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.
