Apple is reportedly working on a new iPhone SE model. Fresh information shared by TrendForce, a research firm from Taiwan, the third-generation iPhone SE is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2022. Probably, the Cupertino based brand will announce it by the end of March 2021.

The research firm claimed that apart from launching the alleged iPhone SE 2022 in Q1 2022, Apple will also have four models in the second half of the year. It is expected to arrive as a mid-range phone with support for 5G connectivity. Apple’s production volume for the coming year is expected to reach 25 to 30 million units, claimed the company.

It was revealed by reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo that the appearance of the iPhone SE will be similar to the existing iPhone SE 2020 model. Hence, it is expected to retain the 4.7-inch display. The only major change the iPhone SE 2022 is expected to offer is the inclusion of a new processor that will bring support for 5G connectivity.

The iPhone SE 2020 borrowed a lot of features from the iPhone 8 and came with upgraded internals like the Apple Bionic A13 chip. It is likely that the iPhone SE 2022 may feature the Apple A15 Bionic, which powers the iPhone 13 series that debuted this year.

Rumors also suggest the existence of the iPhone SE Plus. However, the new report has no information on it.
