Apple iPhone SE 2022 gets a price hike in India

Sudhanshu — Fri, 09 Sep 2022 05:09:11 +0000

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.

The price for the 64GB base model has been increased from Rs. 43,990 ($552) to Rs. 49,990 ($628). Similarly, the 128GB model now costs Rs 54,900 ($691) instead of Rs 48,900 ($615) and the 256GB model price has been hiked from Rs 58,900 ($740) to Rs 64,900 ($816).

This iPhone has No Notch, a USB-C port, and Apple’s latest A15 Bionic Processor

Leo Wong De Quan — Tue, 10 May 2022 02:00:40 +0000

Although Apple’s latest iPhone 13 series is widely regarded as a solid flagship for the price, the phone still has several compromises for its price, such as its legacy Lightning port, the absence of Touch ID, the missing 3.5mm headphone jack and its hideous notch in the middle of the display.

But as people say “If you want a thing, you gotta do it yourself”, and this Chinese DIY Electronics Youtuber, Aio Technology, has taken the motto to the next level, as he has created himself the fully-functioning “New iPhone” that has a USB-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a pop-up selfie camera, Touch ID and most importantly of all, no notch!

The “New iPhone” with no notch next to the iPhone 13 Mini

What makes this achievement more astounding is that the “New iPhone” that he had created features the same Apple A15 Bionic SoC with 5G connectivity found on the iPhone 13 series, so you are not sacrificing performance at all when using the device.

Let’s start with how he made this iPhone. The creator said that to make this “New iPhone”, he had to buy the latest generation of the iPhone SE (2022) which was equipped with the 4.7-inch display and 5G processor that he needed for this project. Indirectly, the iPhone SE 3rd Generation featured the Apple A15 Bionic processor paired with the 4GB RAM, which allowed the device to easily power through daily tasks with no stutters at all.

As for the design of this “New iPhone”, to fully make use of the screen, the creator made a rectangular aluminium casing with minimal bezels for the LCD display panel to fit in. In pursuit of the truly bezel-less iPhone, the “New iPhone” features a flat-screen non-curved display that has top, left and right side bezels almost as thin as 1mm.

However, he didn’t stop there, he wanted this “New iPhone” project to go even further. Since there was no more space left on the home screen for Touch ID, the creator decided to embed the fingerprint sensor into the side-mounted power button.

And since there was no room for the front-facing selfie camera as well, the mad lad had even created a dedicated pop-up motor mechanism as well just to house the selfie camera!

Taking the dream a step further, since he also wanted a no-compromise iPhone, he had swapped out the iPhone SE 3’s battery for the larger capacity one on the iPhone X, and the lightning port for a USB-C port. Despite all the modifications above, the man still managed to find space left to fit a 3.5mm headphone jack and wireless charging into the “new iPhone”.

The end product of this project is truly nothing short of extraordinary, as not only this 4.7-inch bezel-less “New iPhone” is smaller than the iPhone 13 Mini, it features the long-gone headphone jack, USB-C port, and even a larger battery than on the iPhone SE 3rd Generation (2022).

iPhone 13 Mini next to new iPhone

Unfortunately, this “New iPhone” is not available for sale and probably won’t ever reach the market. However, there have been recent rumours of Apple implementing USB-C in its next iPhone 14 series like the iPad Air 4 (2020) and iPad Mini 5 (2021).

Apple supplier TSMC believes that demand for smartphones is slowing

Sean — Thu, 31 Mar 2022 11:13:02 +0000

Apple supplier TSMC has said that the demand for consumer electronic products like PCs and smartphones is seeing a slow down. Apparently, the demand has fallen owing to a number of factors.

According to a NikkeiAsia report, the news arrives from TSMC’s Chairman Mark Liu. The senior official of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company said that the ongoing geopolitical uncertainities and new lockdowns caused by the coronavirus in China has caused demand to fall. The executive of the world’s largest contract chipmaker and major Apple supplier made the statement at the Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Association. He further added that customer interest has fallen in particular in China.

