The presence of the iPhone SE 5G has long been rumored. The latest news, this cheap 5G iPhone from Apple will be launched in early March.
Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman said Apple will launch the new iPhone SE 5G and iPad Air on March 8, 2022. This will be Apple's first hardware launch event this year, as quoted from MacRumors, Sunday (6/2/2022).
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the launch of the new iPhone SE 5G and iPad Air will still be held online. Gurman also warned that the event's schedule could change due to production delays or other changes.
March 8, 2022 will fall on a Tuesday. Seeing that in previous years, Apple always held a product launch event on Tuesday, so this news is in accordance with Apple's track record.
In addition to the new iPhone SE 5G and iPad Air, Apple is also expected to roll out the iOS 15.4 update in early March. This update will bring many new features such as the ability to use Face ID without opening a mask, new emojis, and Universal Controls for Mac and iPad.
Talking about the Mac, there will reportedly be a new Mac product that uses a chip made by Apple. This product will be launched in March, but at a different event.
The iPhone SE 5G itself will have the same design as the previous model, with fairly thick bezels and physical buttons for Touch ID. The changes are more inclined to the internals, such as the A15 chip as used in the iPhone 13, 5G support, and improved camera technology.
