TheiPhone SE 4is expected to launch in early 2025, and in many respects it sounds like a cheaperiPhone15. It’s getting a significant redesign that’ll make it look and work much more likeApple’s most recent iPhones.
However, a new report suggests that one of the rumoured new features isn’t coming to the SE 4 after all.

No action? No problem
If the case is indeed real, then it means the Action button is, well, missing in action. And I suspect that for most potential buyers, that’ll be a complete non-issue. I’ve had the button since it was introduced last year on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, and as soon as I programmed it I completely forgot it was there.
The only time I use it is to find out what I programmed it to do: change focus modes? Turn the flashlight on?
I know there are people out there who think the Action button is brilliant: they share very complex shortcuts on discussion forums, demonstrating the power of a programmable button combined with Apple’s scripting app. But those aren’t the kind of people who want to buy Apple’s best budget phone.
Button or no button, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to launch in early 2025. It’s possible that Apple may sneak it out at the very beginning of the year but that’s still rather unlikely; previous launches have been in the Spring. And January is whenSamsunglaunches its new Galaxy phones, so Apple won’t want to compete for headlines.