On the other hand, the rising prices of raw materials and components have also caused production costs to go up for chipmakers like TSMC. Liu believes that “pressure could eventually be passed on to consumers,” which would likely impact the demand of customers since prices of the end products will also rise. He said that “Everyone in the industry is worried about rising costs across the overall supply chain… The semiconductor industry already and directly experienced that cost increase.”

iPhone SE 2022

Furtehrmore, Liu stated that TSMC will not be changing its growth targets despite not being able to meet customer demand with its current capacity. However, it plans on reorganizing and prioritizing orders for “areas that still see healthy demand.” A noticeable sign of customer demand falling is Apple’s newly launched iPhone SE 2022, which will have its production lowered due to lower than expected demand in the global market.

Apple sees lower than expected demand for iPhone SE 2022: Kuo

Sean — Mon, 28 Mar 2022 08:45:13 +0000

Earlier today (28th March 2022), a known Apple analyst revealed that the newly launched iPhone SE 2022 isn’t as popular as the brand hoped it would be, with the company seeing demand, which is lower than expected.

iPhone SE 2022

The news arrives from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who shared this information on his Twitter account. In the tweet, Kuo stated that the Cupertino based giant’s iPhone SE 2022 saw lower than expected market demand. Thus, he also said that he is lowering his shipment estimates for the 2022 iPhone SE. Notably, the analyst said that the lockdowns in Shanghai did not affect the brand’s iPhone SE production. But despite this, it still saw lower sales.

So now, the shipment estimates for the newly unveiled iPhone has been dropped to 15 to 20 million units, down from his initial 25 to 30 million units estimated shipments. For those unaware, the 2022 iPhone SE is the latest smartphone from the brand. The new device comes with 4GB of RAM, which is higher than the last generation’s 3GB of RAM. This model sports a 4.7 inch display that retains the typical Touch ID just like its predecessor.

Under the hood, the iPhone SE 3 houses an A15 Bionic processor, which is a 5G enabled chipset. The device also features a 12 megapixel rear camera sensor. Interestingly, the iPhone SE 3 is apparently seeing the same kind of market reception as the iPhone mini series. In other words, it appears that the demand for smaller iPhones have fallen, which is the primary reason that Apple is expected to drop the mini model in the iPhone 14 lineup.

iPhone SE 2022 expected to sell just as much as 2020 model despite outdated design

Zohaib Ahmed — Thu, 17 Mar 2022 12:04:01 +0000

Apple iPhone SE 2022 shipments are expected to be around 30 million units, which is about the same as its previous model’s 2020 shipments of 25-30 million units, according to estimates by Digitimes research analysts Sean Lin and Luke Lin.

The report says that Apple has already prepared less than 5 million components for the new iPhone SE in the first quarter of this year, but actual shipments will be lower than that number.

However, shipments in the next quarter are expected to surge to 11 million units, with the third quarter seeing sales in similar numbers. The shipments will only start dropping from the fourth quarter to make way for the release of the next-generation iPhone 14.

The iPhone SE 2022 along with phone sales from Samsung and Chinese OEMs are expected to significantly boost 5G mobile phone shipments in non-Chinese markets in 2022.

In 2021, a total of about 280 million 5G mobile phones were shipped to markets outside of markets. This figure is expected to rise by more than 60% to 450 million units, accounting for 63.5% of global shipments.

But since 80% of phone shipments in China are already 5G models, shipments there are expected to achieve only single-digit YoY growth in 2022.

Apple’s newly launched iPhone SE comes packed with 4GB of RAM

Jeet — Thu, 10 Mar 2022 00:28:18 +0000

Earlier this week, Apple unveiled a few new devices at a launch event, including the third-generation iPhone SE. The smartphone comes in improved specifications and features compared to its predecessor.

Among the enhancements for the smartphone, Apple has also increased the memory of the device, which the company has not yet advertised.

The new Apple iPhone SE now comes packed with 4GB RAM, which is more than 3GB RAM that the company offers in the second-generation model. This was confirmed by MacRumors with information sourced from strings within the Xcode 13.3 Release Candidate that Apple released following the launch event.

With the increased memory on the device, there should a noticeable performance improvement. More applications, as well as webpages in Safari, can now remain active in the background. Also, some tasks like photo and video editing can also benefit from this.

The Apple iPhone SE 3 features the same 4.7-inch display and keeps the home button with Touch ID, similar to its predecessor. However, it now packs an A15 Bionic processor which also supports 5G connectivity. In the camera department, the smartphone features a 12-megapixel camera sensor with a few new features.

