Driving China on January 20, 2022, it was reported that Apple is stepping up production of the 5G iPhone SE, which may be released in April or May.
The news said that the panel production for the display of the iPhone SE 3 will begin this month, and the actual production of the phone itself may start in March.

The design of the new iPhone SE is expected to be very similar to the current model, with a 4.7-inch display, home button and Touch ID.
In addition to the 5G-enabled iPhone SE, Apple is likely to launch a new iPad Air at the spring conference, and may also launch some new services as in previous spring conferences.
It is understood that although the iPhone SE does not represent Apple's latest and best design, the model is highly anticipated and will be the most affordable iPhone ever to support 5G. One analyst even believes that the 5G-equipped iPhone SE 3 is expected to attract 1 billion Android phone users to switch to Apple.
