iPhone SE 4: new images of Apple's next affordable smartphone surface!
During the month of October 2024, the first dummy models of iPhone SE 4 were released, thus giving a first look at the design of this generation. This January 16, 2025 on
Through two images, we discover two iPhone SE 4s in profile and from behind. The opportunity to discover that Apple has made the right choice to opt for flat edges and a single photo sensor at the back.
A choice which follows without much surprise the rumors, with a sort of chimera between theiPhone 14 (design, Oled screen and Face ID), theiPhone 15 (48 Mpx main photo sensor) and the iPhone SE range (single rear lens).
Two colors are then included: black and white, like the shades “Midnight Black” And “Starlight” of theiPhone SE 3. However, red is not there, aka the famous “(PRODUCT) RED”donating a portion of sales to the Global Fund.
At first glance, the iPhone SE 4 seems to make a real move upmarket thanks to its design changes. 9to5Mac even goes so far as to say that the aluminum edges and neutral colors would bring it closer to the Pro models.
As a bonus, this generation would have a lot to see with the latest non-SE iPhone models. The noises from the corridors actually speak:
- Enough power to run Apple Intelligence
- The adoption of the 48 Mpx sensor available since the iPhone 14 Pro
- Similar in design to the iPhone 14, bringing a 6.1-inch Oled panel with Face ID
- MagSafe wireless charging
- A USB-C port
We would thus get closer to what Apple offers with theiPhone 16. It would still have some advantages, including the Dynamic Island, the 12 Mpx ultra-wide-angle or the Action and Camera Control buttons.
All this would justify a rumor which is taking on more and more meaning: the change of name. We would then have an iPhone SE 4 renamed to iPhone 16E because of its simplified technical sheet and not so far from the iPhone 16.
Please note, however, that this model would have something new in the iPhone range: a 5G modem designed by Apple. A development which would mark the end of the company's dependence on Qualcomm for this component, in exchange for slightly reduced network performance and better energy efficiency.
