The iPhone SE XNUMX is expected to be launched before the end of March, two thousand twenty-two.

When will the iPhone SE XNUMX be released? A new report from an industry analyst suggests that it will be in the first quarter of XNUMX, that is, in the month of January, February or March, and surely the end of that period will be more expensive than face the beginning.

The prediction comes from Taiwanese research firm TrendForce (via MacRumors) and largely matches what we've heard before. The second generation iPhone SE started in April XNUMX, so we have a gap of about a couple of years.

As other sources have also mentioned, the TrendForce report states that this time 5G will be added to the mix. Although there are very few design changes, the phone is expected to come with the latest A15 processor already included in the iPhone XNUMX.

Let's talk about the specifications.

At this point, we're expecting the third-gen iPhone SE to come with the exact same XNUMX-inch screen as the current model, and it sounds like Apple is happy to stick with LCD. At the moment, instead of moving to the used OLED screens. on flagship iPhone models.

As for the internal components, we mention the A15 processor, which should ensure the speedy performance of this solid phone. The second-generation iPhone SE only has three GB of RAM and starts with sixty-four GB of internal storage, so expect those two specs to see an increase next year as well.

When it comes to cameras, the iPhone SE XNUMX could be the first in the range to feature a dual-lens camera module on the back – we haven't heard any rumors on this yet, but Apple would be exposed to look backwards. . If I released a phone in XNUMX with just a single-lens rear camera.

When the iPhone SE XNUMX breaks the cover, it probably won't be called the iPhone SE XNUMX - if Apple continues with its previous strategy, it will simply be called the iPhone SE again, with a "XNUMXrd generation" or "XNUMX" label. twenty-two" sometimes used on the side for clarity.

This makes life quite difficult for tech writers and commentators, especially with iPhone SE Plus gossip circulating as well. As the name suggests, the Plus model is expected to be larger than the standard iPhone SE, with a rumored XNUMX-inch screen size.

Rather confusingly, one analyst claimed that the iPhone SE Plus is actually the forty-seven-inch model coming in XNUMX, and the actual iPhone SE XNUMX, with a larger screen of up to sixty-one inches. , will appear sometime in two thousand and twenty-four.

Some threads seem to have been crossed there, as it makes a lot more sense for the same-sized XNUMXrd-gen iPhone SE to come out first, without the Plus moniker... but keep in mind that Apple could have a Naming surprise in store. .
