New iPhone SE Leak Reveals Apple’s Design Decision

How do you make an iPhone SE look and feel like an iPhone? The latest leaked images of the next iPhone illustrate how Tim Cook and his team will ensure the new iOS-powered smartphone fits into its portfolio The iPhone SE Will Not Get The Dynamic Island There has been a question about how advanced the iPhone SE screen would be. The cardinal-numbered iPhone line has moved from the iconic notch debuting on the iPhone X to a dynamic island. This saw a pill-shaped cutout for the selfie camera, FaceID camera, and other sensors. It was masked by a black widget area generated on the display, which could change size dynamically to offer contextual information and controls. The latest leaked images of 2025’s iPhone SE show that the SE will introduce the notch to Apple’s mid-range smartphone for the first time but will not go as far as the dynamic island. This decision will impact several factors. How The iPhone SE's Notch Will Benefit Apple The first is cost. The notched screen is based on older technology, and with a smartphone screen being one of the most expensive lines in the bill of materials, keeping the cost of the screen as low as possible will have a significant bearing on the cost of manufacturing the iPhone SE models. It’s also why I’d expect to see a screen that does not feature a variable refresh rate. Then, you need separation in Apple’s portfolio. The iPhone SE will bring as much of the Apple ecosystem (including the awkwardly backronymed Apple intelligence AI suite), but it can’t get everything otherwise there would be no temptation for consumers to upgrade to the iPhone 16. Keeping the latest screen technology—including the Dynamic Island—will play into that discussion. The iPhone SE Must Be An iPhone Finally, the move to the notch ensures that the iPhone SE is seen as “an iPhone.” The current iPhone SE model continues to use TouchID, and the bezels are highly visible. 2025’s iPhone SE will throw that out the window, with an almost edge-to-edge display and a notch that popular culture regards as belonging only to the iPhone.

iPhone 16e: Next Apple iPhone SE reveals itself in new leaked footage

The next iPhone SE has been pictured again in a new set of leaks. Currently thought of as the iPhone SE 4 or iPhone 16e, it still remains unclear whether the mid-range iPhone will line up with a Dynamic Island or Apple's infamous notch across its 6.1-inch display. Alex Alderson, Published 01/27/2025 Apple iPhone Leaks / Rumors Almost a fortnight has passed since Sonny Dickson shared the first photos of the long-awaited successor to the iPhone SE 3rd Gen (curr. $160.97 - renewed on Amazon). Now, leaker Majin Bu has published another round of photos that show the so-called iPhone SE 4 or iPhone 16e, which show the device in greater detail, which we have embedded below. The same leaker has also uploaded a short video of the same device, albeit still in dummy form. Nonetheless, the overall design shown should represent what companies are working against when designing third-party cases. For instance, the iPhone SE 4 has a single oversized rear-facing camera, which is reputed to be a ...
