In other words, it was an odd bird, and so will the iPhone SE 2023 if it materializes looking in a similar way. The iPhone XR, however, has a notch, and this will mark the first time Apple would stray away from the physical home button design for the budget SE series.
Apple iPhone SE 4 (2023) specs
- 6.1-inch, 1792 x 828 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio, 326 PPI display
- 4nm Apple A16 processor
- 4GB RAM
- 12MP main camera with f/1.8 aperture and 1.4 micron pixels
- 7MP front-facing camera
- 2942 mAh battery, wireless charging
On the other hand, they will be gaining a 6.1-inch display, up from the current 4.7-inch panel of the iPhone SE 3 and, if Apple is feeling especially generous, it might even spare some of the OLED panels of the same size languishing in an inventory storage somewhere, instead of the LCD panel that the XR has.
Sadly, this means that there would be no camera set upgrade and the iPhone SE 4 will have a single 12MP sensor to capture photos and record videos, but those going for the cheapest phone in Apple’s roster shouldn’t expect the bean counters from Cupertino to offer them a setup close to that of more expensive iPhones.
In any case, this is all just a speculation, and coming from Jon Prosser we could consider it a wild one; still, given the tepid sales of the current iPhone SE 3 model, Apple may have decided that its most affordable, most nostalgic phone design is in dire need of an upgrade, too.
