Amid the craze, and excitement of the newly launched iPhone 15 series— iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max, the leaks for the next iPhone SE have already begun to surface.
MacRumors reports that the iPhone SE 4 is expected to take inspiration from the iPhone 14, and it is internally codenamed “Ghost”. Some notable features that are expected in the inexpensive iPhone are said to be:

- Action Button, a replacement for Mute/Unmute Switch as seen in iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max
- iPhone 14 chassis
- USB-C Port, putting the final nail to Apple’s proprietary Lightning Port
- Single 48-MP rear camera means no dual-camera
- OLED display
- Face ID, finally on an iPhone “inexpensive” SE
- In-house 5G Modem, most probably confirming reports of Apple working on an in-house 5G modem and not relying on third-party suppliers
What to expect from iPhone SE 4, as per the rumours
iPhone SE 4, based on iPhone 14 chassis, may lack curved edges like the iPhone 15 and has an undecided camera bump design. These upgrades may seem too good for now but could become cost-effective by its 2024 or 2025 release. It could potentially feature USB-C, OLED, and Face ID, but the 48MP sensor and Action button are uncertain due to cost considerations.
