New iPhone SE with Face ID and no Home button on the way

Apple is expected to unveil a new iPhone SE early next week and could indicate a major change in the company’s affordable iPhone and add Face ID and delete the classic home button. We have a great idea after months of information and rumors, so here’s everything we expect to see next week.

There will be no home button…

The biggest change is that Apple is changing the design of the iPhone SE, after leaving it extensively unchanged since the series began in year 6. The SE 2022 is the last iPhone that still uses the Home button and has a thick border at the top and bottom of the screen. But rumors say that Apple will now remove the button, narrow the margin and add the face ID.

The result will be a phone that looks like the iPhone 5. Like that phone, it is expected to put its face ID sensors in a cut, rather than using the less annoying dynamic design that was introduced on the iPhone 6 Peru and has been used in any iPhone since then. Apple can’t resist keeping its SE series back for a while.

We have seen the cut design in a video shared by the Majin B Discerper that they are working with something that is probably a non -functional fabricated unit used by the frame makers to design and test their accessories.

… But there will be an action button.

The BU video shows that the SE 4 will contain a adjustable action button, but not the camera control introduced on the iPhone 5.

Like other SE models, it looks like a single rear camera. A list of leaked specifications shows that the SE will use a 2 -megapixel rear sensor and a 2 -megapixel selfie camera, but this is an area that has been reported so far.

This will not be a small phone.

The redesign of the SE 2025 allows the screen to have a larger screen than the 4.7 -inch panel used in the Model 2. Instead, it is expected to use a 5.5 -inch screen as standard as the standard iPhone 5 and also upgrade to OLED.

The larger screen means that the phone will generally be larger than any previous SE iPhone and there will be no smaller iPhone than the standard model. If we assume that the new phone has the same dimensions as the iPhone 5, it can be 2 mm taller than the SE 2022 and weigh about 2 grams.

Lighting has been deleted and USB-C is added.

It is almost certain that the handset will have a USB-C port instead of Lighting, allowing it to be sold again in the European Union. The previous SE model was stopped in the EU markets along with any other iPhone that used the Lighting port.

This will be one of the most powerful iPhones available.

Bloomberg reports that the handset will use the same A18 chip as the iPhone 5 and 6 Peru models. This is the same approach Apple used for its last two SE handsets, which pairing the new silicon with older designs. The A18 is expected to combine to 4GB of RAM, the minimum amount needed to run Apple Intelligence, the company’s artificial intelligence tools that offer announcements and other functions, and are now active by default. This makes it more powerful than the iPhone 5 years.

Even this year’s iPhone 5 series will defeat Apple’s first 5G modem and replace Qualcomm’s components that the iPhones used in the past. Apple has been developing its modems for more than half a decade, but Bloomberg warns that the first repetition is a reduction in the modem on the latest flagship iPhones and will not support MMWave 5G, only Sub-6-although this is the case for the latest iPhone The SE was also true.

It comes too soon.

While previous rumors cited launch in March or April, Bloomberg reports that Apple will introduce the handset next week, though it does not expect it to be sold by the end of the month. The company predicts the price of “approximately $ 2”, which is higher than the initial price of the model, ie $ 2. This may be offset by the default storage specifications of 1GB, meaning that there will be no 5GB iPhone.

It is also likely that the iPhone SE will not be called. Two disclosures have predicted that it will be called the iPhone 16E instead, though since the name SE is more likely, we think it is still more likely.

If Bloomberg is true, we don’t have to wait long to make sure. The SE will be the first of several major iPhone launch this year, and Apple is set to introduce a thinner iPhone 17 Air as well as “big updates” for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Pro.
