There’s still a good chance we’ll see aniPhone SE 4this year or next year, and a new case leak has added to the pile of evidence that this phone exists and is on the way – complete with a new and more modern design aesthetic.

The leak comes from serial tipster@MajinBuOfficial(viaNotebookcheck) and shows an iPhone SE case that does away with the old home button and Touch ID sensor, and adds a notch at the top of the display. There will still be a single camera around the back.

Have a peek back at ouriPhone SE (2022) reviewand you’ll see it’s a handset with what is a rather retro design by today’s standards. You have to go back to 2017 and theiPhone 8to find a flagship iPhone with a home button on the bottom bezel.

While therehas been talkthat the next iPhone SE would follow the look of theiPhone 15, it now seems more likely that it’ll be more along the lines of theiPhone 14in terms of its appearance – with a display notch rather than a Dynamic Island.

A twisting tale

We’ve had quite a ride when it comes to iPhone SE 4 leaks and rumors in recent months. The third-gen model launched in March 2022, and with doubts over how well it was selling, we originally thought that might bethe last iPhone SE ever.

Fast forward to some more recent leaks, and it now appears the handset is back onApple’s agenda. A leaked roadmap has pointed to a launchsometime in 2025, and that’s not the only time we’ve heard that year mentioned in relation to the iPhone SE 4.

It would appear the more affordable iPhone is going to join the rest of the series byswitching to OLED technologyfor its display. The device should also comefitted with a USB-C portnext time, like the current flagship iPhones.
