A new iPhone SE 4 is rumoured to share a chassis with the iPhone 16

Rumours suggest the iPhone SE 4 might use the same rear chassis as the iPhone 16, bringing new features and a fresh look in spring 2025.

A new rumour is circulating that the next SE model might use the same rear chassis as the iPhone 16. This news comes from a reliable source, Fixed Focus Digital, who shared this information on Weibo. According to the tipster, the iPhone SE 4 uses “the same” backplate as the iPhone 16.

What might the iPhone SE 4 or iPhone 16 look like?

So, what will the iPhone SE 4 or iPhone 16 look like? They will resemble the iPhone 15. This design dates back to the 2020 iPhone 12, suggesting a continuation of a familiar look. Previous reports indicated that the iPhone SE 4 would feature a “modified” iPhone 14 chassis with Face ID. This has led many to believe that Apple is ready to move on from the iPhone 8 design, which has been the foundation for the SE models since the second generation.

New features and expected changes

The upcoming iPhone SE 4 is expected to bring several new features. One of the most notable is the Dynamic Island feature, which is a significant point of interest for many Apple enthusiasts. Additionally, the phone is rumoured to have a vertical rear camera layout, a departure from the previous horizontal setup.

Another significant change that might come with the iPhone SE 4 is the switch from an LCD to an OLED panel. This change would bring better display quality, richer colours, and deeper blacks. Despite these upgrades, Apple is reportedly aiming to keep the price of the iPhone SE 4 below US$500, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers.

Release date and design overhaul

The iPhone SE 4 is expected to debut in spring 2025. This release is highly anticipated, as it has been some time since the iPhone SE received a significant design overhaul. The current design, based on the iPhone 8, has been in use since the second-generation iPhone SE, and many believe it is long overdue for a change.

Rumours suggest the iPhone SE 4 will bring a fresh look and several new features while maintaining a budget-friendly price point. Apple fans eagerly await the official announcement to see how these rumours pan out and get their hands on the latest iPhone SE model.
