If you follow the rumors about the iPhone SE 3, you already know one thing: In 2022 we will probably get a cheap iPhone with the familiar look.

Post on Twitter again confirms that we will see an iPhone SE with the familiar look in 2022

A few weeks ago I informed you about the signs of a redesign of the iPhone SE . At that time, it was analysts from TrendForce who commented on the upcoming Apple cell phone. A well-known leaker confirmed again on Twitter in January that we will see a 5G-capable iPhone SE 3 with the design of the iPhone 8 in 2022. However, “dylandkt” also comments on Apple’s plans to finally redesign the SE.

Apple is working on an iPhone SE that is a little reminiscent of the iPhone XR or the iPhone 11 . Since its release has been postponed, Apple is currently planning a release in 2024. He is referring to his own tweet from January 2021, in which he revealed further details about the cheapest iPhone.

What we already know about the redesign of the iPhone SE

While we list everything about the 5G-capable relaunch of the model in the familiar look on our iPhone SE 3 rumor page, we can collect everything about the planned redesign here. As leaker “dylandkt” wrote in January 2021, Apple could integrate the Touch ID sensor into the power button. Just like Apple is already doing with the current iPad Air and the iPad mini 2021 . The advantage here is that Apple could improve the screen-to-body ratio. Because without the complex sensors for Face ID, Apple could rely on a punch-hole notch in the display.

As MacRumors writes, display analyst Ross Young also speculates that Apple will focus on display sizes between 5.7 inches and 6.1 inches. There is also talk of a punch hole notch, which is also speculated for the iPhone 14 Pro lineup in 2022 .

If you’re a sworn fan of the iPhone SE, you’ll have to wait another two years for a breath of fresh air. Alternatively, there is already a compact smartphone from Apple with the iPhone 13 mini . In the linked article, we also compare other cell phones with small screens for you.
