iPhone SE 3 expected to launch on March 8
The iPhone SE 3 is one of the most anticipated smartphones of the year. Apple is likely to unveil the third-generation iPhone SE next week, on March 8. The item has been found on an Asian carrier website as well as Belkin own website, indicating that the launch will most likely occur on the stated date.
What will be the official name of this device, it is currently unknown. According to some leaks and reports, it can be called iPhone SE 3 or iPhone SE Plus. Well, we will know about it on March 8.
Apple is not expected to change the design of the device as multiple leaks have suggested that it will sport the same design as the older model. The report also states that it comes with the same design that we have seen on the iPhone SE 2020.
This basically means you see a compact 4.7-inch screen, and a physical home button at the bottom, along with thick bezels.
Furthermore, the device is expected to include the latest and most powerful 5nm A15 Bionic 5G chipset, which is also found in the iPhone 13 series. This will be a 5G smartphone with a single 12-megapixel rear camera, according to rumours. For a better photography experience, it will be powered by an external X60XM 5G chip.
The iPhone SE 3 is said to cost $300, which converts to approximately Rs 22,604 in India. However, don't get too excited because the device will most likely cost more than Rs 30,000 in India due to customs duties and GST charges.
