With the third generation of the iPhone SE, Apple did not change the design this year. This will then change with the upcoming iPhone SE 4. This assumption is again confirmed by the report of a well-informed insider. He is certain: Apple is completely redesigning the new cheap model, but is digging out a four-year-old design.

Apple’s concept of the iPhone SE and thus the cheapest iPhone is quickly explained: You take a well-known form, put reasonably modern technology into it and then sell this hybrid creature for less money. But cheap is relative, because Apple still generates a decent margin with the iPhone SE.

Apple expert confirms: iPhone SE 4 will be a modernized iPhone XR

This basic idea will not change in the future either. Well-known Apple insider Jon Prosser reveals: For the iPhone SE 4, Apple will use the basic design of the iPhone XR (Source: Front Page Tech). Apple presented this in autumn 2018, and sales were then discontinued in September 2021. Ergo: the iPhone SE 4 will still look pretty familiar to us.

The expert still owes us more details about the basic equipment. The question remains unclear as to whether the new iPhone SE, like the iPhone XR, relies solely on Face ID or whether it still has a Touch ID sensor installed. For example in the power button, equivalent to the iPads. The 6.1-inch screen, on the other hand, is considered safe, because it is known to be in the iPhone XR. So there will definitely no longer be a classic home button. In the end, the camera is assumed to have a single lens, just like the iPhone XR.

As a reminder, this is the impression the iPhone XR made on us four years ago:

Apple has been planning the move for years

With the latest report, the indications of Apple’s future implementation of the iPhone SE 4 are increasing again. Most recently, display expert Ross Young brought the design of the iPhone XR into play. But as early as 2019, the well-known Apple insider Ming-Chi Kuo spoke of an inexpensive iPhone with a 6.1-inch display. However, it will still be a long time before it is ready for the market. The fourth generation of the iPhone SE should not go on sale until 2024. The current iPhone SE in the form of an iPhone 8 will remain with us for that long.
