In March 2022, Apple launched the iPhone SE 2022 smartphone in the global market. The device was launched in India at a starting price of Rs 43,900. Several months after its initial release, Apple has raised the price of the iPhone SE 2022 by Rs 6,000 across all storage configurations. This price hike comes days after the launch of the new iPhone 14 series.

The company did not provide any explicit reasons for the price increase, but one can guess it is due to the widening difference between the value of the rupee and the US dollar. Moreover, rising component and logistics costs may be factors contributing to the price increase.

Apple launches the iPhone SE (2022) with A15 Bionic, 5G, wireless charging

Apple, Tuesday, held its “Peek performance” event where a number of interesting products were unveiled. While the M1 Ultra chipset could be termed the most interesting product announced, the US company also took the wraps off a new affordable iPhone – the iPhone SE (2022).

The iPhone SE 2022 is the third iteration in the series and it takes over the rein from the iPhone SE (2020) that was launched in (you guessed right) 2020. Thus, the product comes with lots of expectations and has been a regular in the rumor mill.

The iPhone SE (2022) comes with several interesting features onboard. You get the latest flagship A15 Bionic chipset that is utilized by the iPhone 13 series. This brings 5G connectivity support to the budget iPhone. The phone is also fairly priced, starting at $429, just a tad higher than the iPhone SE 2020 which retails for $399.

Design-wise, the iPhone SE 2022 retains the outdated design utilized on the iPhone SE 2020 which is also similar to the iPhone 8’s design. At the rear, the device packs a single 12MP camera nested at the top left corner of the back panel which is made from glass.

At the front, the device features a 4.7-inch display with large bezels at the top and bottom edges. The display and back panel is protected by glass which Apple termed the “toughest glass on a smartphone”, which is perhaps the proprietary Ceramic Shield. The device also packs a Touch ID fingerprint reader right below the screen.

In addition, the iPhone SE (2022) gains 5G connectivity but does not support 5G mmWave bands. Instead, it utilizes the sub-6 GHz band. The efficient A15 Bionic onboard also brings improvement in the battery life of the budget iPhone. There is also support for IP67 water and dust resistance. Although, there were speculations that the device will have MagSafe charging support but it doesn’t. However, the device supports Qi wireless charging.

The new iPhone SE (2022) is available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB storage options. In terms of colors, the phone will be available in midnight, starlight, and PRODUCT Red colorway. Pricing starts at $429 for the 64GB version and the device is expected to go on sale from March 18 in 30 countries including the US, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, and the United Kingdom. The iPhone SE 3 will be available to pre-order from March 11.

iPhone SE 2022 last minute leaks: improved camera, more RAM, bigger battery & more

In a few hours, Apple will kick-off their Peek Performance launch event where the brand is expected to launch new iPads including the iPad Air, new Mac devices as well as the show stopper, the new iPhone SE 2022 model.

Apple iPhone SE (2020)

Now, just moments before the supposed launch, new leaks have surfaced of the iPhone SE that detail some exciting features which will come with the new affordable iPhone. According to tipster lanzuk, Taiwanese supply chain sources have informed that the iPhone SE 3 will indeed come with Apple’s in-house A15 Bionic chipset. These are the same chips that power the current iPhone 13 lineup. The tipster also added that the smartphone will come with an improved camera system over its predecessor which has previously been stated by trusted sources like Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

The tipster also says that the iPhone SE 2022 will get a bigger battery compared to the 1,821mAh battery on the iPhone SE 2020, and in combination with the more power-efficient A15 chip, the phone is sure to get a solid battery performance boost. On the topic of battery, the leaker says that the phone will come with MagSafe charging support, which is in contrast to the majority of previous leaks we have received so far.

For increased durability, the smartphone will come with the ceramic shield glass that was introduced with iPhone 12. The material is a combination of glass and ceramic and is meant to protect the phone in case it’s dropped accidentally.

And lastly, the tipster informs that the entry-level Apple smartphone will be begging a bump in its RAM capacity landing it at 4GB from the 3GB featured on the last-gen SE model.

The base price of the smartphone is expected to be the same as last gen and it will likely debut with a $399 price tag, contrary to previous reports which have stated that the smartphone will be priced around $300.

However, the credibility of these leaks are up for debate so we suggest that you take it with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for our coverage of the Apple Peek Performance launch event.

iPhone SE 2022 with $300 price tag, iPad Air 5 & budget iPad appears in India

Last month, we reported that Apple might soon launch the iPhone SE 2022. Now, a report has surfaced stating that Apple has imported the new iPhone SE model for testing in India along with the iPad Air refresh and a new budget iPad.

According to 91mobiles, industry sources have informed that the upcoming iPhone models are imported under model numbers A2595, A2783, and A2784. The smartphone is said to be priced at around $300.

The report claims that this could be the iPhone SE 3. However, previous leaks have stated that Apple has delayed the SE 3 to 2023 and will likely release the iPhone SE Plus in the coming months. So we are most likely looking at the test samples of the iPhone SE Plus.

2020 iPad Air

Other than that, the report reveals two new iPad models that have entered the country for testing. The devices carrying model numbers A2588 and A2589 are believed to be the iPad Air refresh dubbed the iPad Air 5. The two model numbers hint towards WiFi-only and WiFi+Cellular models. They carry a price tag of $500-$700.

The budget iPad carrying model numbers A2757 and A2589 is priced at roughly $300.

These devices will most likely come with a higher price tag than mentioned above due to added import duties and other levies so we suggest you take these prices with a grain of salt.

So far, the upcoming iPhone SE 2022 or the SE Plus model is expected to 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.

It will 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.

Previous leaks have indicated towards an April-May launch of the iPhone SE 2022, however, judging by this recent development, Apple might launch the new iPhone in early spring.
