We're inching closer to the release of Apple's third-generation iPhone SE
with 5G connectivity. According to reliable analyst
<https://twitter.com/dsccross/status/1483810892206727171?s=21> Ross Young,
panel production for the display that will be used in the iPhone SE 3 is
starting this month, suggesting a launch in the second half of April or
early May.
For those unfamiliar, Ross Young is an analyst for
<http://www.displaysupplychain.com/> Display Supply Chain Consultants. As
such, his reporting is usually based on indications from the supply chain
similar to analysts such as Ming-Chi Kuo. He's proven to be extremely
reliable over the past year, including providing numerous details on the
iPhone SE 3.
The new device is expected to be visually identical to the current iPhone
SE. This means the design is still based on the iPhone 8, with a 4.7-inch
display, Home button, and Touch ID. The changes this time around are
expected to come in the form of 5G connectivity and a new A15 chip inside.
In his latest tweet, Young writes that panel production for the new iPhone
SE is starting this month, with the actual production of the iPhone itself
likely to begin in March.
Apple 5G SE model starting panel production this month. Phone production
likely from March. This means a launch is likely for 2H April/early May with
shipments from late April or early May.
This aligns with previous reporting from

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who has said that Apple is currently aiming to hold
a virtual event in March or April to announce the iPhone SE 3. A new iPad
Air is also

expected to be announced at this event.
Even though it won't represent the latest and greatest design, it's
highly-anticipated and will mark the most affordable iPhone ever released
with 5G support. In fact,
<https://9to5mac.com/2021/12/13/apples-most-affordable-5g-iphone-could-turn-
a-billion-android-users-into-switchers/> one analyst even believes that the
iPhone SE 3 with 5G could turn a billion Android users into switchers.
