While confirmed information on the upcoming SE is sparse—if not totally nonexistent as Apple is historically mum leading up to new releases—gadget leakers and industry experts are now claiming that the iPhone SE may be coming out this year.

Here's everything tech insiders are saying about the upcoming smartphone.

What to Expect From the 2022 Version of the iPhone SE, According to Gadget Leakers​

In a nutshell, Apple’s more low-cost iPhones tend to follow a similar pattern: they’re modeled after older versions of the flagship device and make use of less state-of-the-art hardware, but are also powered by an upgraded chipset to improve functionality. Likely, the 2022 version of the SE is following suit.

What will the new iPhone SE look like?​

The 2020 iteration was modeled after the iPhone 8 with a rounded build, a single camera lens on the back, and a home button up front. The most recent SE is currently the newest iPhone on the market that doesn’t have an all-screen interface.

Tech analyst Ross Young, a big name in the display industry, was one of the first to leak the information about a new iPhone SE. You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

The back of the device may be made of glass, suggests MacRumors, but won’t include MagSafe technology, which allows wireless chargers to be attached magnetically. We may also be seeing the updated SE in similar color options as the 2020 version, namely Black, White, and (PRODUCT)RED.

"The iPhone 8 chassis is just modern enough to still be desirable," they say. "The curved edges will be appealing to those that haven’t fallen in love with Apple’s more brutalist, industrial design since the You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

Will the iPhone SE have an upgraded camera system?​

One of the main drawbacks of Apple sticking to its iPhone 8-inspired SE design will be the lack of a dual or triple camera system, which has become the norm for flagship iPhones since the iPhone X's release in 2017. For the 2022 SE, "single lens looks likely to remain, but with a better sensor," says Tech Radar. For reference, the 2020 version of the low-cost iPhone had a 12-megapixel rear lens and a 7-megapixel front-facing cam.

However, though the previous iPhone SE had just a single lens on the back, the device was able to improve its older hardware with an upgraded chipset that worked to enhance the photos taken with the older lens model, Tech Radar observes. If the same improvements will be made to the 2022 SE, we may still be seeing a better-quality camera on the smartphone even as the hardware stays the same.

Will the new iPhone SE have 5G capability?​

Unlike the previous SE (or even newer flagship models like the You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.), the new iPhone SE may have 5G capability—likely one of the low-cost device’s biggest selling points. In fact, it could be the cheapest 5G iPhone on the market upon release, depending on its retail price. Currently, that title is held by the iPhone 12 Mini, which had a starting price of P43,990 upon release and now retails for P38,990.

What will the smartphone be called?​




Many are referring to the upcoming iPhone SE as the iPhone SE 3 as it would be the third iteration of the device. However, following the statements he made in April of 2021, Young You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. referred to the smartphone as the iPhone "SE Plus."

Despite the "plus" in its name, 4.7-inch display size prediction remains. Following Young's statements, You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. speculated on the meaning of the name, noting that while Apple has historically used "plus" to denote a larger screen size, the naming standard has since changed with larger models using the label "pro max" as seen in the iPhone 11, 12, and 13. "Apple may be planning to recycle the "plus" name," they said.

How much will the new iPhone SE cost?​

MacRumors reports that the 2022 iPhone SE is expected to start at U.S. $399 (roughly P20,538), which was also its predecessor’s starting price. In the Philippines, the budget-friendly smartphone started at P27,490 for the 64 GB model, P31,990 for the 128 GB, and P37,990 for the 256 GB.
