We’ve been listening to for some time that Apple may change up the design for the iPhone SE 4, and now unofficial renders have proven us how that design may look.

You may see a few of these renders beneath, created by Ian Zelbo and primarily based on info from an nameless supply; supplied to famed leaker Jon Prosser, of Entrance Web page Tech (opens in new tab).

They present a telephone with a notch (the broader notch iPhones featured earlier than the 20% discount launched on the iPhone 13 collection), no dwelling button, and small bezels. In order that’s a giant – however broadly rumored – change from the iPhone SE (2022). The telephone will apparently are available Midnight (black), Starlight (white), and Product RED shades (the one three colours out there on the final two generations of SE too), all of which may be seen right here, and it’s mentioned to have a 6.1-inch display screen.

It’s also possible to see that there’s a single-lens digital camera on the again, however no particulars for this have been supplied. It’s possible although that this new SE will depend on a 12MP sensor, given that the majority iPhone cameras do, exterior the 48MP main snapper on the iPhone 14 Professional and iPhone 14 Professional Max.

No different specs have been included both, however visually this telephone will look remarkably acquainted in the event you’ve been maintaining with Apple’s handset launches over the previous couple of years.

Evaluation: an iPhone XR with extra energy

Given the presence of a notch and the obvious 6.1-inch display screen, the iPhone SE 4 – as proven right here – has lots in widespread with the iPhone 14. However the place that telephone has straight sides, right here they’re curved, rendering it nearly indistinguishable from the iPhone XR.

That telephone from 2018 – which you’ll be able to see on the prime of this text – additionally has a 6.1-inch display screen, a notch, and curved sides, plus a single-lens digital camera on the rear.

Nonetheless, below the hood the iPhone SE Four is certain to be higher, because the iPhone SE (2022) already has a extra highly effective chipset than the iPhone XR, together with 5G assist, which that older telephone lacks. For the iPhone SE 4, we count on a fair newer chipset, and there’s no probability that 5G assist goes anyplace.

Given the visible similarities and the upgraded internals although, it looks as if this could possibly be extra of an iPhone XR 2 than an iPhone SE 4. Not least as a result of, with the rising costs of the SE line on the whole, and Apple’s current development in direction of pushing costs up much more exterior the US, this in all probability received’t be as reasonably priced as SE telephones as soon as have been.

The iPhone XR itself was positioned as a funds iPhone, nevertheless it nonetheless value a good quantity, so from pricing to design to specs, the iPhone SE Four seems more likely to observe in that telephone’s footsteps. In different phrases, this in all probability will not qualify for our greatest low cost telephones checklist, nevertheless it may not less than sport a barely much less dated design than the present SE.
