In other words, the future iPhone SE 3 will be almost similar to the present 2020 iPhone SE 2, if not exactly. This information was obtained by the Japanese Apple site Macotakara (via 9to5mac).
Considering the rumor, it’s safe to assume that the 4.7-inch LCD Retina display. The Touch ID sensor in the circular home key, and rounded edges and wide borders will all return.
To put it another way, the iPhone SE 3 would be Apple’s entry-level iPhone with the worst design. Even if it will undoubtedly get a hardware update later on. The 2020 iPhone SE is expected to include the same 3GB of RAM as the iPhone SE 3, but with the Apple A15 Bionic processor.
Face ID, not Touch ID, will be used on all of Apple’s upcoming 2021 flagship iPhones, as will the flat-edge design seen on the current iPad Pro, 2021 iPad mini, and 2020 iPad Air.
If all goes according to plan, the $399 iPhone SE 3 will ship in early 2022, perhaps in the first quarter.
