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.

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.

The next smartphone from Apple is said to be a budget model with 5G connectivity. This handset is expected to be called iPhone SE 2022. It will be the successor of the iPhone SE 2020, which is limited to 4G. A lesser-known Apple analyst re-iterates the features of this device, which have been under the rumor mill for a while now.

According to Dylan (@dylandkt), the upcoming iPhone SE will not be what he tipped last January. Instead, it will be nothing but a spec upgrade for the current-gen iPhone SE 2020.

He says that the new iPhone SE will be similar to the model available right now in terms of design. However, it will arrive with better specs and 5G connectivity.

In a nutshell, the so-called iPhone SE 2022 will look like an iPhone 8 but will feature upgrades in terms of internals. It is said that this one will be probably the last iPhone with a Touch ID-embedded home button.

Almost a year ago, the same person stated that the iPhone SE releasing in 2022 will sport a design similar to iPhone 11, however, with a smaller screen. He added that this handset will have its fingerprint sensor on the power key like the iPad Air 4th Generation.

Now, he says that an iPhone SE with the aforementioned specifics will debut in 2024. 

Having said that, despite sporting an old design, the iPhone SE 2022 will reportedly reel in over a billion Android users to the Apple ecosystem.
