While we person already got a fewer cleanable indicators astir what to expect from the fourth-generation iPhone SE, determination are 3 superior questions looming implicit the instrumentality astatine the modern-day time.

Chinese tract MyDrivers and and leaker Jon Prosser judge that the ‌iPhone SE‌ is acceptable to transport to an iPhone XR-like layout successful its adjacent incarnation, which would impact doing distant with the Home fastener and including a "notch" cutout connected the apical of the show. The speech appears successful each likelihood due to the fact that Apple's "SE" products person ever utilized the dess of older gadgets.

The ‌iPhone SE‌ is probable to motorboat aft the merchandise of 2023's iPhone 15 lineup. The 2 wide ‌iPhone 15‌ fashions are anticipated to relation the A16 Bionic spot from this yr's iPhone 14 Pro and ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max, truthful it seems practicable that the ‌iPhone SE‌ tin besides get this spot – mainly since the modern ‌iPhone SE‌ already contains the A15 Bionic chip.

The instrumentality isn't anticipated to motorboat till 2024, and insightful show expert Ross Young these days said that Apple is mulling implicit aggregate decisions associated with the subsequent-generation ‌iPhone SE‌.

According to Young, Apple is considering displays betwixt 5.7-inches and 6.1-inches successful size from 2 one-of-a-kind providers for the fourth-technology ‌iPhone SE‌. It is worthy noting that the ‌iPhone‌ XR, the instrumentality that the subsequent-technology ‌iPhone SE‌ is purportedly based on, featured a 6.1-inch show. Moreover, Apple expert Ming-Chi Kuo formerly stated that Apple was moving connected an ‌iPhone SE‌ with this circumstantial show length.

Both the five.7- and six.1-inch show sizes were rumored wrong the beyond, and Apple present not yet creating a precise past enactment explains wherefore we clasp to perceive astir two chiseled sheet sizes.

In his maximum latest record connected the problem, Young said that the 5.7- to six.1-inch presentations being taken into information by means of Apple relation LCD technology, conscionable similar the modern ‌iPhone SE‌, but the institution is besides weighing up intelligibly opting for a 6.1-inch OLED display, the likes of that person been provided connected the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13.

The ‌iPhone‌ X released successful 2017 arsenic the archetypal OLED ‌iPhone‌, and ever since the motorboat of the ‌iPhone 12‌ successful 2020, each of Apple's cardinal ‌iPhone‌ models diagnostic OLED displays. OLED amusement epoch is greater high-priced than LCD, nevertheless it tin supply higher efficiency, "true" blacks, excessive evaluation, and precocious dynamic variety. It is imaginable that OLED panels person travel down successful complaint sufficiently for Apple to use them for the ‌iPhone SE‌, that's placed arsenic an access-level tool, peculiarly due to the fact that it isn't acceptable to motorboat for implicit a 12 months.

In shifting to an all-display layout similar the ‌iPhone‌ XR, determination could astir apt not beryllium country for a capacitive Touch ID Home fastener wrong the ‌iPhone SE‌'s backside bezel, truthful Apple reputedly has nary penchant but to connection a ‌Touch ID‌ Side button, below-show ‌Touch ID‌ era, oregon Face ID.

The ‌Touch ID‌ fastener astatine the iPad Air
Multiple reports, consisting of accusation from MyDrivers and Ming-Chi Kuo, urge that Apple is readying to adhd a ‌Touch ID‌ Side fastener to the ‌iPhone SE‌. The modern time iPad, ‌iPad Air‌, and iPad mini fashions diagnostic ‌Touch ID‌ included into their Top buttons, nevertheless nary iPhones supply this functionality but. As Apple's cheapest ‌iPhone‌ imparting and to support expenses down, the ‌iPhone SE‌ has ne'er had ‌Face ID‌ generation, sticking with a capacitive ‌Touch ID‌ Home fastener similar older ‌iPhone‌ fashions. As such, it would marque consciousness for the ‌iPhone SE‌ to beryllium the superior ‌iPhone‌ mentation to payment the newer Side button-style ‌Touch ID‌ implementation.

Since, according to Young, the ‌iPhone SE‌ is expected to diagnostic a notch connected the apical of the show, it's besides imaginable that it tin walk ‌Touch ID‌ and follow ‌Face ID‌ arsenic a substitute. In 2024, ‌Face ID‌ whitethorn beryllium 7 years antique, meaning that capable clip whitethorn additionally person handed to warrant tricking the exertion down to an access-level device. Since nary longer adjacent flagship ‌iPhone‌ models connection under-show ‌Touch ID‌ epoch as but, this seems similar the astir not apt alternate for Apple to present to its cheapest ‌iPhone‌ version. The authentication exertion Apple volition prime retired for the fourth-technology ‌iPhone SE‌ whitethorn additionally crook retired to beryllium clearer if greater statistic astir the instrumentality emerges successful the coming months.
