Sonny Dickson, known for his Apple product leaks, has shared an image of a case designed for the iPhone SE 4, which is expected to be released this spring. While the images don’t offer any groundbreaking new details, they do give some clues about what to expect from the iPhone SE.
New developments about the iPhone SE 4 design
The iPhone SE 4 is expected to be based on the iPhone 14 design, but it won’t have the same dual-camera setup. This means that while the iPhone SE will have the same 48MP main sensor as the iPhone 15, there won’t be an ultra-wide camera. So while you won’t have two physical rear camera sensors, you will still have two focal lengths: 1x, which uses the 48MP sensor and is downscaled to 12MP, and 2x, which zooms in to 12MP in the middle of the 48MP sensor, which Apple says provides optical quality.

While previous iPhone SE rumors suggested the device would have an Action Button, more recent leaks (and this case leak) suggest that won’t be the case. There’s still a cutout for a mute button on the top left of the case, instead of another button like on the iPhone 15 Pro and later models.
No leaks have suggested that Apple’s cheapest iPhone will have the new Camera Control slider/button introduced on the iPhone 16 series, and these cases seem to confirm that. There’s no opening on the bottom right of the case, nor is there a cutout for a potential conductive crystal button like on Apple’s cases.
Apple is expected to release the iPhone SE 4 next spring for around $500. The new iPhone will likely feature a new 6.1-inch OLED display, a USB-C port, a new 48MP camera, Face ID, and more.
