iPhone SE 4 Dummies Feature iPhone 14-Style Design With No Action Button or Camera Control

Apple is planning to introduce a new version of the iPhone SE this year, and alleged dummy models are starting to leak out. Sonny Dickson today shared some images of an ‌iPhone‌ SE 4 dummy model, giving us insight into what it could look like.

For those unfamiliar with dummy models, they are non-functional mockups of new devices that case makers create based on information that leaks out of Apple's partner factories. There is big money in being the first to have a case for a new device, and over the years, leaked dummy models have turned out to be accurate in most cases.

Rumors have suggested the next ‌iPhone‌ SE will look like the ‌iPhone‌ 14, and that seems to be accurate based on the images. There's an iPhone-14 style chassis with an aluminum band, a glass back, and a single-lens rear camera.

There have been suggestions that the ‌iPhone‌ SE 4 could get an Action Button or the Camera Control button that's available on iPhone 16 models, but neither of those features is depicted on these dummy models. That doesn't mean it won't happen, but it does make it less likely because case makers would need to accommodate these features.

The upcoming ‌iPhone‌ SE has been largely referred to as the ‌iPhone‌ SE 4, but there was a recent rumor indicating that Apple might call it the ‌iPhone‌ 16E. Along with the visible features from the dummy model, the ‌iPhone‌ SE is expected to include a faster A17 Pro chip that supports Apple Intelligence, an Apple-designed modem chip, and 8GB RAM. While it will only have that single camera, the camera is the same 48-megapixel Wide camera in the current ‌iPhone 16‌.

We are expecting to see Apple debut the next ‌iPhone‌ SE sometime in March or April, and it will continue to be the company's lowest-cost device. It could go up in price a bit, but Apple is said to be aiming to keep it below $500.

Honestly, not sure who was expecting Action Button or Camera Control. Those would make it closer and closer to iPhone 16. This is supposed to be sub $500 phone after all, not cannibalize existing models.

If this has 120hz id seriously consider sidegrading from a 15 Pro
In what world would the SE receive higher refresh rates before the non-pro models?
I only wish Apple would adopt 90Hz at a minimum on non-pros so I don't have to hear about it anymore.

Looks like an iPhone 4 and that’s not a bad thing.

I might just replace my iPhone 8 with this device.

The iPhone 14 brought us the “easier to fix chassis design”, which makes it more desirable than any previous recent device, including the Pro phones.

As long as the one camera is good, that sounds sufficient to me.

I’m sad that it will only have USB 2.

I still assume it will take the iPhone 14’s price point.