The smartphone will be available for pre-order from 11th March in the United States, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, the United Kingdom, and more than 30 other countries and regions. The sale of the device will begin from 18th March.

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

Jed John Ikoba — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 21:19:37 +0000

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

Sudhanshu — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 14:31:45 +0000

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 roundup – Apple March 8 event – What to Expect

Sudhanshu — Mon, 07 Mar 2022 15:47:05 +0000

Last week, Apple announced that their “Peek Performance” event will be held on March 8th. Now that the event is almost upon us, let’s take a look at all the products which are expected to launch tomorrow.

iPhone SE (2022)

The Cupertino-based giant launched its last iPhone SE model back in 2020, and a successor is long overdue. The upcoming iPhone SE has been a hot topic online and has been subject to multiple leaks over the past few months.

Apple iPhone SE (2020)

So far, the leaks suggest that the new iPhone SE will come in multiple color variants and storage capacities of 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB. The iPhone SE (2022) will come in color variants such as white, black, and red. The device will be driven by the Apple A15 Bionic chipset, and it will carry support for 5G connectivity (mmWave and sub-6GHz).

Other than the inclusion of the 5G enabled A15 Bionic chipset, the device is expected to remain similar to its predecessor offering a 4.7-inch LCD display and a physical home button at the front integrated with the Touch ID fingerprint scanner. The device was also said to include MagSafe charging, but recent leaks suggest that this won’t be the case either.

iPad Air 5 and entry-level iPad

iPad Air 2020

The next-gen iPad Air aka the iPad Air 5 is said to come with the same design and display as the 2020 iPad Air, but the tablet is expected to house the latest A15 Bionic chipset present in the iPhone 13 series. This SoC inclusion will give the tablet the long-awaited 5G connectivity.

The front camera of the device will also be getting an upgrade as it will now support the Center Stage technology which Apple introduced with the iPad Pro 2021. For those unaware, Center Stage uses machine learning to adjust the front-facing Ultra-Wide camera when you use video apps such as FaceTime on your compatible iPad model. As you move around, Center Stage helps keep you and anyone else with you in the frame. This feature will be a great addition considering work and study from home scenarios.

Last month, a report also revealed two new iPads carrying model numbers A2757 and A2589. The tablets allegedly entered India for internal testing and were expected to be launched in spring. These are expected to be the entry-level offerings from Apple in the tablet segment and could be priced roughly around $300.

Mac mini

Another Apple device due for an update is their M1-powered Mac mini. Rumors surrounding updated Mac Minis have been floating for a while now, and if they are to be believed, Apple will introduce the 2022 Mac mini tomorrow with a new design and the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. According to reports, the Mac mini 2022 will have a thinner body, a polycarbonate top, an increase in the number of ports at the back, and a magnetic power connection.

Apple External Display

As we know, Apple currently only offers a single external display which is the 32-inch Pro Display XDR with a price tag of $4,999. At the 2022 Peek Performance event, the tech giant is expected to unveil a more affordable 27-inch Apple display without mini-LED. Rumors about Apple working on a new Studio Display with 7K screen resolution and A13 Bionic chipset have also been making the rounds recently, however, the launch of this high-end product is expected to take place in 2023.

The Apple Peek Performance launch event is scheduled for March 8 and will take place at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time (New York, USA — 1:00 p.m. EST, London, United Kingdom — 6:00 p.m. GMT, Delhi, India — 11:30 p.m. IST).

Interested readers can watch the event on the Apple Events website as well as on Apple’s Youtube channel by following this link.

Apple iPhone SE 3 could be priced lower than its predecessor

Jed John Ikoba — Sun, 27 Feb 2022 20:39:04 +0000

There are indications that the Apple iPhone SE that could be released anytime soon could be cheaper than its predecessor from 2020. The third iteration of the iPhone SE is the iPhone SE 3 will likely have the same design as its predecessor while its improved internal setup will likely guarantee more updates. This also means that the iPhone SE 3 could have enhanced longevity in addition to the projected lower pricing for the device.

Image via TenTechReview

The information of a cheaper iPhone SE 3 is culled from a report by analyst John Donovan projecting that the product could be sold around $300 which is about $100 less than the iPhone SE 2. It is not clear whether the price will be due to some incentive package or it is a flat offer from Apple. A recent report had also projected the price of the iPhone SE 3 around $300.

