Apple iPhone SE 4 Expected to Feature Notch Instead of Dynamic Island

Conflicting reports on the design of Apple's budget iPhone have been clarified by credible sources, suggesting a move to the iPhone 14's notch design.

  • The iPhone SE 4 is anticipated to adopt the iPhone 14's notch design, according to reliable display analyst Ross Young, contradicting earlier rumors of a Dynamic Island feature.
  • This decision aligns with Apple's strategy to distinguish its budget model from flagship devices like the iPhone 16, which feature the Dynamic Island.
  • The device is expected to launch in March or April 2025, featuring a 6.1-inch OLED display, an A17 or A18 Bionic chip, and Face ID instead of Touch ID.
  • Cost considerations, such as the use of older screen technology, likely influenced the choice to include a notch rather than the Dynamic Island.
  • The iPhone SE 4 will also introduce USB-C charging, a single 48MP rear camera, and Apple's AI-integrated features, positioning it as a significant upgrade within the SE lineup.
