The new phone will replace the current iPhone SE (2022), currently the cheapest option in Apple's iPhone offerings. That's a pretty modest position most of the time, but if you ask me, there's a strong chance that the iPhone SE 4 will be the most exciting phone Apple releases this year.

A leaker has posted iPhone SE 4 dummy unit photos, potentially giving us the first unofficial look at Apple’s next budget smartphone.

A Twitter user called Sonny Dickson shared images of what looks like a dummy for the device, and it looks like a killer phone. As previous rumours had anticipated, the iPhone SE 4 looks set to ditch the old school chassis, moving to a design which is all-screen with flat-edges – similar to modern flagships like the iPhone 16.

In fact, the upcoming handset is rumored to be based very much on the iPhone 14 that launched in 2022 (just like the current iPhone SE). That means Face ID and a display notch, and an increase in screen size – reportedly up to 6.1 inches from 4.7 inches.

Prominent phone leaker Sonny Dickson posted to X a pair of images that he says are the “first look at the iPhone SE 4 dummy.” While we don’t get a clear look at the front to know just how big the notch is, the two images reveal some key features of the next budget phone.

The iPhone SE 4 is expected to launch in April 2025, nearly two years after the previous iPhone SE 3. Here is how it might look like.

If you are considering upgrading your iPhone or switching over from Android but want the cheapest new iPhone possible, it’s worth holding fire until the new iPhone SE is announced. If Apple can match the same £429 price as the current model, it will be one of the best bargains in tech.

As more details on the iPhone SE arrive, the latest images confirm the design changes coming to Apple’s upcoming smartphone.

Leaked images of the next iPhone SE provide an early glimpse at its updated design and reveal new details about the budget-friendly device, including some color options.
