The iPhone SE 2020, despite the dated design, attracted a lot of buyers looking to purchase a new iPhone at an affordable price. The iPhone SE 3 will be the successor to the iPhone SE.

The design language will most likely be the same as the current generation iPhone SE. You can expect it to look like the iPhone 8. The launch of the SE variant is also imminent due to the falling prices of the existing iPhone SE.

The Apple iPhone SE will feature 5G connectivity and it will also be the company’s cheapest 5G device on offer. The iPhone SE variant might be powered by the A15 chip. Apple is expected to launch a new iPad Air at the special event. This new iPad is expected to provide good value for money for the buyers. Apple will reportedly call it the iPad Air 5.

The new iPad Air 5 is expected to feature a better A15 chipset and an upgraded 12-megapixel front-facing wide-angle camera. The iPad Air is also expected to get a 5G variant. The Mac Mini is expected to get the new generation M2 chipset, in line with the MacBook Pro models launched last year.

The iPhone SE 3 is said to be powered by A15 Bionic chipset, which also runs the latest flagship iPhone 13 series. It is likely to sport iPhone SE (2020) like curved design with a single camera on the rear and front panel.

This iPhone model is likely to ditch FaceID for TouchID. In terms of specifications, the iPhone SE 3 is said to be an upgraded version with a competitive price tag. According to the report, the upcoming 5G iPhone SE 3 will be priced lower than $300, which roughly translates to around Rs 23,000. The exact pricing is yet to be revealed.
