New iPhone SE 4 case leak highlights three things to expect

Apple leaker has posted an apparent image of a case designed for the upcoming 4, which is expected to launch next spring. Although the images don’t showcase any groundbreaking new details, they do highlight some things that we should expect with the iPhone SE.

Although the 4 is expected to be based on the iPhone 14 design , it does not have the same dual camera setup as the iPhone 14. This means there’ll be no ultra wide camera, although the is still expected to have a 48MP main sensor, the same one as the iPhone 15.

So, even though you won’t have two physical rear camera sensors, you will still have two focal lengths, 1x (which uses the 48MP sensor and bins down to 12MP), and 2x, which zooms in on the middle 12MP of the 48MP sensor, which Apple describes as providing optical quality.

Although earlier rumors suggested that the device would have an Action Button, more recent leaks (as well as this case leak) don’t seem to suggest so. There’s still a cutout for the mute switch in the upper left, rather than another button, like cases for the iPhone 15 Pro and later.

No leaks suggested that Apple’s cheapest iPhone would have the new Camera Control slider/button introduced on the iPhone 16 lineup, and these cases suggest that as well. Theres no opening in the lower right side of the case, nor is there any cutout for a potential conductive crystal button like Apple’s cases.

Apple is expected to debut 4 next spring, for around $500. The upcoming iPhone will likely have a new 6.1-inch OLED display, USB-C, a new 48MP camera, Face ID, and more.
