a design change and instead will look like the current iPhone SE. This means
it will keep the same 4.7-inch LCD display and Touch ID Home Button. Some
earlier rumors had suggested a more significant design overhaul was on the
way.
However, the new iPhone SE will pack in Apple's latest A15 chip with support
for 5G cellular networking. Macotakara expects production of the new iPhone
SE to begin in December and start shipping to customers in spring 2022.
In June, reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo
<https://9to5mac.com/2021/06/23/kuo-new-iphone-se-with-5g-and-new-processor-
still-on-track-for-first-half-of-2022/> made a similar prediction that the
2022 iPhone SE would maintain the same chassis design but get a spec bump
and 5G support.
There were rumors at one point that the next iPhone SE would get a larger
5.5-inch display and a Touch ID side button. For instance, Kuo
<https://9to5mac.com/2020/04/21/kuo-iphone-12-facing-mass-production-delays-
iphone-se-plus-release-postponed/> floated the idea of a 'iPhone SE Plus'
last year.
However, those rumors have now mostly transmogrified into discussions about
the replacement for the iPhone 13 mini in the iPhone 14 lineup. Apple is
expected to drop the 5.4-inch iPhone mini size in favor of a 6-inch non-Pro
model.
A spring launch lines up with Apple's usual schedule for the iPhone SE. The
first iPhone SE debuted in March 2016 and the second-generation model
arrived in April 2020.
