The iPhone SE 4 has been a highly-anticipated handset for a while now, and we expect it to drop sometime next week. We just got another good look at it, courtesy of case manufacturer Spigen. The company uploaded images of its case to its website, along with an iPhone inside the case. The website says it’s an iPhone SE (3rd gen), but one look at the images shows that isn’t the case.

Of course, we already had a solid idea of what the iPhone SE 4 would look like. The renders don’t really come with any surprises; in many ways, the iPhone SE 4 looks like the iPhone 14, complete with the notch at the top. The case renders also show a single camera on the rear of the phone. One interesting change is the Alert Slider — the button on the side of your iPhone that enables/disables vibration — seems to have been replaced with an Action Button instead.

The renders provide even more confirmation that the iPhone SE 4 will come with a 6.1-inch display. This handset promises to pack a lot more power into its small frame than its predecessors did, making it a budget phone with non-budget power.

Apple isn’t holding an event next week, but insider Mark Gurman has suggested it could release on February 12 or 13, and February 18 at the latest. Rather than an event, Gurman says interested fans should look for a press release and a video on Apple’s YouTube channel. It goes without saying that you can also find any news related to the iPhone SE 4’s launch here at Digital Trends.

There’s still no official word yet on pricing, but those in the know say the iPhone SE 4 could be a bit more expensive than the current model, coming in closer to $499 than $429.

Some iPhone Duo owners are reporting cracks around the hinge

Deliveries of the iPhone Duo have started arriving to customers, and a small number of early owners are already reporting display defects with their units. As MacRumors first reported, several affected phones have developed cracks or bright lines along the inner screen, with the damage appearing near the hinge.

Reports of display failure have come from Australia, the U.S., Canada, and China. One Australian owner said his display cracked after fewer than 20 folds, despite no visible damage beforehand. Apple replaced the device, but it is still far too early to know whether these reports point to a wider hardware problem or simply a handful of defective units.

These tiny 3D-printed color routers could finally put an end to the grainy night photos that still haunt modern smartphones
A promising lab trick, still years from your phone.
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Grainy night photos are the flaw no phone launch ever seems to fix, so a potential solution that starts with a 3D printer got my attention.

Researchers at Singapore’s University of Technology and Design, along with partners in China and Japan, have 3D-printed tiny structures called color routers. Think of them as microscopic traffic directors for light. Instead of filtering light and throwing much of it away, they guide red, green and blue light to the right spots on a sensor (via Nature Communications).

This app turns the iPhone Duo into a pocket-sized Mac
Headroom uses macOS's built-in Screen Sharing to let users control their Mac from the foldable iPhone, without installing additional software on the computer.
Headroom App on Apple iPhone Duo controlling a Mac

The iPhone Duo has barely been out for a day, and someone's already found a way to run their Mac on it. Well, sort of. Headroom, a remote desktop app from MusicFlow, lets users control their Mac from Apple's new foldable phone, with an interface that adapts as the device opens, closes, and folds in half. Think of it as turning a pocket-sized phone into a miniature MacBook, minus the actual MacBook.
