    Don’t think. It’d be hard to sell the same housing a third time. Also, there are rumors of the SE4 to receive the iPhone 14 housing this making the SE3 the last one to provide TouchID.

      I hope it gets a 13 mini look instead cuz the whole point of the SE is a smaller phone with up to date chip but older display and other hardware

        Doesn’t seem logical. All the SE devices so far has used housing of older models (iPhone 5S and 8) thus making the devices cheap. The SE series always used already existing parts and housing. A device with a TouchID-inegrated power button would mean a new housing never seen before and a new assembly line. That would make the SE4 too expensive to make it worth.

      yeah was just joking, i think it would be infuriating having the same design that has existed for a decade. but also the next SE will obviously be more expensive when they redesign it, probably 499

        I think an extra 100 bucks will be the least of its problems. I use an iPhone 11 now and I find it too big. The SE and 12/13 mini had great size and both are ceased.

          i understand, i prefer smaller phones too because i like them pocketable. but well, the market dictates large phones so here we are
