We're expecting the 2022 <https://9to5mac.com/guides/iphone-se/> iPhone SE
to be a rather unexciting update, retaining the existing form factor and
simply getting a faster chip and <https://9to5mac.com/guides/5g/> 5G.
However, a sketchy report today suggests that it will be a much more
significant design update.
A Chinese site claims that instead of being based on the
<https://9to5mac.com/guides/iphone-8/> iPhone 8, it will instead be based on
the <https://9to5mac.com/guides/iphone-xr/> iPhone XR, with its far more
contemporary appearance .
The claim comes from <https://news.mydrivers.com/1/790/790144.htm>
MyDrivers.
The SE, which has a classic design language and the only front fingerprint
recognition, is still favored by some consumers. It seems that Apple does
not intend to give up, and iterative models are revealed to be released next
spring.
According to the latest news, the iPhone SE 3 will be Apple's last mobile
phone equipped with an LCD display. For those who have no love for OLED,
there are few opportunities left.
However, it was said earlier that the iPhone SE 3 is still the iPhone 8
model, that is, 4.7-inch screen, front Touch ID , but the latest rumor is
that it is based on the iPhone XR, equipped with side fingerprints, of
course, does not rule out the front Face ID.
The site doesn't have the best of track records, with a mix of hits and
misses, but the former mostly comprised of things that were fairly obvious
and widely expected.
The report contradicts that of Ming-Chi Kuo back in June, who said that
<https://9to5mac.com/2021/06/23/kuo-new-iphone-se-with-5g-and-new-processor-
still-on-track-for-first-half-of-2022/> the design would be largely
unchanged.
A new report from reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today reiterated
expectations for the next-gen iPhone SE. Kuo believes the two big upgrades
will be 5G and an upgraded processor, with the new entry-level iPhone coming
in 1H 2022 [.]
Kuo reiterates that the 2022 iPhone SE will have a similar design as the
existing 4.7-inch iPhone SE.
<https://twitter.com/DSCCRoss/status/1377677792402403328> This was backed
by display analyst Ross Young.
Young did suggest that
<https://9to5mac.com/2021/04/01/5g-hole-punch-iphone-se-report/> the 2023
model will get an all-new design, with a punch-hole camera.
<https://9to5mac.com/2021/05/24/concept-imagines-a-redesigned-iphone-se-with
-hole-punch-front-camera/> A concept image shows how that might look. But as
for the 2022 model, don't hold your breath for anything XR-like.
