“Modern” version of the iPhone SE imagined in concept

Despite many people thinking 4-inch phones are a thing of the past, there are millions of Apple customers out there ready to prove you the opposite, as their love for the old iPhone design never seems to end.

Apple is well aware that 4-inch iPhones are not done just yet, and this is one of the reasons the company launched the iPhone SE.

But with the iPhone X alive and kicking and with so many sources claiming that the notch and the Face ID facial recognition system would be expanded to all models, it makes sense for 4-inch iPhone fans to dream about a new design that could include these features.

The skilled designers over at Concept Creators have envisioned a modern version of the iPhone SE with the iPhone X goodies, including the notch and the facial recognition system. The vertical dual camera is missing, most likely because they think there’s not enough space inside the iPhone SE to offer such a feature, and this could actually be quite accurate given the dimensions of the device.

New model coming next spring?

As for the real chances to get an upgrade to the iPhone SE, it’s believed one such release could take place in early 2018, though it’s worth knowing that information in this regard is still very scarce with no leaks happening so far.

On the other hand, rumor has it that Apple would upgrade its entire iPhone lineup the next year with a Plus-sized version of the iPhone X, so maybe at some point it makes sense for Apple to launch a smaller version in the form of a second-generation SE as well.

If a new iPhone SE goes live, it should all take place in the spring, approximately two years after the debut of the original model in March 2016. Hardware upgrades are obviously very likely, though it’ll be interesting to see how Apple upgrades the design of the phone as well.
