The iPhone SE (2020) was the most attractive phone of the year, offering excellent Apple Plus hardware and software at a compact size and relatively low cost.
It wasn’t an entirely new concept for the company – after all, it follows the original 2016 iPhone SE, but it was a concept we hadn’t seen Apple Pal smash for a while.
It was very well received, so we think it is possible that we will see a follow-up, for now we are referring to the iPhone SE3. We haven’t heard much about this phone yet, but once we start hearing more, we’ll gather all the news and rumors here, so be sure to check back frequently for all the latest information.
For now though, we’ll get you everything you’ve heard, as well as a wish list of things, which we hope the iPhone SE3, will give below.
Come to the point
- What is this The next affordable iPhone
- When is he out Probably 20 2021
- How much will it cost? Probably $ about 9 399 / £ 419 / AU $ 749
IPhone SE3 release date and price
The iPhone SE (2020) was launched in April 2020, so the iPhone SE 3 could land in April 2021 if Apple goes with the annual launch, but if the company launches the first iPhone SE back in 2016, there is no guarantee. No.
Indeed, a leak indicates that the iPhone SE 3 won’t be available next year, so we’ll have to wait a long time for the phone – if we get it all.
Elsewhere, analysts at Wedbush Securities have suggested that a cheaper 4G version of the upcoming iPhone 12 will arrive in or around February next year.
While we’ll take this with a pinch of salt, it’s unlikely that Apple will launch the iPhone SE3 at the same time, suggesting we’ll have to wait a bit – although this could be the 4G iPhone 12 iPhone SE. In all except the name.
There is also the iPhone SE Plus to consider. This was rumored to be a short time after the iPhone SE (2020), and while we haven’t heard much about it lately, Ming-Chi Kuo (an analyst with a good track record when it comes to Apple) claimed in April that the iPhone SE Plus might be 2021. Don’t come in the second part.
So this is another thing that will land in or out of the iPhone SE3 – or maybe we’ll get the iPhone SE3 and iPhone SE3 Plus.
In terms of price, there’s no news, but the iPhone SE (2020) starts at $ 399 / £ 419 / AU $ 749, so the iPhone SE3 is likely to have the same price – if not slightly higher.
IPhone SE3 news and rumors
We haven’t heard much about the iPhone SE3 yet, but if it all ends up being the iPhone SE Plus with the named rumors, it probably is. The 4..7 inch iPhone will have a bigger screen than SE (2020). Rumors have put it at 5.5 or 6.1 inches.
Given that the iPhone SE (2020) is shipped with the latest available Apple Plus chipset we can also assume that the iPhone SE3 will do the same, probably the A14 which means we expect a debut in the iPhone 12 range.
What we want to see
As good as the iPhone SE (2020) is, there’s always room for improvement, so here’s what we need from the iPhone SE3.
1. A modern design
The iPhone SE (2020) is an old fashioned design, and older than the rest of the existing iPhone range. So we want to see the latest developments for iPhone SE3.
By that we mean get rid of the home button and the big bezel above and below the screen for a more modern look. Doing so will allow Apple to increase the screen size without increasing the overall size of the handset – or alternatively keep the screen the same size and also make the phone smaller.
2. An OLED screen with high resolution
The iPhone SE (2020) has a 750 x 1334 resolution IPS LCD screen, none of which has a sharp cutting edge.
Now, there are of course limitations to what can be done with a mid-range phone, but when you consider that the equally priced OnePlus Nord and Google Pixel 4 both operate high resolution and OLED technology (which is usually better contrast and Delivers other improvements. Vs. LCD), it’s hard to see how Apple could exclude these things from the upcoming iPhone SE model.
That said, we won’t count on getting anything – Apple Pal rarely competes with Android phones on pure specs.
3. Battery Better Life
The iPhone SE (2020) has a low of 1,821 mAh, which seems reasonable considering the compact size of the phone, but we found that it didn’t last as long as a day.
It’s not terrible, but it’s definitely not impressive, so we want a lot more from the battery battery in the iPhone SE3, whether it’s achieved by increasing the size or making things more efficient.
4. Keep it small and cheap
The iPhone SE (2020) comes out of both its small size and its relatively affordable price, and we want both of those things to remain for the iPhone SE3.
There aren’t a lot of action-packed phones anymore – definitely not with good specs and not known for being affordable to iPhones, so two things make for a nice combination.
5. More cameras
The iPhone SE (2020) has only one camera on the back and one on the front, and while they perform reasonably well, they don’t give you the versatility you can get with more lenses.
Of course, even though the iPhone 11 is just a dual-lens snapper, we don’t expect much more from the iPhone SE3, but when you consider that rivals like the OnePlus Nord and Moto G5G Plus have four cameras on the back and on the front, you Looks like an extra lens or two wouldn’t be too much to ask for.
6. 5g
At the time of writing, no iPhone 5G is supported. That will probably change with the launch of the iPhone 12, but we really hope to let the Pul Tech filter out on the iPhone SE 3, as it is already available on some of SE’s (2020) key competitors, most notably the OnePlus Nord and Moto G5G Plus, while Google has confirmed that the Pixel 4 is ahead of the 5G.
7. Higher refresh rate
Another feature offered by a number of competitors is the high refresh rate. The iPhone SE (2020) has a 60 Hz refresh rate, which until recently was for all handsets except gaming phones, but now many mainstream models have a 90 Hz or 120 Hz refresh rate.
It’s a feature that will likely offer some of the iPhone 12 range, but we’re not optimistic that Apple will bring it to the iPhone SE3, as none of the iPhones offer refresh rates, so Apple probably keeps the tech as tech. Premium feature for a while.
But it would be nice if the company started incorporating this as a standard feature – it could still make a difference by giving its flagships a rate of 120 Hz (or more) and the iPhone SE3 a refresh rate of 90 Hz.
