Leaks and rumors about this year’s iPhone 16 series have been in full swing. Usually, this time around we would have been closer to the affordable new-generation of the iPhone SE  because Apple refreshes the SE variant every two years. However, that’s not the case as the iPhone SE 4 has been delayed to 2025 as per various reports. This hasn’t stopped the smartphone from doing the rounds of the rumor mill. Today’s development seemingly confirms the design of the iPhone SE 4. 

iPhone SE 4 design seemingly confirmed through a dummy case unit

This isn’t the first (and probably won’t be the last) time we’re learning that the iPhone SE 4 will borrow the same design as the iPhone 14 series. The device surfaced in CAD-based leaked renders last month. Leaked images of phone cases are often the first confirmation at their design. This is the case with the next-generation iPhone SE. 

The leaked dummy case unit reveals that the iPhone SE 4’s design will indeed be similar to the iPhone 14. It is seen with cutouts for the volume rocker and mute switch on the left side. It remains to be seen if Apple will replace the later with the action button found on the iPhone 15 Pro models. The power key is located on the right edge. . As per the leaked case, the back panel will have a horizontal pill-shaped camera module housing a single camera sensor. There is also a cutout for an LED flash unit. 

On the front, the iPhone SE 4 will have a notched display. It will accommodate the front camera and facial recognition sensors. The leaked case also potentially confirms that Apple will do away with the Touch ID sensor on the next-generation SE model. This will also offer a large screen-estate owing to thinner bezels compared to the SE 3. 

While the iPhone SE 4 is very much said to be delayed to 2025 as per past reports, the fact that the case makers have already started production for the smartphone suggests it’s arrival this year. Now, everything is up to Apple.
