Noted serial leaker Sonny Dickson claims to have spotted a casing designed specifically for Apple’s still-untold iPhone SE 4, allegedly flaunting the device on social media. While the latest rumor surrounding this forthcoming device is consistent with most speculations suggesting a spring launch, a notable exception exists.
Rumors suggest that the iPhone SE 4 might feature a design overhaul, replacing Touch ID with Face ID on an all-display front, complemented by a 6.06-inch OLED display, a USB-C port, a horizontal 48-megapixel camera module, a notch, and possibly a multifunctional Motion button to swap the mute switch.
Rumors surrounding potential design changes appear to be substantiated by visual hints within the image. Despite initial appearances, a closer examination reveals a subtle recess above the quantity controls, seemingly designed as an aperture for a physical mute or silent switch. It’s possible that the case producer has intentionally omitted the button to avoid uncertainty about its continued relevance. Should Apple’s suppliers begin mass producing the device this month as expected, it is possible that Apple has opted against including a Motion button, despite all iPhone 16 models inheriting the feature from last year’s iPhone 15 Pro devices.
While some customers might view the absence of a programmable motion button as a major drawback, it’s likely that most iPhone SE enthusiasts wouldn’t consider it a game-changer? During our survey conducted 12 months ago, we found that nearly 50% of iPhone 15 Pro users who participated confessed to having forgotten about the Motion button altogether. Additionally, several respondents revealed that they had programmed it to function primarily as a toggle for muting or putting their device in silent mode. The findings suggest that the proposed button will be standardised for an additional niche cohort of energy-conscious consumers (i.e. Not likely to be the typical client base that would show interest in the affordably priced iPhone SE (4)?
Will Apple potentially release the iPhone SE 4 ahead of the Lunar New Year celebrations in January 2025, albeit with a relatively low chance? While past iPhone SE models debuted in March, a spring 2025 release seems plausible given this pattern.
