Those wanting a budget iPhone SE with a 5.7-inch edge-to-edge display will get their wish in 2023, according to a reliable tipster.

But before then, expect a model in this same series with a smaller screen and 5G.


Apple preps iPhone SE+ 5G and SE 3

Display expert Ross Young said Monday via Twitter that the next handset in Apple’s low-cost series will be called the iPhone SE+ 5G. This is expected to use the same design as the current version, including the same 4.7-inch display. The big change will be the addition of 5G high-speed cellular-wireless networking… as the name will supposedly reflect.

This model is expected in spring 2022. It could be as soon as March or April — the iPhone SE 2 launched April 15, 2020.

The followup will be dubbed the iPhone SE 3, according to Young’s tweet. It will have a 5.7-inch screen, and the tipster indicated it will resemble the render of a 5.7-inch iPhone SE that leaked last week.

But it won‘t be out until 2023. Still, that’s good news — the device might have been on hold until 2024.

Young is the founder of DisplaySearch. His predictions about upcoming Apple products have so far been 100% accurate, according to AppleTrack. He has been on something of a tear lately, leaking details of the iPhone 14 screen cutout, and the prospects for in-screen Touch ID and ProMotion display just within the last week.
