Rumors are circulating that Apple is planning to release a new budget iPhone, the iPhone SE 3, as soon as March 2022. However, this new model will have to compete with the current iPhone SE (2020), which delivers a powerful A13 Bionic chip in a compact body. Apple is hosting the first event of 2022 on March 8 and the tech world is buzzing about the Apple iPhone Se 3. Although it is not official yet, here is what we know according to the rumors. Leaked Features of Apple iPhone SE 3 Design According to multiple reports, it is believed that the new iPhone SE 3 will retain the same design as the current iPhone SE. This speculation comes from Japanese Apple blog Macotakara and analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and DSCC's Ross Young. They think that it will be Apple's most affordable phone of this generation, which will offer a 4.7-inch LCD screen like the iPhone 8. Read Samsung Galaxy M23: Is it worth waiting for this device? However, it was once rumored that the phone will have a 5.5-inch display, apparently, we have to be happy with a 4.7-inch LCD. So, the iPhone SE 3 will keep the home button with Touch ID and it may come with midnight and starlight color variants. Processor and Storage The 2020 iPhone SE uses A13 Bionic chip. Hence, the new phone may offer an upgraded chip. According to Macotakara and Ming-Chi Kuo, we may expect to see the A15 Bionic Chip, which is the same as the iPhone 13 series.

Hence, it is evident 2022 SE will follow the iPhone 13 series’ processor. The current SE model offers 64 GB and 128 GB. There are rumors circulating that the iPhone SE 3 could come in a 128GB storage option, just like the iPhone 13 line. This would be great news for those who want a more affordable iPhone with a good amount of storage space. Camera At this time, there are no rumors circulating regarding the camera on the iPhone SE 3. However, it is likely to have the same design as the iPhone 8, which means that it will only feature one main sensor.

The current SE phone features a 7MP front-facing camera. A 12MP sensor would be great for the phone, as it would improve photo quality, especially in low-light situations. Additional features that could be included are Night Mode, Cinematic Mode, and Photographic Styles. While these features are not currently rumored, they would be great additions to the phone. 5G Capability There is a lot of speculation surrounding the iPhone SE 3, with one of the most popular rumors being that it will include 5G connectivity. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that this will be one of the phone's biggest upgrades, along with a better processor. Read OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G Review: Is it worth it?

In tests conducted by Tom's Guide, the iPhone SE only lasted for 9 hours and 18 minutes when connected to a 4G network. The A15 Bionic processor is expected to improve the efficiency of the iPhone SE 3, and we hope that Apple will also include a larger battery in the device.
