Insider says iPhone SE 4 may get notch instead of Dynamic Island

The new iPhone SE 4 is expected to have a notch, not the Dynamic Island feature, as some sources have previously suggested.
Here's What We Know
Well-known analyst Ross Young said that the smartphone will have a "notch similar to the iPhone 14", which contradicts a recent leak that showed the Dynamic Island.
Earlier this month, leak leader Evan Blass shared images purportedly showing the design of the iPhone SE 4, but these images showed an iPhone with a Dynamic Island instead of the previously discussed notch. Another leak that appeared in February 2024 also suggested that the iPhone SE 4 would feature a Dynamic Island, but most other sources point to a notch as a more likely option.
Notch like iPhone 14 is correct

Many rumours hint that the iPhone SE 4 will be similar to the iPhone 14, and therefore have a design similar to the iPhone 14. The iPhone 14 had a notch, not a Dynamic Island, so a notch seems logical if Apple is indeed using the iPhone 14's body for the iPhone SE 4. In addition, the likely screen protector for the iPhone SE 4 is a notch design, not a Dynamic Island.
With the release of the iPhone SE 4, Apple will end the use of Touch ID in the iPhone lineup, and all new models will feature Face ID. In addition, the iPhone SE 4 is likely to feature a 6.1-inch screen, a single-lens camera, 8GB of RAM, and an A17 Pro chip that will support Apple's artificial intelligence capabilities.
The iPhone SE 4 is expected to be unveiled in the spring, probably in April.
