Apple last updated its iPhone SE smartphone in 2020 and keeping the tradition of refreshing the device every alternate year, the Cupertino-based technology giant is now gearing up to launch an updated iPhone SE this year.
There have been several leaks related to the upcoming budget iPhone from Apple, including reports about the phone’s arrival in spring this year. Now, a new report claims that the launch could happen sooner than expected.
A new report coming from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg claims that Apple could be hosting its first launch event of the year on 8th March and at that event, the new iPhone SE 2022 will also get launched. Earlier, there were reports indicating that the device could go official sometime around April or May.
If the latest report is to be believed, then along with the iPhone SE with 5G support, the company will launch three more products at the same event. The Apple iPad Air is also expected to get a refresh. There’s also a possibility that Apple could announce new entry-level MacBook devices powered by M2 chipset or the new 27-inch iMac.
As for the iPhone SE with 5G support coming next month, the device is expected to come with the same design as the currently available model but will arrive with a better set of specifications. It will look like an iPhone 8 but will feature upgrades in terms of internals.
It will come with a 4.7-inch Retina HD LCD display and will also feature a Home button with a fingerprint sensor embedded. It is likely to be the last Apple smartphone to come packed with an LCD display panel and a home button.
The device is also said to be powered by the Apple A15 processor along with 3GB of RAM while there could also be a Plus variant that will pack 4GB of RAM. The chipset also brings support for 5G connectivity to the phone. There will still be a 12-megapixel single camera sensor on the back with improved photography features.
