On January 18, Ross Young, founder and CEO of the display industry consulting company DSCC, recently broke the news that Apple plans to release the fourth-generation iPhone SE with a 5.7-inch display as early as 2023, and he has proved to be a reliable source of information for Apple products, and the information grasp of the supply chain such as display panels is very accurate.
He previously said that Apple's new generation of iPhone SE may use a 5.7-inch or 6.1-inch display, so some netizens believe that Apple will launch the iPhone SE Plus, and now it seems that the new machine he found will be 5.7 inches in size, and the release time is more likely to be in 2023 than in 2024, which was previously speculated.
Interestingly, Young believes that the model that has been rumored to be the iPhone SE+ 5G that will be launched this year, that is, the third generation of the iPhone SE, which has the same design as the current iPhone SE, including a 4.7-inch display, the main difference is the A15 chip and support for 5G.
And this week, according to Mac Otakara, Apple is planning to release a number of new products this spring, including the fifth-generation iPad Air and the third-generation iPhone SE.
Among them, Apple's pricing of the new iPhone SE is set below $400, which is further reduced from the previous generation of iPhone SE (starting from $399), which may mean that the starting price of this new machine in China is expected to further decline to near 3000 yuan (the current domestic starting price is 3299 yuan).
In addition, about this year's new iPhone SE, there are the following details, the processor will be equipped with the iPhone 13 series of the same "residual blood" version of the A15 processor, plug-in Snapdragon X60M baseband, support dual-mode 5G network.
In other configurations, the new iPhone SE will still use a 12-megapixel single camera design in the upper left corner, but thanks to the blessing of the A15 processor, the performance in terms of imaging should be improved to a certain extent compared with the previous generation, and other configurations have almost no gap compared with the iPhone SE 2.
In addition, if the foreign media news is true, then we can completely think that this is the core version of the iPhone SE 2, and the selling point is only the A15 processor and the price of about 3,000 yuan. The previously rumored design that will use the iPhone XR/11 mold may be postponed to 2024.
