3rd-gen iPhone SE

Just a few days ahead of Apple’s March 8th keynote, reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has shared a few more details about Apple’s rumoured 3rd-gen iPhone SE.

According to Kuo — who posted the information to their new Twitter account — the new iPhone SE will be available in three storage variants: 64GB, 128GB and 256GB. In comparison, the 2nd-gen iPhone SE was only available in 64GB and 128GB storage versions.

Further, Kuo says that Apple plans to ship between 25 million and 30 million iPhone SE units in 2022. The analyst also mentions that, unfortunately, the new iPhone SE won’t be available in new colours, with Apple sticking to the familiar ‘White,’ ‘Black’ and ‘Red’ designs.

In fact, the smartphone will look very similar to the iPhone 8 once again, according to Kuo. Other details continue to corroborate earlier reports, including the jump to an A15 chip and 5G compatibility.

9to5Mac says it verified that the account is owned by Ming-Chi Kuo. For a full recap of everything we expect to see at Apple’s March 8th event, follow this link.

From credible Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo to Nikkei, we’ve heard it time and time again — the third-gen iPhone SE will release in 2022.

Now, a new report from Taiwanese research firm TrendForce suggests we’ll be able to get our hands on the device in Q1, 2022, adding strength to the longstanding claims.

“Apple is staying with the plan to release its third-generation iPhone SE in 1Q22 and four models under a new series in 2H22,” reads the report. “The third-generation iPhone SE is expected to be a major instrument in helping Apple establish a presence in the market segment for mid-range 5G smartphones. Its production volume for 2022 is forecasted to reach 25-30 million units.”

From what we know so far, the upcoming iPhone SE will feature the same 4.7-inch LCD display as the current SE model, with the only exceptions being a better processor and 5G support.

Earlier leaks also suggest that Apple plans to start producing the new iPhone SE in December and ship it to customers in 2022. This launch lineup makes sense, given the tech giant typically releases the SE version of its iPhones in the spring. The new device could be perfect for people looking to pick up a reliable 5G phone without having to burn a hole in their pockets.
