It has just been rumored that Apple's low-priced iPhone SE series will be based on the iPhone XR (6.1-inch screen) in the third-generation model released in 2022. The current 2nd generation is based on the iPhone 8 (4.7 inch screen), and expectations were high that it would be a major model change from there.
But new, the iPhone SE (2022) has a 4.7-inch LCD screen, and analysts predict that it will continue to be based on the iPhone 8's form factor.
Display expert Ross Young told Twitter, "I heard that the next LCD iPhone announced in 2022 will be called SE Plus, equipped with the same 4.7-inch LCD as the 8, and compatible with 5G." Said.

For the 3rd generation iPhone SE, most rumors agree that it will "take over the design of the current 2nd generation model and become the iPhone 8 base." For example, famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also predicted that the screen will be 5.5 to 6.1 inches at one time, but in the end it has corrected the trajectory when it becomes the same design as the previous model, and other leading players such as Nikkei Asia and Mac treasure appraisal group Blog. I expect the source to be based on the iPhone 8,
The difference between the iPhone 8 base and the iPhone XR base is not only the screen size, but also "whether Touch ID remains built in the home button on the front of the main unit or is moved to the side power button". Chinese tech site MyDrivers admitted that it was a minority but was pushing for the XR-based theory, but once again it seems that one vote has been added to the iPhone 8-based theory.
However, the name Young claims "SE Plus" seems suspicious. Until now, Apple has used the "Plus" brand name for large screen models like the iPhone 7 Plus for the iPhone 7, and if the screen size remains 4.7 inches, it can be misleading to users.
However, Young is the founder and CEO of DSCC, a supply chain research firm in the display industry, and it's hard to believe that the product name itself is fake. So while the US 9to5Mac is misread by Young, the name may be accurate, and the iPhone SE Plus may be attached to the rumored 6.1-inch model that will be released in 2023 or 2024. I am giving my opinion.
Summarizing the expected specifications of the 3rd generation iPhone SE (2022), it has a 4.7-inch LCD screen like the iPhone 8 with a built-in Touch ID home button, but with the same A15 Bionic as the iPhone 13 series, it is compatible with 5G. is.
It may not be interesting for cutting-edge gadget lovers, but if you have a 4.7-inch screen with a high-speed A15 chip and low resolution, you can expect considerable processing speed. Above all, it may be possible to significantly accelerate the spread of 5G-compatible smartphones, which are said to be still sluggish, at a reasonable price and under the "iPhone" brand.
