iPhone SE to get major design upgrade in 2024. Display analyst Ross Young claims that the fourth-generation iPhone SE will feature a larger display with a notch.
In March this year, Apple introduced the third-generation iPhone SE with an advanced A15 Bionic chip, 5G network support, a 4.7-inch display, and an improved camera and battery. However, its design is the same design as its second-generation model with a Touch ID home button and thicker bezels like the iPhone 8.

Previously, Young that the 2024 iPhone SE model would feature a 5.7-inch or 6.1-inch display and a hole-shaped cutout for a front-facing camera meaning that it would not support Face ID authentication.
Revising his assessment, Young told MacRumors that the 2024 entry-level iPhone would feature a larger 6.1-inch LCD display and a notch, not a hole-shaped cutout for the selfie camera. This speculation hints at support for Face ID authentication finally coming to the entry-level iPhone. However, the size of the new notch is not known. Maybe Apple will reduce like it did on the new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus.
Young’s latest claims are corroborated by Jon Prosser who has a decent track record of Apple-related leaks. Prosser said that the future entry-level iPhone would get an overhaul with a 6.1-inch display, Face ID authentication, slimmer bezels, and a notch at the top of the display like the iPhone XR but it might feature an improved dual camera system.
While the iPhone XR features the same design as the iPhone X and iPhone XS, it has a singular rear-end lens. The camera specifications of the iPhone XR and iPhone SE are the exact same, both sporting a rear 12-megapixel sensor with an f/1.8 aperture. However, with the new design, Apple could add better sensors to the device, enabling Night Mode.
And since the current model is powered by an A15 Bionic chip, the 2024 iPhone SE 4 would feature A16 which is currently used in iPhone 14 Pro to deliver faster performance, improved graphics, and power efficiency.
