New iPhones to get fewer buttons

New leaks bring information about changes in the design of Apple smartphones - both the main series iPhone 17 and the cheaper iPhone SE 4.

Apple is usually in no hurry to follow new trends, and the iPhone SE series smartphones are modeled on older models of the main iPhone series, which makes them look exceptionally old-fashioned. Will the fourth iPhone SE model face a similar fate? There have already been many conflicting rumors about it, but everything indicates that the new model will look more modern than the Apple iPhone SE 2022. New information shared by Mark Gurman from Bloomberg magazine confirms what the latest iPhone SE 4 render showed - the prototype of this smartphone will be the basic model iPhone 14. The large lower home button with Touch ID will therefore be replaced by Face ID with the help of a three-dimensional sensor next to the selfie camera, but we will not immediately jump to the dynamic island first shown in iPhone 14 Pro Max - the wide upper frame will first be replaced by an elongated notch.

Mark Gurman adds that the iPhone SE 4 may receive one of Apple's newer processors, which would potentially also enable the use of the Apple Intelligence function. The iPhone SE 4 is scheduled for 2025, and could debut with it new Mac Mini, MacBook Pro, iMac, MacBook Air, Mac Studio and Mac Pro models with the M4 processor, as well as new iPad Air models and Magic Keyboards. The iPad Pro may not see next year's model - its current version is supposedly so advanced that it does not need a successor yet.

In 2025, there will certainly be no shortage of the iPhone 17 series - there have also been many rumors about it, although most of them remain uncertain. The latest information about it was shared by leakster Majin Bu, according to whom the iPhone 17 Pro will definitely have fewer buttons than its predecessor. The reason would be the multifunctional touch Action Button, which in the iPhone 15 Pro replaced the muting slider, and in the new model it may become even more multifunctional, because it will also replace the volume buttons! We have already seen this type of solution in photos of the prototype known as Project Bongo - perhaps Apple will realize its long-term plans in 2025...
