not the first time we've seen the iPhone SE 4, as leaker Sonny Dickson shared photos of similar-looking dummy units two weeks ago. However, the new leak provides a clearer look at the phone's design and features.
Rumors suggest that the iPhone SE 4 will feature an OLED display and include enough RAM to support Apple's AI features. The phone is expected to launch in March or April, a timeline that aligns with the release of the iPhone SE 3 in March 2022.
The iPhone SE 4 is positioned as an affordable option in Apple's iPhone lineup, and the leaked design and features suggest that it will continue to offer a more budget-friendly alternative to higher-end iPhone models. As we await the official launch of the iPhone SE 4, it will be interesting to see how Apple balances cost and features in its next-generation affordable iPhone.
