new design, Touch ID and LCD display
Fans of Apple’s cheapest iPhone have been waiting for it for a while: the iPhone SE 3. According to current rumors, it will be released next year. It is possible that Apple’s entry-level smartphone will have a ‘new’ design with unique features.
Read on after the ad.
iPhone SE 3 gets a new design
Until now, many sources assumed that the iPhone SE 3 would hardly change in terms of design. The current iPhone SE 2020 is basically a recycled case from an iPhone 8 with better hardware.
The Chinese MyDrivers however, let us now know that Apple might also have a surprise in store for us. It is said that the upcoming third generation of the iPhone SE will resemble the iPhone XR from 2018.
The design based on the iPhone XR would therefore not be completely new for Apple connoisseurs, but it could provide a little breath of fresh air. According to the report, the iPhone SE 2022 will even get a unique new feature. Touch ID will reportedly be incorporated into the on/off button. So far we only know that from the iPad Air 2020 and iPad mini 2021.
The integration of Touch ID in combination with the XR design does raise questions about the notch at the top of the screen. That’s because the sensors for Face ID are located on the iPhone XR. Will the iPhone SE 3 get such a notch, even though it doesn’t have Face ID on it? Or will Apple succeed in incorporating the camera into the screen edge? Or will there even be a punch-hole design? The report does not answer that, because integration of Face ID is also not excluded.
How reliable is the report?
Whether the report is realistic, we do not know for sure. This is mainly due to the fact that the Chinese site is not a reliable track record has. More renowned sources such as analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and the Japanese blog MacOtakara have already indicated that a new iPhone SE will simply keep the old design. The SE will of course get new hardware.
iPhone SE 2022 . Specifications
There is still speculation about what the new specifications will be for the third generation iPhone SE. According to the latest rumors, Apple’s entry-level iPhone will receive a brand new A15 chip and 5G support. However, the step to an OLED screen will only take place with the next model. An LCD screen is also expected for the iPhone SE 3. Nothing is known about the camera yet.
Can’t wait for the new iPhone SE to be launched? Just a little patience, it will probably be in the spring of 2022. Don’t feel like waiting? The iPhone 12 is currently much cheaper to get, and may therefore be quite similar to the new SE.
