The most affordable iPhone that Apple has in its official catalog will not be renewed until 2022, with a new design that will include a screen for the entire front and a fingerprint sensor on the power button.
The success of the iPhone SE is beyond question. Both the first model and the one that Apple launched last year have been very well received by users, something that is not surprising given that it is a model that meets "Top" specifications with a very affordable price, as long as you don't mind that its design is somewhat outdated. But it is not a model that Apple renews every year, and this will also happen this time: according to Ming Chi Kuo we will not see a new iPhone SE until the first half of 2022.
The good news is that this wait will bring with it a completely new design, with a front that will be all screen, and with a fingerprint sensor that will go from the start button to the power button, as we can see in the new iPad Air. Other important changes will occur inside the device, with a renewed processor (which should be the same as the new iPhone 13) and 5G connectivity.
There has also been talk of an iPhone SE Plus, with a larger screen than the current SE, which could be very similar to the iPhone 8 Pius (just like the iPhone SE is almost identical to the iPhone 8). This last rumor must be put into quarantine because it does not seem too likely that Apple will diversify its cheaper iPhone so much, leaving that who wants to opt for a larger screen directly go for an iPhone 12, which within a year will have a more affordable price that now. Anyway, almost a year after we see the next iPhone SE, surely there is time for many rumors about this future model.
