Claimed iPhone SE 4 dummy units show notch instead of Dynamic Island

The video isn't clear, but the top of this dummy unit does seem to show a notch-style position for the front camera. A new video claiming to show a dummy iPhone SE 4 unit contradicts recent rumors saying that it will have a Dynamic Island rather than the older-style notch.
It's regularly been claimed that the forthcoming iPhone SE 4 will be based on the iPhone 14, which featured a notch. The most recent rumor, however, was that the iPhone SE 4 would instead feature a Dynamic Island. Leaker Majin Bu has shown off what he or she claims are dummy iPhone SE 4 units, and done so with a series of photos and one video. As it's a dummy unit, the iPhone is not working and so the screen is completely blank, but it still appears to show the old-style notch.
Here's what the iPhone SE 4 looks like pic.twitter.com/pEyIAJ34VR. Dummy units are made by case manufacturers, based on the best information they have, which may often be no more than rumors. Since their aim is to make cases that fit the device, there's usually no reason to care what the screen itself shows or comprises.
Conceivably, there could be cases that have cutouts for the Live Activities part of an iPhone screen, although the space those take up varies. However, Live Activities also need an always-on display, and it is not expected that the iPhone SE 4 will have that feature.
