The debut of the iPhone SE 3 is likely not also far off, and then allow's accept a wait at the combined blueprint and specs rumors condensed into some handsome new renders.

Published past TenTechReview in partnership with xleaks7, these renders bear witness a thoroughly updated iPhone SE. Information technology's still got a familiar shape and some features carried over from the older models, but in that location are a couple of very large changes that we hope make it to the bodily phone.

The overall shape is the aforementioned as the current iPhone SE, with curved edges instead of the iPhone 13 series' flat ones. The specific measurements are apparently 5.4 x 2.half-dozen x 0.28 - 0.32 inches (138.4 x 67.iii 10 7.3 mm - viii.two mm).

Information technology's hard not to detect the Face up ID notch added to the forepart of these renders. This has been rumored already, and is more than of a certainty for the iPhone SE model after this one, but is nonetheless believed to be coming to this new model likewise.

Based on xleaks7's sources, he'due south calculated that the phone will accept a 5.69-inch display as a effect. That's larger than the iPhone 13 mini, but smaller than the old 5.8-inch iPhone X and iPhone 11 Pro, resulting in a phone that resembles a slightly shrunken iPhone XR.

The back of the phone is evidently other than a single rear camera. This lines up with the iPhone XR blueprint and previous iPhone SE models, only information technology's nonetheless a flake disappointing. As good as the electric current iPhone SE's photography is from its singular lens, rivals in the all-time cheap phones category ordinarily acquit ii or more rear cameras for boosted versatility.

Much of the rest of the telephone is every bit you lot'd respect. The power button, volume buttons and alert slider are all in the same place every bit before. Information technology'south the same with the speakers and the Lightning port on the bottom border. No USB-C to be found here, although that'south hardly a surprise given Apple tree's only abandoned its proprietary mobile device connector on its fancier tablets similar the iPad Pro and the iPad mini so far.

These renders don't business relationship for all of the rumors nosotros've heard though. Some work with this pattern merely fine, like the use of a 5G-set up A15 Bionic chipset, or the price staying roughly the same as the previous model.

Nonetheless, other rumors discussing the design say we'll get another phone that looks like the iPhone 8, with a Impact ID home button and thick bezels, rather than the modernistic-looking phone we see in these renders.

As for the launch of the iPhone SE 3, in that location's one rumored opportunity for Apple coming up: March or April, the fourth dimension of the company'due south usual spring product showcase. That's not as well far off if it's the case, so we'll proceed listening out for more rumors as we go closer to that time.
