Apple is speculated to update its entry-level iPhone SE model in 2022 and rumor mills claim that consumers should not expect a major redesign of the model. A new leak by display analyst Young Ross says that Apple will call the next-generation model ‘iPhone SE Plus’, will come in the same 4.7-inch form factor as the 2020 iPhone SE and more.
Recently, MyDriver reported that the upcoming SE model will have the iPhone X industrial design, and will be Apple’s last iPhone model with an LCD display. iPhone X was the first smartphone model to feature the notch and removed the Home button. It was also said that the third-generation SE model would feature an A15 Bionic chip, 5G side, fingerprint scanner, and more.

As per the leak, the upcoming entry-level model will feature a 4.7-inch LCD display screen like the iPhone 8, which had thicker bezels and a Home button, and 5G network support. @Young also added that Apple will upgrade the SE lineup with a 5.7 inch – 6.1-inch LCD display in 2024. The display detail of the new iPhone SE model is corroborated by a Japanese publisher, Macotakara which also said that the new SE model will have the same design as the second-generation 4.7-inch iPhone SE (2020).
However, Young did not give the reason for pushing the launch date of the iPhone SE with a larger display ahead by a year. Previously, he reported that the 6.1-inch iPhone SE model with punch-hole display will launch in 2023.
We now hear the next LCD iPhone will be introduced in 2022 and called the SE Plus with the same 4.7" LCD as the 8 along with 5G. We hear the iPhone SE3 with a 5.7" – 6.1" LCD is now pushed to 2024. https://t.co/9gxiAAk8Yi

Buying trends for iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 showed consumers’ preference for larger displays. Both series offer 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch models, but 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch Pro models have been most buyers’ choices because of their larger display and advanced technology. Maybe, Apple wants to offer a cheaper model for the low-mid price range market.
