The web is abuzz with reports about Apple’s next-generation iPhone SE, which is expected to launch in 2025. A recent report features an image of a case allegedly designed for the smartphone that a user shared on X, highlighting key aspects of the device. . The smartphone is expected to come with a 6.1-inch OLED display, a new 48MP camera, USB-C, Face ID, and more. Here are the details:
single rear camera
The design of the iPhone SE 4 is expected to be similar to that of the iPhone 14, but 9to5Mac reports that it will not have the dual camera setup found on the iPhone 14, meaning it will not have an ultra-wide camera. The smartphone is likely to come with a 48MP main camera. It may be missing two physical rear camera sensors, but it still offers two focal lengths. The 1x utilizes a 48MP camera and combines up to 12MP, while the 2x zooms in on the central 12MP area of the 48MP sensor. Apple claims this setup offers optical quality.
physical mute switch
Previous rumors suggested that the iPhone SE might feature an action button. However, recent leaks indicate that this may not be true. The smartphone is expected to include a cutout for a mute switch on the top left instead of an additional button, similar to the design of the iPhone 15 Pro and later models.
No camera control button
The image of the case confirms that the iPhone SE 4 does not have the camera control button newly introduced in the iPhone 16 series. This case doesn’t have an opening in the bottom right corner, nor does it have a cutout for a possible conductive crystal button like Apple’s cases do.
