The iPhone SE 3 will be Apple's cheapest 5G iPhone
Apple will reportedly be unveiling an overhauled iPhone SE 3 (2022) in the spring, if not in design, then in hardware.
While the 4.7" display panel and Touch ID finger scanner at the front allegedly won't change, the iPhone SE 3 specs would eventually include the powerful Apple A15 processor that is now in the iPhone 13.
Not only that, but it will be accompanied by Qualcomm's top-shelf X60 modem, according to Taiwanese supply chain sources, bringing 5G network support to the lowly SE series for the first time.
If the iPhone SE 3 is released with the next-gen connectivity standard at the same base $399 pricing tag as its predecessor the iPhone SE (2020), it will immediately become Apple's cheapest 5G iPhone, and that would undoubtedly be emphasized by the marketing team from Cupertino.
Granted, the Apple A15 processor coupled with a Qualcomm X60 5G modem will be old news by the time the iPhone SE 3 launches, yet it will keep its owners warm knowing it can run anything iOS throws at it for at least the next few years.
Moreover, it may allow Apple to upgrade the handset in the camera department - you know, Cinematic video and all - adding even more value to the nostalgia wolf in sheep's clothing that is shaping up to be the iPhone SE 3.
