Apple enthusiasts have new insights into the upcoming iPhone SE 4, thanks to a recently leaked image of its case. This new development provides some clarity on what features the budget-friendly handset will include, though it's important to note there's nothing revolutionary here.

Camera Setup

The iPhone SE 4 is rumored to draw inspiration from the iPhone 14 design but will differ with a single rear camera. Unlike the iPhone 14’s dual-camera system, this model will lack an ultra-wide lens. However, it is slated to feature a 48MP main sensor, akin to what is found in the iPhone 15. Users will leverage two focal lengths through digital cropping, which Apple claims will deliver optical-grade quality.

Retained Mute Switch

Initial rumors hinted at an Action Button for the iPhone SE 4, but it seems this won't be the case. Current case designs instead suggest the continuation of a physical mute switch, mirroring existing configurations rather than adopting newer design elements seen in recent Pro models.

Absence of Camera Control Button

There will be no additions from the iPhone 16’s Camera Control slider or button, a recent innovation in third-party camera apps, as suggested by the case design. This absence may indicate Apple's focus on maintaining a traditional, cost-effective build for this model.

Release Expectations

The iPhone SE 4 is expected to make its debut next spring, carrying an estimated price tag of $500. Anticipated new features include a 6.1-inch OLED display, USB-C connectivity, and Face ID, possibly offering users a significant upgrade at a competitive price.
