Leaker “Unknownz21” has provided new details about the upcoming fourth-generation iPhone SE, including some significant new features. According to the leaker, the iPhone SE will have an iPhone 15 Pro-style Action Button, distinguishing it from other iPhone models.
Previously, the leaker described the fourth-generation iPhone SE as an “iPhone 14 derivative,” aligning with reports from renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. In the latest tweet, Unknownz21 reiterated that the iPhone SE will be based on the design of the iPhone 14. The device will also feature a USB-C port instead of the Lightning port, marking a departure from previous models. It will reportedly include Face ID, dispelling rumors of a potential Touch ID button.
One notable feature mentioned by the leaker is the inclusion of an Action Button, a feature found in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. This will distinguish the iPhone SE from the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, which are not expected to have this feature. The iPhone SE will also retain a single rear camera setup, similar to the current model.
In addition to the leaked details, it was reported earlier this week that manufacturers are bidding to supply OLED display panels for the fourth-generation iPhone SE. This would be a significant upgrade from the current LCD display. The next-generation iPhone SE is also expected to feature Apple’s long-rumored custom 5G modem. However, the release of the device is not expected until 2025.
In other news, Apple is preparing for its annual fall event where it is anticipated to unveil the iPhone 15 lineup. However, there are also expectations of other product announcements at the event. These include the Apple Watch Series 9, as well as updates to the iOS 17 operating system. Apple recently released the fifth beta of iOS 17 to developers, with small tweaks and refinements being made.
Overall, the leaked details about the fourth-generation iPhone SE suggest that Apple is aiming to offer notable upgrades and features in its low-cost iPhone model. With the inclusion of an Action Button and other improvements, consumers can expect a more advanced device at an affordable price point.
