The next iPhone SE is expected in the first quarter of 2022

The third generation iPhone SE will be available in the quarter of 2022. It will be the cheapest 5G iPhone in the catalog.

If the rumors are true, Apple will no longer release the iPhone mini in 2022. This means that if you happen to want an entry-level iPhone, or at least an affordable iPhone, then you’re left with the iPhone SE variant. And according to the latest reports, the next iPhone SE should arrive in the first quarter of 2022.

The third-generation iPhone SE will be available in the quarter of 2022

At least that’s what specialist company TrendForce says, which seems to believe that the Cupertino-based company could announce a new iPhone SE in the first quarter of 2022. The last time the Apple brand offered the iPhone SE was in 2020, and the launch took place. April, to be exact. Apple didn’t release a new model in 2021, so it’s only logical to think that 2022 could be the next generation year for this family of devices.

It will be the cheapest 5G iPhone in the catalog.

In TrendForce’s own words, “In terms of product development, Apple will stick to the schedule to release the third generation iPhone SE in the first quarter of 2022 and four new generation models in the second half of 2022. this is expected to be an important tool to help Apple establish a real presence in the mid-range 5G smartphone market. Its production volume is expected to reach 25-30 million units by 2022.”

However, the next generation iPhone SE is rumored to be 5G compatible. In other words, for those who want a 5G iPhone but aren’t willing to pay the asking price for a flagship model, this could be a good alternative. The design of this model should always draw its inspiration from the iPhone 8, and it should be equipped with a 4.7-inch screen and Touch ID, with a more powerful chip, logically, than the previous generation.
