iPhone SE 4's Design Revealed in CAD Renders

[MacRumors]

The rumored design of the fourth-generation iPhone SE was today corroborated in a series of CAD renders shared by Indian tech blog 91Mobiles.

The images show a 6.1-inch, all-screen design display with a notch housing the TrueDepth camera array for Face ID, flat sides, and a USB-C port in place of Lightning. This design would be a substantial upgrade over the current iPhone SE, which features curved edges, a 4.7-inch display, a Home Button with Touch ID, and large bezels.

The new iPhone SE is apparently 147mm tall, 71.5mm wide, and 7.7mm thick. This is almost identical to the size of the iPhone 14, which is 146.7mm tall, 71.5mm wide, and 7.8mm thick.

Overall, the images corroborate MacRumors' reporting from last year, which revealed that the next-generation iPhone SE would largely re-use the design of the iPhone 14, including Face ID authentication and a 6.1-inch OLED display, but with a single rear camera, an Action button, and a USB-C port. The device is expected to launch next year.

91Mobiles previously revealed accurate CAD renders of the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro, but its Apple Watch Series 7 designs were ultimately incorrect. The website recently shared renders purporting to depict the design of the upcoming 12.9-inch iPad Air.

This is the iPhone SE fans deserve.

 

[scrapesleon]

They gonna put the a16 chip in this as well I guess

 

[desslr]

Lost me at 6.1”

 

[turbineseaplane]

Need an SE Mini please

 

[12-ThreeFour]

You can barely see the buttons on the side and there's no Action Button, but also no silent switch.

 

[Havalo]

Shame. Was really hoping Apple would use some common sense and demote iPhone 13 Mini as SE.

 

[Avenged110]

What a dumb (alleged) upgrade. Should be the size of a so-called mini.

 

[MayaUser]

So notch, not pill like other said

 

[turbineseaplane]

You can barely see the buttons on the side and there's no Action Button or silent switch.

Those are more "pro" features


What a crock all this artificial segmentation is.

Put things like the action button EVERYWHERE -- so EVERYONE can use it and Devs can really target it and take advantage of it. It's a button for goodness sakes -- a button!

I'd say the same for the dynamic island also
If you want these things to reach their potential, the feature has to be on every iPhone

Looking alright... lets see what the final specs and price are

Only disappointment is the single camera lens.... but I bet you they use that to make people go to the regular iPhone

Kings of the upsell

I’m sure Apple will figure out a way to make it more expensive, the SE is supposed to be the economy phone.

 

[mcnallym]

Why do we have to keep increasing the size of the phone. I want my phone to be a phone. I don't want to be in an episode of Trigger Happy TV.

Perhaps the EU can get around to regulating phone size whilst they seem to be in the mood and do something actually useful and keep my phone at a comfortable hand size.

 

[danakin]

Would it not make sense for this to get a September release this year so that the 14 and 13 can be dropped for an all- USB-C lineup?
it would also create natural price tiers.

 

[turbineseaplane]

Why do we have to keep increasing the size of the phone.

Apple are out of any other ideas here it would seem

 

[vegetassj4]

So, an iPhone 13 mini plus,

• max
• ultra

 

[MacDevil7334]

What’s especially crazy is that the current SE is using a tweaked version of the iPhone 6 design, which will be 10 years old this fall.

Makes no sense to resurrect a failed product and rebrand it as SE. Apple wants the SE to succeed.

 

[bejib66000]

That's great news! I'll definitely buy a couple of this for my parents!

 

[trusso]

You can have my Touch ID when you pry it from my cold, dead thumb.

Makes no sense to resurrect a failed product and rebrand it as SE. Apple wants the SE to succeed.

But the SE has always been smaller than the other iPhones, so why not now?

 

[boak]

At least $499

 

[JPack]

But the SE has always been smaller than the other iPhones, so why not now?

Smaller is a byproduct of being a low-cost iPhone. Apple will be increasing the size of iPhone 16 Pro to 6.3-inches and the regular iPhone 17 will follow.

 

[winxmac]

Bezels close enough to iPhone XR and iPhone 11

It'd be nice if this used the mini form factor...

If not for the bigger battery, I would have gone iPhone 14 Pro...

I miss the iPhone SE 2016 and iPhone 5c

 

[Jim Lahey]

RIP light and compact. Looks like I bought my last iPhone two years ago. Also last Mac until they stop ripping people off and deleting popular colors. That just leaves the $4,000 scuba mask on the shopping list. Oh…
