Next-Gen iPhone SE Expected In Q1 2022

If the rumors are to be believed, in 2022 Apple may no longer be launching the iPhone mini series. This means that if you wanted an low-cost iPhone, or at least relatively low-cost, then the iPhone SE series would be your best bet, and according to the latest reports, the next-gen iPhone SE is expected to launch in Q1 2022.

This is according to research firm TrendForce who believes that Apple might announce a new iPhone SE in the first quarter of 2022. The last time Apple updated the iPhone SE was in 2020 where it launched in April. Apple skipped a new model for 2021, so it makes sense that 2022 could be a likely candidate for the next model in the lineup.

According to the TrendForce report, “In terms of product development, Apple is staying with the plan to release its third-generation iPhone SE in 1Q22 and four models under a new series in 2H22. The third-generation iPhone SE is expected to be a major instrument in helping Apple establish a presence in the market segment for mid-range 5G smartphones. Its production volume for 2022 is forecasted to reach 25-30 million units.”

As per the rumors, the next-gen iPhone SE could support 5G which means that for those who want a 5G iPhone but don’t want to pay for the flagship series, this could be a good alternative. The design of the phone is expected to continue drawing inspiration from the iPhone 8 and will feature a 4.7-inch display and Touch ID. The main draw is also said to be the inclusion of 5G and a faster chipset.
