The upcoming 2022 iPhone SE will include 5G technology and an updated A-series chip, but no major design changes, according to leaker Dylandkt, echoing many previous iPhone SE rumours.
For the last couple of years, third-generation iPhone SE rumours have been confusing because some information pointed toward a major redesign with an iPhone 11-style look, no Touch ID home button, and reduced bezels, but rumours were apparently describing two separate devices.
In addition to the 2022 iPhone SE, which will look exactly like an iPhone 8 like the 2020 model, Apple is working on a future iPhone SE that will ditch the Home button in favour of an all-display design for Apple’s most affordable iPhone option.
Apple is working on an iPhone SE that will be “similar to the XR/11” but with a “slightly smaller screen size,” according to Dylandkt. This device is scheduled for release in 2024.
Display analyst Ross Young also claims that Apple is working on a 2024 iPhone SE with a 5.7 to 6.1-inch display and a hole-punch camera, which will be used for the “Pro” iPhone lineup in 2022.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated in 2019 that Apple was working on a “iPhone SE Plus” with a full-screen design, no Face ID, and a Touch ID fingerprint sensor built into the device’s power button on the side. This iPhone SE never materialised, but Kuo could have been referring to the future technology Apple plans to introduce in 2024.
