There have been various reports about an iPhone SE 3, a successor to the iPhone SE (2020). The phone is likely to be the last Apple smartphone with an LCD display and to support 5G. New information has emerged, revealing that the iPhone SE 3 has been delayed. However, a new model named the iPhone SE Plus will be released next year.
The iPhone SE series is a brand of low-cost small-screen iPhones that was debuted in 2016. The second phone in the series wasn’t released until last year, and a replacement is scheduled in 2021.
According to Ross Young (@DSCCRoss), the most recent iPhone SE news indicates that Apple will release an iPhone SE Plus in 2022. This phone will sport a 4.7-inch LCD display, similar to the iPhone SE 2020, which is actually the same display as the iPhone 8. The phone will also include 5G.
He goes on to say that the iPhone SE 3, which was supposed to have an LCD between 5.7 and 6.1 inches, has been pushed back to 2024. With the revised release date, Apple maintains the iPhone SE line on a two-year cycle. Unfortunately, there is no reason for Apple’s change of plans.
None of the information above has been confirmed, and while the source has a good track record, we nonetheless encourage readers to treat it with a grain of salt. Manufacturers are known to change their plans, which can occasionally include the cancellation of a product.
