Leaked details about the specifications of the iPhone SE 4 have surfaced once again, providing tech enthusiasts with a glimpse of what to anticipate from Apple’s purported successor to the iPhone SE (2022). In 2022, Apple introduced its third-generation midrange iPhone SE model, featuring a modified iPhone 8 chassis and distinguishing itself as the only iPhone in Apple’s current lineup equipped with a Touch ID button. The forthcoming iteration is poised to undergo a significant transformation, boasting a more contemporary design characterized by a larger screen, a display notch, and the inclusion of Face ID.
According to MacRumors, Apple is diligently working on a new model, codenamed Ghost and identified internally as D59, which is slated to debut as the iPhone SE 4. In a departure from its predecessor, the upcoming iPhone SE model is expected to closely mirror the design elements of Apple’s recent smartphone models, as reported by the publication.
Specifications obtained from undisclosed sources suggest that the iPhone SE 4 will be housed in a slightly modified iPhone 14 chassis. While the measurements of the chassis are likely to align with those of the iPhone 14, the forthcoming model is anticipated to be 6g lighter, attributed to Apple’s decision to equip it with a single rear camera.
In contrast to the multiple rear cameras found in the standard and Pro models, Apple’s iPhone SE series traditionally features a single rear camera. According to the report, the iPhone SE 4 will boast a 48-megapixel rear camera with the codename Portland. The rear panel is expected to resemble that of the iPhone 14, with the notable difference of accommodating a single rear camera.
Earlier indications have pointed towards a distinctive feature on the iPhone SE 4, drawing inspiration from the iPhone 15 Pro models released this year—an exclusive Action button replacing the conventional mute switch. This novel button is programmable to execute various functions. Like its iPhone 15 counterparts, the iPhone SE 4 is projected to feature a USB Type-C port, aligning with charger regulations in the EU, India, and California.
