We always want to hear about the advancements of the most avant-garde models of the iPhone, but we must not leave out one of the phones that Apple sells the most: the iPhone SE. Its third generation could see the light of day in a few months and with very interesting evolutions, so we are going to collect what do we know about this ‘iPhone SE 3’ which has already been circulating rumors for a while.
What features will the iPhone SE 3 have?
If Apple decided to follow the same strategy as with the first two generations of the iPhone SE, this third generation would equip the A15 Bionic chip that carry the iPhone 13 (I’m assuming they won’t have the version with 5 GPU cores that the iPhone 13 Pro has).
In Cupertino, they would cut costs by recycling the design of some previous models of the phone to sell its maximum performance features in a cheap terminal. The screen would also be recycled and be LCD, and the rear camera could be an iPhone XR or iPhone 11 derivative.
In the same way we would not see Face ID: the iPhone SE 3 would adopt a button lock with Touch ID like the one we already use in the iPad mini and the iPad Air. The consequence, according to rumors, is that the notch it would disappear because the sensors it houses would no longer be needed. In its place, we would have a simple hole for the front camera, much more discreet, and for Face ID, we would have to wait another year or two.
The base storage for the iPhone SE 3 is reportedly 64GB, which is half the base 128GB that the iPhone 13 currently has; and for the first time, it would have 5G connectivity. However, the arrival of this phone would mean the end of the traditional button of the classic iPhone (the last one left for sale like this is precisely the second generation iPhone SE).
What design will the iPhone SE 3 have?
This is the most interesting point of the rumors about this iPhone SE 3. For the first time we would move away from a small terminal to inherit the design of the past iPhone XR, which would transform the iPhone SE 3 into a fairly large phone following market trends.
The title of ‘little iPhone’ would certainly go to the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini, and we probably wouldn’t see models of this size in the next few generations. People were won over by the large signs.
When will the iPhone SE 3 be available?
Right now, rumors indicate that Apple will keep the tradition of launching this new iPhone in the spring, so we could see it in less than six months presented at an event. around March or April 2022. The leakers have not yet dared to specify anything more precise.
Keep in mind that we are talking about hearsay, so that may change. It would also not be unreasonable to think of a presentation at WWDC22, already more around June. We are in the midst of a components and logistics crisis which can cause delays and which can affect Apple’s launch schedule.
How much will the iPhone SE 3 cost?
The next iPhone SE 3 should have the same base price of 489 dollars during its launch, in order to remain the economical alternative to the rest of the more current and more expensive models and to act as a lever of entry into the Apple ecosystem for those who use Android devices. We might see slight variations due to changes in currency values, but it shouldn’t be too big. In the United States, the price would be $ 400, excluding taxes.
