Back in October 2021, rumors surfaced that Apple had postponed the iPhone SE 3 and would instead release the iPhone SE Plus in 2022. Now, DSCC analyst Ross Young who initially broke the news in October is back with more details regarding the upcoming iPhone SE models.

The iPhone SE series is a line of affordable small-screen iPhones that was first introduced in 2016. The second phone in the series didn’t launch till 2020 and a successor is expected to arrive in 2022.

Next SE model is rumored to be called SE+ 5G and will have a 4.7" LCD. Previously said the next SE model, SE3, would either have a 5.7" or a 6.1" display. It is now looking like it will be 5.7". May be launched in 2023 rather than 2024.

According to the latest tweet by DSCC analyst Ross Young the next iPhone SE model will indeed be called the iPhone SE Plus. The SE Plus will be the first device in the SE lineup to offer 5G support and is expected to house a 4.7-inch  LCD display. The device is also expected to retain the same design with thick top and bottom bezzles and have a Touch ID button.

The iPhone SE Plus is expected to debut in the next few months with the A15 Bionic chip, improved rear camera sensor, and 5G support.

Ross Young also states that the iPhone SE 3 might launch in 2023 rather than the previously predicted 2024 timeline and will have a 5.7-inch display.

Going by recent CAD renders, the iPhone SE 3 will retain the same rear design and have the same dimensions as the current iPhone SE. However, on the front, the device will offer a bigger screen by getting rid of the massive forehead chin, and touch ID button found in current-gen SE models. The SE 3 is also expected to house the A15 Bionic chipset and support 5G bands.

Jon Prosser was recently described by Macworld as “the Apple rumourmonger who hasn’t missed yet”. Sure thing, the tipster burst into the scene not too long ago and was accurate about so many things regarding the iPhone SE including the exact launch date. The tipster has now suggested that Apple may have got an iPhone SE Plus in the works and promises to deliver some information on the Plus size variant soon.

The iPhone SE was launched on April 15 featuring a design similar to the iPhone 8. The launch of the model which is powered by the latest A13 Bionic chipset resulted in the discontinuation o the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus sales. This is another indication that a larger display variant of the iPhone SE may be launched as a replacement for the iPhone 8 Plus.

Should have some iPhone SE Plus news for you soon.

It was previously reported that the “iPhone SE Plus” moniker was spotted in the iOS 14 program code. Thus, throwing up the possibility of its existence. The iPhone 8 Plus is equipped with a 5.5-inch display and we expect the upcoming model to feature the same screen size. The model is also expected to packs dual camera setup at the rear.

We should point out that nothing is confirmed at the moment so take this piece of information with a pinch of salt.
