iPhone SE 4 will finally get rid of the Home button with Touch ID. According to information released this weekend by Ross Yang (Display Supply Chain Consultant, DSCC Analyst), Apple’s new entry-level smartphone will also have a notch at the top of the screen and will use an IPS-type LCD display with a diagonal upwards. up to 6.1 inches.

Ross previously suggested that the next generation iPhone SE 4 would use Dynamic Island feature and round screen notch.

However, according to the latest information, this new product will still remain exclusive to the main line of iPhones (only possible for Pro models, including iPhone 15 Ultra).

The move to a notched full-screen design was also confirmed by insider Jon Prosser. In August, during an episode of the Geared Up podcast, Prosser stated that iPhone SE 4 was basically “iPhone XR”suggesting that Apple could even take advantage of the same body and design from this range to lower manufacturing costs on the SE 4 – while making important upgrades to a cheaper version of the smartphone.

Home button disappears, Touch ID remains

While the home button has been removed from the iPhone SE 4 to accommodate the full-screen design, the technology Touch ID for fingerprint recognition and smartphone unlock will remain. Market analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple should add this feature to the power button on the side of the phone, as it did on the latest iPad Air and iPad mini.

One point of uncertainty is the Face ID feature: it remains to be seen if facial recognition technology will be available on the iPhone SE 4 as it costs more. This decision should affect the size of the notch, given that there won’t be many components at the top of the display.
