Leaker Unknownz21 wants more details about the next iPhone SE. Accordingly, the fourth generation should be based on the iPhone 14 and adopt some design elements, such as a wider notch. Accordingly, TouchID will also be ditched and replaced by FaceID. The Lightning port should also give way to a USB-C connection to comply with USB-C requirements in the EU.
There will be a single camera on the back, the specs of which are still unknown. However, it is much more interesting that the iPhone SE4 should have an action button. As of now, only the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will have such a button. So it looks like the iPhone SE4 won’t actually arrive until 2025.
