iPhone SE 2022: features, price, release date and everything the rumors say

If Apple remains faithful to its tradition of recent years, this spring we could see the launch of a new iPhone SE. And, as is customary at this time, rumors have already begun to emerge related to the company’s future terminal.

In this article we are going to tell you everything we know so far about the successor to the iPhone SE 2020, a smartphone that is destined to become, one more year, the the most affordable alternative to enter the Apple ecosystem.

What features will the iPhone SE 2022 have?

Apple’s strategy for the iPhone SE is quite clear: recycle part of the design and components of its most ambitious and expensive models and project them in a terminal that stands out, above all, for its price and good performance.

With that clear, let’s start with what the leakers are saying. According to MyDrivers, the iPhone SE 2022 could adopt some features of the iPhone XR. What pick up our colleagues from Applesfera, the terminal screen would rise to the 6.1 inch shrinking frames.

The device would not have Face ID, so the unlocking would be done with a button with integrated Touch ID. In the absence of this feature, the notch as we know it would disappear of the front screen, giving rise to a central hole for the selfie camera.

On the other hand, the analyst Ross Young dice that the iPhone SE with a larger screen (LCD from 5.7 to 6.1 inches) will not wait until 2024. Consequently, this year’s model would not make the expected jump and would retain its classic 4.7-inch LCD panel.

Young also goes further with his predictions. He says that Apple will bet on using the name “iPhone SE + 5G”. This is somewhat strange, since those from Cupertino have not used a label related to mobile network support since the days of the iPhone 3GThat is, almost 15 years ago.

As for the SoC, Nikkei Asia wishes that the third generation of iPhone SE will feature the A15 Bionic chip with 5G, the same as the current iPhone 13. Ming-Chi Kuo, meanwhile, is betting on an “updated A14 Bionic” with 5G capability.

If we talk about memory, the next terminal of Apple could keep the existing 3 GB of RAM. Although there is also the possibility that the jump to 4 GB. However, at this point the leakers do not agree either.

As for storage, 64 GB and 128 GB versions would be offered. Those in Cupertino had a 265 GB version of the current model that stopped offering in September of last year and it is not known if it will return with the iPhone SE 2022.

Regarding the camera, one of the most valued points of the Apple terminals, the renders del laker XLeaks7 let see that a single rear sensor. Although the details of the hardware are not known, this could have 12 megapixels, like that of the iPhone 11 or the iPhone XR.

When will it arrive and what will be its price?

Apple does not usually provide dates until shortly before its events (if it does not present its products via press release, although this would not be the case). However, if we take into account what happened in previous years, the company could present the iPhone SE 2022 this spring.

It must be remembered that we are in the midst of a chip shortage that is hitting various industries. And while Apple tends to be cautious and is considered a priority customer by semiconductor manufacturers, This scenario could cause changes in the product presentation schedule.

Finally, everything seems to indicate that the iPhone SE would continue to be the most affordable phone from the Cupertino company. Analysts are confident that will remain at the base of 489 euros ($399 in the US), though there’s a chance a raise will apply this year. For now, just wait.
