A tipster revealed that the next-generation iPhone SE to be released in 2022 will use the same 4.7-inch display as the second-generation iPhone SE. The second-generation iPhone SE design is based on the iPhone 8, with a 4.7-inch display.
There have been rumors that Apple is developing an “iPhone SE Plus” that may be released this year, but earlier this month, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that there will be no new iPhone SE series before 2022.
The tipster also disclosed that after the minor update of the iPhone SE in 2022, there may be more radical design changes in 2023. As reported, Apple is developing a 6.1-inch version of the iPhone SE that uses a perforated design instead of bangs.
