The iPhone SE has been Apple’s ‘solution’ for anyone looking to save money on a ‘true’ iPhone without spending top dollar on their latest flagship. Rumors of the new iPhone SE 4 are brewing and there may be hopes that this budget phone will receive a big upgrade from Apple – sporting the same design and hardware as the iPhone 14 just for less cash. What does that mean for potential buyers?
iPhone SE Design: A More Modern Look
According to rumors, the iPhone SE 4 could go for the iPhone 14’s look, ditching the old iPhone 8 feel of previous SE models. That means we will get a more modern theme, not to mention a nearly bezel-less display, Face ID, and no Home button. This could make the SE 4 for many users look almost indistinguishable from the iPhone 14, giving it a premium feel on a budget-friendly option.
That would be a major selling point of the SE 4 if true. For those interested in a slick, modern iPhone without breaking flagship prices, the SE 4 is irresistible.
iPhone SE Camera and Other Features
This is where the iPhone SE 4 could improve over its predecessor, as the camera might not offer the dual camera the iPhone 14 is famous for. But if it managed to get just a single lens camera in there, Apple could implement some software features such as Night Mode and Deep Fusion, which improve low light photography and processing of the image.
The iPhone SE 4 could also get other features like 5G connectivity and MagSafe compatibility, closing the edge even more between it and Apple’s flagbearers.

Final Thoughts
If the iPhone SE 4 takes the iPhone 14’s design and hardware, it could be a huge step forward for Apple’s budget line. The SE 4 is perfect for people who don’t want to spend $800 (or more) on a top-notch iPhone but still want a premium-looking phone with excellent performance as they would get with an iPhone 14.
These details already seem unlikely to be official, but if this is true then the iPhone SE 4 will change what it means to get a budget iPhone.
