Apple iPhone SE 4: Leaked CAD models appear to confirm modernized iPhone 14 design

Will it come or not? And if so, in what form? The iPhone SE from 2022 doesn't look so antiquated in 2024, so a design update makes sense. Whether Apple sees it that way is another matter, of course. After the imminent release of an iPhone SE 4 was cast into doubt last year, new render images surfaced towards the end of the year that were supposed to show what the next iPhone generation could look like.

Surprisingly, CAD models that were recently published on 91Mobiles now appear to largely confirm this design, although it is of course unclear how close this design is to the possible final model. The comparatively small 4.7-inch display with its thick edges and home button now appears to be history. Similarly to all iPhones from the iPhone X onwards, the new iPhone SE has a 6.1-inch display with a thick notch for the Face ID True Depth camera hardware.

Few changes have been made to the back, where a single camera remains, although this will at least have a 48 MP sensor. The Lightning port will be replaced by USB-C, and the dimensions remain 147.7 x 71.5 x 7.7 mm - in line with the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14. The images below provide no confirmation of the rumored Action Button, and there was also a rumor that Apple may position an iPhone 16 SE and iPhone 16 SE Plus below the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus in 2024.
