We may have just gotten our clearest look yet at Apple’s upcoming affordable iPhone SE, shown in both video and photos of what appears to be either a real device or a convincing dummy unit. Contrary to earlier reports suggesting the next SE would feature the Dynamic Island design, this model seems to retain the older notch.
Like previous iPhone SE models, it has a single rear camera, but this one may be the first in the line to feature a USB-C port — a new requirement for phones sold in the EU.

The biggest surprise is that it still uses Apple’s older notched display, rather than the Dynamic Island seen in recent iPhones. The selfie camera’s placement, just left of center, matches the iPhone 14’s notch setup, and the leaker confirmed this in replies.
While this isn’t our first look at the SE 4, it’s the clearest. Two weeks ago, leaker Sonny Dickson shared photos of similar-looking dummy units, which he later put up for sale.
The SE 4 is rumored to feature an OLED display and enough RAM to support Apple’s Intelligence features, with a potential launch around March or April — similar to the SE 3, which debuted in March 2022.
