The next iPhone SE 4 is set to feature a traditional notch instead of the newer Dynamic Island, according to display expert Ross Young. He claims the phone will look much like the iPhone 14 with its notch.
Just a few weeks ago, another source, Evan Blass, showed pictures suggesting the iPhone SE 4 would have a Dynamic Island. This was confusing because earlier rumors pointed towards a notch. Another leak from early 2024 also hinted at a Dynamic Island, but most signs point to Apple sticking with the notch for this budget phone.
Many rumors have pointed out that the iPhone SE 4 is built similarly to the iPhone 14, which had a notch. This makes sense if Apple is using the same body design for the SE version. Plus, screen protectors rumored to be for the iPhone SE 4 show a cutout for a notch, not a Dynamic Island.
When the iPhone SE 4 comes out, it will mark the end of Touch ID on iPhones, moving entirely to Face ID for unlocking. The phone is expected to have a 6.1-inch screen, one camera on the back, 8GB of RAM, and will run on an A17 Pro chip, which will support Apple’s smart features. Rumors are that we’ll see the iPhone SE 4 hit the market around April, in the spring.