The fact however remains that the iPhone SE 3 will be targeting the lower end of the market spectrum and it is likely to be budget-friendly, supporting the lower price proposition. Although Apple is a powerhouse in the high-end segment of the smartphone market, it will be interesting to see how it performs in the mid-range segment of the market where Android products hold the aces. We expect to see an improved design together with 5G connectivity and overall improved performance of the iPhone SE 3. The new model is likely to be powered by the A15 Bionic chip which is what we find in the iPhone 13 lineup.

The iPhone SE 3 (2022) could Start as Low as $300 – Rumour

Leo Wong De Quan — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 17:15:03 +0000

Valued at a record 3 trillion USD in the market, Apple‘s market cap is higher than the GDP of India, a country with a population reaching 1.5 billion within the next few years. Only four countries in the world now have a higher GDP than Apple’s market cap – the United States, China, Japan, and Germany.

With that in mind, Apple is planning to continue its market dominance and expand its smartphone business into further uncharted territory for the company, the lower mid-range smartphone market. Rumours within the industry reveal that Apple may be planning to launch the next 2022 iteration of its iPhone SE starting from only USD $300.

The news comes from Investor’s Business Daily. The report claims that Loop Capital Markets analyst John Donovan said he’s heard rumours that the new 5G-supported iPhone SE 3 (2022) could start at $300. This news comes as a surprise because the current 4G iPhone SE 2 (2020) model starts at $399, and the iPhone SE 3 is rumoured to feature a better processor, 5G support and better battery life than its predecessor.

For comparison, for double the price of $300, at $599, you can only buy Apple‘s cheapest 5G smartphone available, the iPhone 12 Mini and Apple’s second-generation 5G smartphones, the iPhone 13 series, starts at $699.

But why is Apple planning to venture into the under $300 category of smartphones? The report quoted that JPMorgan analysts in December 2021 speculated that Apple wanted its new iPhone to spur a wave of switchers from Android smartphones. The move has the potential to lure some of the nearly 1.4 billion value-conscious minded users of low to midrange Android phones to switch and about 300 million users of older model iPhones to upgrade, the investment bank said in a report to clients.

As for the specifications of the iPhone SE 3 (2022), it is expected that the new iPhone SE is sporting the 5G Apple A15 Bionic chipset found on the latest iPhone 13 series. Design-wise the iPhone SE 3 (2022) will retain the same design as its predecessor with a glass front and back with an aluminium chassis, and the signature Touch ID on the home button located on the chin of the device.

The iPhone SE 3(2022) is expected to launch at Apple’s annual Spring Launch Event. Apple has not officially revealed the date of the event yet but speculations and leaks point to March 8, 2022 as the day when the event starts.

Apple iPhone SE with 5G support to reportedly launch on March 8

Jeet — Tue, 08 Feb 2022 02:41:07 +0000

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.

Apple iPhone SE (2020)

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.

Apple to keep its upcoming event on March 8: Here’s what we might see

Pranav Sawant — Sat, 05 Feb 2022 10:59:40 +0000

Just like every year, Apple is expected to hold its March event this year. However, the launch date was yet to be revealed. Now, as per Bloomberg, Apple could keep the event on March 8. Also, it is expected to be an online event like last few years.

This time around, we are expected to see new hardware as well as the public release of the iOS 15.4 software. Right now, the iOS 15.4 is in the beta stage and it brings some interesting features like the Universal Control. In case you are unaware, this update also allows iPhones to unlock even with the mask on.

iPhone SE (2nd Generation) and iPad Air (4th Generation)

If we talk about the hardware, the much-anticipated iPhone SE is expected to arrive at the March event. As per earlier reports, the iPhone SE 2022 will retain the old iPhone 8 design. But it will have upgraded internals, new cameras, and most importantly, the 5G connectivity.

The new iPhone SE is expected to come with a 4.7-inch Retina HD LCD display and the traditional home button. It will come with 3GB of RAM and the Apple A15 Bionic chipset.

