Apple introduced a new generation iPhone SE this year, which is the most expensive phone. While the iPhone 2022 SE will retain the same design as the previous generation based on the iPhone 8, it looks like things will be very different with the next model. According to YouTuber John ProsserThe next iPhone SE will have the same form factor as the iPhone XR.
Reporting on the Prosser podcast “Ready” with Andrew Edwards and John Rettinger (via Apple TrackerThe next generation iPhone SE, also referred to as the iPhone SE 4, will be the “iPhone XR”. This suggests that Apple will ditch the old iPhone 8 form factor with larger bezels and a home button in favor of a more modern design with fewer bezels, notch, and Face ID.
While the current iPhone SE has a 4.7-inch LCD screen, the iPhone XR (which Apple no longer sells) has a 6.1-inch LCD. The iPhone XR also has some other advantages over the 2022 iPhone SE, such as a much larger battery.
Other details about the new iPhone SE are unclear at this point. In the past, Apple has added its latest chip to the entry-level iPhone SE – the current model uses the same A15 Bionic chip as the iPhone 13. However, with some iPhone 14 models rumored to have an A15 chip, the same could be true for the next iPhone SE.
In terms of cameras, the 2022 iPhone SE and iPhone XR have identical sensors with the same 12MP rear camera. F/1.8 aperture, 7 MP front camera F/ 2.2 slot. Of course, Apple could improve the camera sensors for the next iPhone SE, or at least add new software features like Night Mode (which isn’t available on the entry-level iPhone).
iPhone SE grows up
On the other hand, fans of smaller phones will not be pleased with the growing size of the iPhone SE. When the first iPhone SE was announced in 2016, Apple argued that it was designed for people who wanted smaller phones. After all, the 2016 iPhone SE is based on the iPhone 5s. So far, the current iPhone SE is much smaller than any other iPhone model except the iPhone Mini.
At the same time, the demand for iPhone SE 2022 is very low, which indicates that people are not interested in buying an iPhone with a design that is nearly a decade old. The smaller screen results in a smaller battery, which is a constant complaint from iPhone SE owners.
Replacing the current iPhone SE with a new iPhone XR-based phone will cost around $400.
We also don’t know when Apple plans to launch the new iPhone SE. Last time, it took two years between the launch of the second generation and the third generation of the iPhone SE. Until then, if you’re looking to buy your current iPhone SE, there are some good deals on Amazon.
