iPhone SE 4 Design To Be Based Almost Entirely On The iPhone 14, But With A Few Upgrades Such As USB-C, Action Button & More

The iPhone SE 4 launch might be undecided due to several factors, but more details concerning its appearance and features indicate that Apple has not given up on its low-cost lineup.

People familiar with the matter have said that Apple is internally referring to the USB-C port as the E85 connector, and we believe that when soldered to the iPhone SE 4, it will grant the device capabilities that exist in current-generation models, such as being able to hook the handset to a 4K HDR monitor or connect to a wired network using a USB-C to Ethernet dongle. However, we do not believe that the iPhone SE 4’s USB-C port will support any Thunderbolt version.

Apple is apparently testing five different designs for the camera bump, with all five touting minor
