The iPhone SE 3 has a lot to live up to. The iPhone SE (2020) offers a strong A13 Bionic processor in a small package for $399. Despite certain flaws, the phone offers excellent overall value.

Apple is expected to deliver at least two major advancements with the iPhone SE 3 in 2022: 5G connection and the same strong A15 Bionic CPU present in the iPhone 13. Not only would the new chip increase speed, but it would also improve photos and extend battery life.

Release Date updates on Apple iPhone SE 3

Sadly, Apple appears to be keeping the iPhone SE 3’s design the same as the current iPhone SE. Nonetheless, due of the addition of 5G and the predicted power for what should be one of the finest affordable phones, the iPhone SE 3 might be a lot larger issue than you think.

According to a slew of reports, the iPhone SE 3 will be unveiled in the first quarter of 2022. As a result, the iPhone SE might be released before the end of March. It’s been around two years since the iPhone SE 2020 was released, and it’s time for an update.

As the phone prepares to begin trial production, the recent claims have pounded home the notion that the Apple iPhone SE 3 is reportedly on track for a release early next year. This is the final phase before the phone’s design is finalized and mass manufacturing begins.

Intriguingly, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that the company plans to release a new iPhone SE model in 2023, with a bigger display. If you’re not sure if the buzz is justified, see our guide to deciding whether it should await again for iPhone SE 3 or purchase the iPhone SE now.

Expected specifications for Apple iPhone SE 3

So far, we don’t know much about the iPhone SE 3’s specifications, but according to Macotakara, the next iPhone SE will be powered by the A15 Bionic CPU. This is the same chip that powers the iPhone 13. As a result, the iPhone SE 3 might possibly be the quickest low-cost phone available.

5G connection is another big enhancement rumored for the iPhone SE 3, which seems like a no-brainer for any smartphone in 2022. Google already has a low-cost 5G phone in the Pixel 5a.

Thanks to Apple’s computational photography, the iPhone SE 2020 shoots good-looking photographs, yet it only has one lens. For the iPhone SE 3, we’d like to see Apple include an ultrawide lens.

On competing with the Pixel 5a, Apple could add a night mode to the iPhone SE 3. The iPhone SE 3’s front camera might also use an improvement since the present selfie snapper is only 7MP.

The battery life of the iPhone SE was a noteworthy flaw. The iPhone SE lasted 9 hours and 18 minutes in a battery life test, which was over 4G.

Fortunately, Apple’s A15 Bionic chipset should help the iPhone SE run more efficiently, and we’re hoping for a bigger battery as well.

Expected pricing for Apple iPhone SE 3

Right now, we don’t know much about the iPhone SE 3’s price, but we believe Apple will stick to the $399 price range. For many consumers, it’s the price-to-performance ratio that makes the SE (2020) so enticing, and Apple would be crazy to ignore it.

The iPhone SE 3 is said to be priced at 3,499 yuan ($542), according to one leaker. That appears to be a lot of money, yet currency conversions are rarely precise.
