The latest leaked images of 2025’s iPhone SE show that the SE will introduce the notch to Apple’s mid-range smartphone for the first time but will not go as far as the dynamic island. This decision will impact several factors.

Apple is set to unveil a revamped iPhone SE as early as next week, featuring an iPhone 14-inspired design, Face ID, an A18 chip, and Apple Intelligence—potentially boosting sales in key markets like China and India.

Based solely on the rumors about what's changing with this particular model, the iPhone SE 4 sounds like a pretty big deal. On the hardware side alone, Apple is likely to ditch the dated iPhone 8-era design in favor of more modern iPhone 14 -esque look, with an edge-to-edge screen interrupted only by a notch.
