Apple is working on a new generation of the iPhone SE, which will reportedly resemble the iPhone 14. We already know this about the next iPhone SE!
‘iPhone SE 4 looks like the iPhone 14’
The iPhone SE is a cheaper version of the iPhone, with many functions that we also see on the standard iPhone. However, the iPhone SE 2022 has an outdated design, because the phone still has a home button with Touch ID. According to new rumors, this will change with the next iPhone SE, because the phone will finally get Face ID.

The home button with Touch ID therefore becomes redundant, which means that the design of the device is significantly adjusted for the iPhone SE 4. The phone reportedly resembles the iPhone 14, with a slightly adjusted design. The iPhone SE 4 is rumored to have the same housing as the 6.1-inch iPhone 14, but with one camera instead of two lenses. And that camera is probably much better than on the iPhone SE 2022.
Improved camera and new action button
The iPhone SE 4 is therefore limited to one camera lens on the back of the device, but that will reportedly be a 48-megapixel camera. A significant improvement, because the iPhone SE 2022 still has a 12-megapixel camera. We now see the same 48 MP lens in the iPhone 15 series and the iPhone 14 Pro (Max).
Another notable rumor predicts that the action button will also come to the iPhone SE 4. Apple introduced the action button this year with the iPhone 15 Pro (Max), so you decide which function is activated when you press the button. It is expected that the entire iPhone 16 series will also have an action button next year. The iPhone SE 4 is reportedly not lagging behind and will therefore also receive the new button.
Release of iPhone SE 4 still unclear
It is not yet clear when the next iPhone SE will appear. Previously, the usually reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo indicated that Apple had postponed the development of the iPhone SE 4. It is therefore expected that the phone will not appear on the market until 2024 or 2025. This ensures that the iPhone SE 4 will also have a USB-C connection, to comply with the new European legislation.

So we have to wait a little longer for the next iPhone SE, because the device may not appear until after the release of the iPhone 16. It is expected that 2024 will be an important year for Apple, with the release of the Apple Vision Pro, the iPhone 16 and new iPads. Read here which iPads we expect next year, because it is quite possible that as many as four new iPads will appear next year!
