US tech giant Apple's iPhone lineup has been hailed as one of the most revolutionary innovations in the global smartphone market. The iPhone has gone through about 12 generations since 2007. Apple's iPhones are at the top of demand around the world every year due to premium build quality, flagship performance, high-end optimization, improved security, and best band value. In the past few years, Apple has only launched the flagship iPhone, but for a year now it has been launching a relatively cheap iPhone.
When will the iPhone SE 3 be released?
We expect the iPhone SE 3 to launch in autumn 2021, alongside the iPhone 13. That's roughly 18 months after the launch of the second-gen iPhone SE, which came out in April 2020.
In addition to the regular lineup of the iPhone, Apple also has a special iPhone lineup, which is called the iPhone Special Edition or iPhone SE for short. After the first iPhone SE was launched in 2016, Apple brought the second member of the lineup iPhone SE 2 to the market in 2020. The iPhone SE 2 was launched at a slightly lower price than the premium iPhone. And Apple has received a very positive response.
Following the success of the iPhone SE 2020, the company is planning to bring the third version of the SE lineup iPhone SE 3 to the market in 2021. Recently, the Japanese media ‘Mac Otakara’ first published a report on the matter. According to them, the iPhone SE 2021 device may be launched with Apple's second-generation AirPods. However, the media did not provide any information about the possible feature specification or features of this upcoming iPhone.
How much will the iPhone SE 3 cost?
We expect the new iPhone SE to cost £399/$399 for the entry-level model.
Again, there's not a long history to guide us in this area, but with the original baseline iPhone SE launching at £379/$399 (albeit for 16GB of storage) and the iPhone SE (2020) coming in at £419/$399 for the 64GB entry-model, it seems very likely that any new version will try to keep around the £400/$400 mark.
Note that the price of the iPhone SE smartphone is slightly lower than the regular iPhone. As a result, the popularity of the SE (Special Edition) line-up iPhone is skyrocketing for Apple fans. In the midst of the Corona epidemic in 2020, the mid-level iPhones were the only ones to keep Apple in the market. So it is not unreasonable for Apple to focus on its mid-level market.
