The iPhone SE 4: The Most Anticipated of the SE Line.

If you thought Apple would surprise us on Wednesday, February 12, this last-minute leak has ruined (or maybe enhanced) the surprise. The iPhone SE 4 has been fully revealed thanks to a leak from accessory manufacturer Spigen. And with that, we now know what the design will look like, what new features it will bring, and what mysteries remain unsolved.

Will this be the most anticipated budget iPhone in recent years?. Keep reading because what you’ll see next might change your perception of Apple’s SE lineup forever.

This is the iPhone SE 4 just hours before its launch.

📱 iPhone SE 4 design revealed: Goodbye Home button, hello Face ID

If you liked the iPhone 14’s design, then you’ll love the new iPhone SE 4. Leaked images confirm that this model will feature a modern design with flat edges, a glass back, and an aluminum frame. Essentially, it’s a “lite” version of the iPhone 14, but with one key difference: a single rear camera.

And that’s not all. The classic Home button is gone, meaning Apple has finally ditched the Touch ID on its budget iPhone. Now, the iPhone SE 4 will feature a 6.1-inch display with a notch, confirming the arrival of Face ID on this model.

iPhone SE 4 Features	Details
Design	Based on the iPhone 14
Display	6.1-inch notch display
Materials	Glass and aluminum
Biometrics	Face ID (no more Touch ID)
Rear Camera	Single-lens

While its design closely resembles the iPhone 14, it won’t feature Dynamic Island. Apple has opted to reuse iPhone 14 displays to keep costs low.

And here comes the big surprise… 👇

🆕 The Action Button arrives on the iPhone SE 4: An unexpected upgrade

Remember the Action Button on the iPhone 15 Pro? . Yes, the one that replaced the mute switch and became a customizable button. Well, the leak has revealed that the iPhone SE 4 will also have it.

This is a huge technological leap for the SE lineup, as it was previously exclusive to the Pro models. With this Action Button, you’ll be able to customize it for:

✅ Instantly launching the camera 📸
✅ Opening a specific app 📲
✅ Turning on the flashlight 🔦
✅ Starting a voice recording 🎙️
✅ Triggering iOS shortcuts 🏃‍♂️

If Apple is serious about bringing premium features to its budget iPhone, what else could we expect?

📷 Camera and processor: More power or just recycling?

Here we step into speculative territory, because while the iPhone SE 4’s design is nearly confirmed, its camera and processor remain a mystery.

So far, the SE series has stuck with a 12 MP camera. However, rumors suggest that the iPhone SE 4 could upgrade to 48 MP, enabling a high-quality 2x optical zoom.

Looking at Apple’s history, there are two possibilities:

1️⃣ Conservative option: Apple keeps the iPhone 14’s 12 MP camera to differentiate it from the premium models.
2️⃣ Ambitious option: Apple gives it a 48 MP sensor to justify the update and improve camera performance.

Regarding the processor, things are clearer. Apple typically uses its latest chips in the SE lineup, making it likely that the SE 4 will feature either the A17 Pro or even the A18, the same chip found in the iPhone 16.

Specification	iPhone SE 4 (estimated)
Rear Camera	12 MP or 48 MP
Front Camera	12 MP
Processor	A17 Pro or A18
RAM	6 GB

If Apple ends up choosing the A18, we’d be looking at a budget iPhone with the most powerful chip on the market, which would be a game-changer in this price segment.

💰 Price: The key to the iPhone SE 4’s success

We know that the biggest selling point of the SE lineup is its price, and this new model will be no exception.

📌 The iPhone SE 3 currently costs $429, and rumors suggest that the iPhone SE 4 could be priced at $499 (~€599 in Europe).

Compared to the iPhone 16 lineup, which is expected to start at over $1,200, the difference is massive. This makes the iPhone SE 4 an extremely attractive option for those who want a modern iPhone without breaking the bank.

Model	Price (USD)	Estimated Price (EUR)
iPhone SE 3 (2022)	$429	€529
iPhone SE 4 (2025)	$499	€599
iPhone 16 (2025)	$1,199	€1,299

The big question is: Will Apple keep this price without sacrificing too much?

📅 Official launch: When will we see it in action?

Mark your calendars: The iPhone SE 4 will be officially unveiled on Wednesday, February 12.

This is a crucial moment for Apple, as this device could redefine the concept of a “budget iPhone.”

🚀 If Apple manages to balance design, performance, and price, this model could become one of the best-selling phones of the year.

🌍 The MundoVirtual perspective: Is the iPhone SE 4 worth it?

From MundoVirtual’s point of view, the iPhone SE 4 represents a turning point for the SE lineup. With its revamped design, Face ID, and the Action Button, Apple is finally taking its budget iPhones seriously.

However, the lack of Dynamic Island and the possible absence of a 48 MP camera might disappoint some users.

Is it worth buying? .That will depend on its final price. If Apple sticks to $499, it’ll be an absolute success. If the price creeps up, it might lose its appeal.