Other than the iPhone, we might also see a new iPad Air at the event. The new iPad may come with the same A15 Bionic chipset and support 5G connectivity. It is reported to have a 10.9-inch screen. The Mac Mini is also expected to get a refresh at the event.

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

Sudhanshu — Tue, 01 Feb 2022 16:58:41 +0000

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.

Apple iPhone SE with 5G support expected to launch in March

Jeet — Mon, 10 Jan 2022 01:23:12 +0000

Apple has an affordable iPhone in the form of iPhone SE and the company is now gearing up to launch a third-generation model. Ahead of the device getting official, several details have already been leaked online.

Now, a new report claims that the new Apple iPhone SE, which is said to come with support for 5G connectivity, could go official sometime in March or April this year at an Apple event.

According to the report from Mark Gurman in Power On newsletter for Bloomberg, Apple is expected to host its first major event of this year sometime in March or April, and similar to previous events, this one will also be conducted virtually.

Reports indicate that the upcoming iPhone SE could get launched at this upcoming event from the tech giant and will apparently be the focus of the event. Apple has a track record of launching new products at an event in March or April so the event is likely to happen.

Based on the previous leaks and reports, the iPhone SE 2022 will be similar to the model available right now in terms of design but will arrive with better specifications. It will look like an iPhone 8 but will feature upgrades in terms of internals.

The phone 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.

A recent estimate from J.P. Morgan claims that the upcoming iPhone SE could lure nearly 1.4 billion low to mid-range Android phone users as well as about 300 million older iPhone model users.

Apple is rumored to launch an iPhone SE in 2022 with 5G support for the first time and some J.P. Morgan analysts have said that it has the potential to pull over a billion Android users.

The phone is expected to be launched early next year and will be targeting the mid-range market in order to better compete with rivals Samsung and BBK Electronics, both of which together hold around half of the smartphone market share.

J.P. Morgan estimates that the upcoming smartphone could lure nearly 1.4 billion low to mid-range Android phone users and about 300 million older iPhone model users (via Reuters).

“Apple’s trade-in program for non-iPhones is admittedly not as attractive as the iPhone trade-in values, it could nonetheless lead to an average starting price range of $269 to $399 for the 5G iPhone SE, which is still very competitive,” analyst Samik Chatterjee, rated five stars on Refinitiv Eikon for his estimate accuracy, said.

Further, the brokerage firm raised its estimates for fiscal 2022 iPhone SE sales to 30 million units and annual iPhone shipments expectations to 250 million units, which is 10 million higher than this year. Apple is also expected to inch closer to the $3 trillion mark in terms of market capitalization.

The only challenge here remains potential demand and supply issues.

Currently, the iPhone SE is priced starting at $399, which is only a fraction of the iPhone 13’s $799 and the iPhone 13 Pro’s $999 price tags. The phone’s 2022 model is expected to feature the same design it currently has, again making it near-identical to the iPhone 8 from 2017. Its display will thus likely be 4.7-inches in size surrounded by thick bezels. The upgrades will mainly be in the processor department as the 5G-supporting iPhone SE 2022 might sport either the A15 or A14 Bionic.

Earlier this month, we covered reports of Apple working on a new iPhone SE model, which is expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2022. Now, recent reports have surfaced bolstering this rumor.

A paywalled report from the Taiwanese publication, DigiTimes, states “VCM suppliers see no cutback in orders for new iPhones: VCM (voice coil motor) and other component suppliers have still seen no cutback in orders for the new iPhones, and are gearing up for shipments for the next generation of Apple’s iPhone SE series slated for launch in the first half of 2022, according to industry sources.” (via)

Previously, reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo tipped that the upcoming iPhone SE will be similar in appearance to the existing iPhone SE 2020 model. Hence, it is expected to retain the 4.7-inch display, touch ID home button and thick bezzles. The only significant change the iPhone SE 2022 might offer is the inclusion of a new processor that will bring support for 5G connectivity.

The upcoming mid-ranger from Apple is also reported to be the last iPhone to be equipped with an LCD screen while carrying 3GB RAM. While rumors have been going around of the 2023 iPhone SE that is expected to be based on iPhone XR‘s design, carrying a larger display and 4GB of RAM.

For now, we expect the iPhone SE 2022 to hit the markets around march of 2021. but with no official confirmation, we suggest you take this information with a pinch of salt.
