For a product widely expected to go official in a couple of months or so, the third-gen iPhone SE is certainly shrouded in an unusual amount of secrecy. While Apple’s next-gen budget-friendly handset has been in the news for a really long time, its final design continues to puzzle even some of the industry’s most prolific tipsters, which might keep us guessing until the very last minute.
How credible are these images?
In short, not very credible. TenTechReview’s report highlights that the notch “isn’t still 100% confirmed”, according to Kowalski’s unnamed source on the inside, which probably means the “modern” design depicted here is in fact around 10 to 15 percent “confirmed” at best.

iPhone SE 5G specs, features, and pricing expectations
Still assuming today’s leak is 100 percent accurate, the third-gen iPhone SE could squeeze a reasonably large 5.7-inch or so screen into the exact overall body of its 4.7-inch forerunner measuring 138.4mm in height, 67.3mm in width, and 7.3mm in depth (camera bump not taken into account).
That certainly seems doable… if Apple will indeed go with a notch and no fingerprint sensor on this spring’s iPhone SE, which remains a big “if.” Such a major redesign and the aforementioned integration of facial recognition technology could well add to a base price previously rumored to stay at the same $400 level as a couple of years back.
The second-gen iPhone SE is still great on the inside, really bad on the outside.
