The iPhone SE 4 is expected to feature an iPhone 14-style design. This means it will ditch the Home button in favor of an edge-to-edge display with a notch.

As a refresher, the current iPhone SE was introduced in 2022 with a design that resembles the iPhone 8. It features a 4.7-inch display, the A15 Bionic chip, a 12MP Main camera, and a 7MP front-facing camera.

With those specs in mind, it’s clear the forthcoming iPhone SE 4 will be a major upgrade. The question, of course, is pricing. The current iPhone SE starts at $429 for 64GB of storage. If today’s rumor turns out to be true, we’d be looking at a price increase of as much as $120.
