Apple iPhone SE 3 launch update: In good news for iPhone fans, the Cupertino-based tech giant Apple is reportedly planning to launch a new iPhone SE model with upgraded connectivity and internals. The Apple iPhone SE 3 will feature 5G connectivity instead of 4G seen in the iPhone SE 2020.
The smartphone is also expected to come with improved performance with upgraded internals. The notable upgrades on the third-gen SE are said to be Apple’s latest A15 Bionic chip and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X60 5G modem just like on the iPhone 13 Series, according to the news agency IANS.
In terms of design, the upcoming iPhone is expected to feature a 4.7-inch LCD with bottom and top bezels, Touch-ID sensor/home button in the same aluminum body. The new report specifies that production for the SE 3 should start around December 2021 while the phone should see its announcement come Spring 2022.
To recall, the iPhone SE (2020) is powered by Apple’s A13 Bionic chipset with a third-generation Neural Engine. It houses two cameras, one on the back and the other one at the front.
Meanwhile, Apple has ceased code signing for iOS 15, effectively blocking users from downgrading to the now out-of-date operating system. The stoppage comes after Apple halted signing for iOS 14.8 and leaves the recently released iOS 15.0.1 as the only upgrade option, AppleInsider reported.
Launched late last month, iOS 15 is Apple’s next-generation operating system that introduces many new features, improvements and user interface modifications. New features include Live Text and Visual Look Up, Focus, upgraded Apple Maps, Health app updates, iCloud+ integration, a Safari redesign, and more.
Apple issued iOS 15.0.1 in early October to address iPhone 13 hardware issues including a bug that prevented users from unlocking the handset with Apple Watch. Certain vulnerabilities, like a lock screen bypass, were also patched.
