While some rumors have indicated that the iPhone SE 4 will feature a design
similar to the iPhone XR, a new report today says that there are still some
questions about specific features. Reliable display analyst Ross Young
indicates that Apple has not yet finalized the display size or technology
for the iPhone SE 4$B!D(B
display size and features
In a post on Twitter today, Young says that his sources say Apple is
considering a few different options for the iPhone SE 4 display. First,
it$B!G(B
s considering using a 6.1-inch OLED display from two different suppliers. It
is also reportedly considering LCD panels ranging from 5.7 inches to 6.1

Using a 6.1-inch OLED panel in the iPhone SE 4 would certainly be the more
premium option, as that$B!G(Bs the same display technology used in the
flagship
iPhone 14 models. It could, however, force Apple to raise the price more
than it would like to.
Meanwhile, using an LCD panel between 5.7 inches and 6.1 inches would be
more economical and help keep the iPhone SE price lower. Opting for the
lower end of that screen size range would also help ease the concerns of
existing iPhone SE users who don$B!G(Bt want a massive display.
Even if the screen size differs from the iPhone XR, which used a 6.1-inch
LCD panel, the overall design of the iPhone SE 4 can still resemble that
design.
This would include a notch cutout, smaller bezels, no Home button, and Touch
ID in the side button.
Young also says that the iPhone SE 4 is not expected until 2024. This is
contrary to other speculation that Apple was aiming for a spring 2023
release.
