Prosser: iPhone SE 4 to Use iPhone XR's Design

This will be a nice replacement when my X dies. I prefer the rounded edges and don’t need a huge camera array.

edit: oh wait, I do care about screen technology, so never mind, lol.

This guy has a very big mouth and very little credibility.

Although such a rumour is an obvious one....

Look at last year when he proudly announced the Apple Watch series 7 would be flat faced and edged resembling the iPad pro... he even showed renders with glee as he was running apple's announcements....
and then also the very loud 'factual' prediction he made showing the so-called iPhone 14 BEFORE the iPhone 13 was launched.... this tuned out to be utter fiction (flush cameras on the back etc etc).

Just another attention seeking YouTuber

I was thinking the opposite. If you look at the new 10th generation iPad, would suggest Apple wants to move to this design language across all of its devices.

What I suspect will happen is, the iPhone SE 4 will get a A16 and use the iPhone Mini design language and the iPhone SE 3 with its A15 will remain available at a new price point of 299.

The iPhone XR is actually a not bad design, but they will move the Touch ID to an enlarged Power button and the front camera will likely be in a small cutout. And it will likely include mid-band 5G support, since it may use the A15 SoC.

As I’ve only “guessed” with my big huge brain six billion times. 🤪

Can we now stop these “next SE will definitely maybe be a new mini with TouchID side button or some thing other unexpected and not just another old, outdated design with the latest SoC”-fantasies?!

Listen to Prosser, please! 🙏

iPhone XR 2018 design... we're almost to the year 2023.

I’m getting tired of seeing the old designs by Apple. Where is the hardware team?

SE stands for “Special Edition”. The SE has always used an old design with updated internals. It’s literally a special edition of an existing design. This is intentional to keep costs low.

Using the XR makes sense. It was the last numbered iPhone with an LCD screen, single rear camera and was a major seller for Apple right up until they discontinued it. As much as I’d like to see the mini resurrected as the SE, the XR makes sense, both from a cost and popularity perspective.
