The iPhone SE 4 — the fourth-generation smartphone expected to succeed the iPhone SE (in 2022) — will feature a USB Type-C port, according to people familiar with the matter. The Cupertino company is expected to replace the Lightning port on the so-called iPhone 15 series of smartphones next month, and the upcoming models may also support modern USB connectors. At the same time, the iPhone SE 4 is also expected to support Face ID and may be equipped with an action button, which is expected to debut on the iPhone 15 Pro this year.
According to whistleblower Unknownz21 (@URedditor on X), the iPhone SE 4 will look similar to the iPhone 14 that launched last year. This suggests that the rumored phone will be the first in the SE series of smartphones to feature Apple’s notch. However, the leaker claims that, like its predecessor and every other SE model the company has launched, Apple’s fourth-generation smartphone will feature a single rear camera.

Apple has previously confirmed that future iPhone models will switch to USB Type-C ports instead of the company’s proprietary Lightning port. The company is expected to launch the iPhone 15 series of smartphones at an event on September 12, including the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The leaker claims that the iPhone SE 4 will also feature a USB Type-C port, which would make it the first SE-series smartphone to feature a modern USB port.
previous report suggestion The iPhone SE 4 is said to have a Touch ID sensor, but Unknownz21 claims the phone will support Face ID. The first- and second-generation iPhone SE models feature a fingerprint sensor on the front that also doubles as a home button. However, it seems likely that Apple will equip the phone with facial recognition for biometric authentication.
The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to feature an “action” button for the first time, similar to the one introduced on last year’s Apple Watch Ultra, capable of being programmed to perform certain tasks or launch certain shortcuts, apps and accessibility features. According to the whistleblower, the iPhone SE 4 may also be equipped with this action button, which is expected to replace the iconic mute switch on existing iPhone models.
