Apple is reportedly holding its first event of the year on March 8. They will unveil a new iPhone SE, a new iPad Air, and at least one new Mac in March. Mark Gurman, a highly-reputed leaker, reports these products will be released on March 8. We don’t have more information about the iPad and Mac until now. However, the new iPhone has been leaked leaving nothing to the imagination. Here is what we know about the new iPhone:
iPhone SE+ 5G
iPhone SE+ 5G is expected to launch in Apple’s Spring Event. The second-generation SE came with the same design as iPhone 8. But, still managed to be successful courtesy of the A13 chip and the $399 price tag. The price to performance ratio was so good with the 2020 iPhone SE. Now, the time has come for its successor to launch. Ross Young, who has a great track record, has revealed key details about the upcoming special edition iPhone. He states that the next iPhone SE will be called the SE+ 5G.
The third-gen SE will have the same design as the last one. Same bezels on the front, Touch ID in the home button, single camera at the back, and 4.7″ LCD. However, the changes will take place internally. A15 Bionic SoC will be the main selling point of the budget iPhone. 5G will be the second biggest upgrade. However, an upgrade in the camera sensor is not likely.
Most people might think how can Apple sell a phone with such an outdated design. However, the reality is polarizing. The iPhone SE 2 was also a major hit. Now with an upgraded chipset, 5G and a sub-$400 price tag are more than enough for the new SE being a hit as well. The A15 bionic at this price would be unmatched. Moreover, a midrange iPhone allows users to get into the Apple ecosystem more easily. People can buy 3 Apple products instead of just an iPhone. Just because of the SE. Instead of buying a 13 Pro Max and ending up broke, one can buy the SE and also an Apple Watch and AirPods as well. This is the major reason why Apple is making the SE+.
