Apple is planning to launch the iPhone SE 3 5G and the new iPad Air 5 at a new product event in March. Specifically, Apple will hold a new iPhone SE launch on Tuesday, March 8.
No design changes are expected for the next version of the iPhone SE. It will continue to look like the current 2020 iPhone SE, which is available in three colors: black, white and red, so we can see similar color options for the new model.
It will feature a 4.7-inch LCD display with a thick bezel and a Touch ID Home button, making it Apple's most modern iPhone that still offers Touch ID. All other iPhones have transitioned to Face ID, and there are rumors that future versions of low-cost iPhones will do the same, but not yet.
The back of the device will be made of glass for easy wireless charging, but does not include MagSafe technology. Like the old model, the new "iPhone SE" will have IP67 waterproof and dustproof features.
5G connectivity will be a major selling point for the new iPhone SE, and Apple is bringing 5G speeds to the more affordable iPhone.
The new iPhone SE features the A15.
The current iPhone SE has a video endurance of 13 hours, 8 hours for streaming video, 40 hours for audio listening, and supports fast charging, charging up to 50% in 30 minutes with a 18W or higher power adapter.
The iPhone SE is expected to come with an updated camera and will feature the iPhone 13's latest wide-angle camera.
The estimated starting price for the 2022 iPhone SE is $399, the same as the current 2020 model.
The new iPad Air will have similar features to the new iPad mini, including the A15 bionic chip, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide front camera with center stage support, 5G and Quad-LED True Tone flashes with support for cellular mode.
The overall design of the new iPad Air will be the same as the current model, including a single-lens rear camera.
