Leaked iPhone SE 4 renders reveal Apple’s big design overhaul

Before Apple announced the 2022 iPhone SE, it was already rumored that this device would get a redesign, looking like the 2018 iPhone XR with a notch and a single main camera. Now, YouTuber Jon Prosser and graphic designer Ian Zelbo provided a first look at what the iPhone SE 4 could look like in leaked renders.

In his Front Page Tech blog, Jon Prosser shared a few renders of the upcoming iPhone SE 4, which, according to him, will be released in 2023. In addition, the YouTuber believes this iPhone will come in Starlight, Midnight, and PRODUCT(RED), just like this year’s iPhone SE.

What’s weird about Prosser’s prediction is the fact that Apple usually takes at least two years to release a new iPhone SE. The first generation arrived in 2016, the second one in 2020, and the current model in 2022.

Since the current iPhone SE 3 already offers 5G support and the A15 Bionic chip, it’s unlikely for Apple to release another model just a year later with a redesign. It’s also important to note that Prosser’s claim is different from the one shared by DSCC analyst Ross Young.

In 2021, he said that the iPhone SE could feature a “punch hole rather than a notch.” Currently, the SE model is virtually identical to the iPhone 8.

Apple LCD iPhone leak, we now hear the next LCD iPhone SE will remain at 4.7″ in 2022. Some rumors that it may have 5G with Sub-6 GHz as well. Also hearing about a 6.1″ version in 2023 with punch hole rather than a notch.

While it’s not clear whether the iPhone SE 3 could feature some kind of a Dynamic Island design, one thing is for sure: it won’t have this “familiar” 4.7-inch display design for longer as a 6.1-inch screen is expected.
