We have the latest on the iphone se 2021 release date
and price could we finally be getting an iphone se plus based on an iphone xr design
and will we get an a14 chip inside and what about other specs well everything is coming right up.
So last year we had a total of five iphone models launched we at the end part of the year had four
new iphone 12 models and we also got the second generation iphone se at the beginning part of
the year apple put their iphone se model up for sale alongside the iphone 12 models the iphone 11
and also the iphone xr the iphone se is one of the best budget smartphones you can buy
out there as the price starts at 400 us dollars and it's appealing and it's still faster than
most of the top line flagships in 2021 that will cost around three times as much as the iphone se
the price isn't also the best factor the camera system is very good and also the knowledge of
software support will be around for about four years makes this phone very appealing to mid-range
budget android rivals out there however there is a bit of a downer the screen size is only
4.7 inches and for example in comparison the brand new iphone 12 mini has a 5.4 inch screen
and the body is actually smaller than the se however this phone will cost you three hundred
dollars more so it only seems logical for apple to bring in another budget phone with a bigger screen
and reuse the design that has worked well already this is where the iphone se plus comes into play
it is believed that the iphone se plus will replace the iphone xr in apple's lineup as making
a bigger screen iphone that is comparable to the iphone xr and its price just wouldn't make sense
apple actually have done this before in the past when they brought out the current iphone se
and they discontinued selling the iphone 8. so let's start with the release date it was
imagined for the iphone se plus to come out at the apple spring load of the event here in 2021
but that did not seem to happen but as seen here and reported by 9 to 5 mac the iphone sc plus
may not launch until the second half of 2021. this is according to apple amalie's min chi quo
previously predicted that the iphone se plus would have a release date of the first half of 2021
but is reportedly being postponed so why this delay it could be because of the coronavirus
pandemic and also the mentioned four new iphone 12 phones launching so it's doubtful that they
would want to rush out a lower priced iphone that could help people holding back for the iphone se
plus instead for a couple of months instead of getting an iphone 12 model however i would say
it's most likely we'll be getting our hands on the iphone se plus a couple of months or a few
months before the iphone 13 announcement next for price there's no firm info on the possible
iphone se plus price yet but the iphone se plus would resemble the iphone 8 plus in looks
just like the iphone se 2020 looks like a normal iphone 8 so this means the classic 5.5 inch screen
and we expect apple to charge about 100 us dollars premium over the current iphone se so
the iphone se plus may have a price of starting around 499 us dollars for a 64 gigabyte option
jumping all the way up to 128 gigabytes and that would cost you probably 50 more so 549
for design this is where it gets tricky why some reports point to the iphone se plus
having a screen size of 5.5 inches others are saying it will have a 6.1 inch panel
a lot of this depends on whether apples decides to recycle the iphone 8 plus design or go in a new
direction and possibly use the design of an iphone 10r analyst ross young believes that apple could
opt for a 6.1 inch lcd screen on what he is calling the iphone se3 however we believe apple
will use the iphone 8 plus design instead to keep costs down sticking with design it would mean a
5.5 inch display and larger bezels on the top and bottom and also touch id and a home button as well
as for the screen itself we expect an lcd panel as opposed to an oled one which would allow apple
to keep the price down again all four iphone 12 models now have an oled screen so an lcd iphone sc
plus would make sense just like the normal iphone se the most interesting rumor is that the iphone
sc plus could also have no ports at all apple is said to be making an iphone that is portless
and front page text john process says that it is most likely not to be in a flagship device
this leaves the door open for the iphone se plus however we also hear that the iphone 13 could be a
portless phone a portless iphone would allow apple to ditch the lightning port and experiment further
with the magsafe option reason for doing this it wouldn't take such a big risk instead of putting
a portless phone on a flagship like the iphone 13. but for now it's hard to say whether apple would
make this bold move with the iphone se plus for my own opinion i am the opposite way around i doubt
we will see an sc being portless next year and i believe it will be the iphone 13 pro models to be
portless in any of them for chipset and ram and storage apple may very well decide to stick with
its current a13 bionic processor that's inside the current iphone se for the larger iphone se plus
but if the company is truly holding off until the second half of 2021 it's more likely that
the iphone sc plus will get the same a14 bionic chip that's the same one we've just got in the
iphone 12 and we'll probably be getting an a15 in the iphone 13 instead so to put an a14 inside it
a couple of months before the iphone 13 does make sense for ram we believe the sc plus will have 4
gigabytes of ram just like the normal iphone 12 models and the iphone 12 mini apple could also
include the same storage options as well and this includes 64 128 gig and 256 gigabytes for camera
the iphone se has a single rear 12 megapixel camera and a 7 megapixel selfie camera up front
but it does use that super powerful photography features of the a13 bionic that makes photos
some of the best on a budget mid-range phone at the moment you get portrait mode smart hdr
and extended dynamic range in 4k video the iphone sc plus could be even more versatile
the iphone 8 plus included both a standard lens and a telephoto lens for optical zoom and apple
may follow a similar path for an iphone se plus however saying that apple went in a different
direction with the iphone 11 giving the phone two lenses but one being an ultra wide lens and one
being a normal wide lens and apple did the same for the normal iphone 12 as well so an iphone se
plus will probably have two rear cameras though we do not know if they're gonna opt for a telephoto
or an ultra wide lens on that second lens on the phone one thing i would expect from an iphone se
plus is night mode it's one of the biggest missing features on the regular iphone se
and there's nothing that leads me to believe that apple couldn't add it to its existing budget phone
as the software and the chipset inside the sc and the same chipset what's inside the iphone 11
and a slightly more powerful one in the 12 features this so the iphone se 2020 could be able
to do this as well so fingers crossed that the iphone se plus will definitely have this inside it
one of the biggest downers though of the iphone se is its battery life and it does
not fare well with reviewers or even users it has a small 1821 milliamp battery that lasts around
nine hours for basic web surfing this is well behind the 11 hour mark which is the benchmark
what is needed in 2020. the iphone 8 plus packed a 2675 milliamp battery which lasted
over 11 hours so the iphone sc plus could easily be one of the longest lasting batteries around
especially for its money plus apple may even give the phone a slightly bigger battery and it's also
presumed we'd get that new 5 nanometer a14 bionic processor what's even more efficient than the a13
7 nanometer processor so we could expect a battery life between 12 to 13 hours what is amazing
as for charging it is still believe we'll get a lightning port on this phone but i expect
just a cable in the box for anyone who doesn't know when apple released the iphone 12 models
they also stopped putting charges in the boxes for the iphone 11 the xr or 10r and also the se
what they sell from now on like the iphone se the plus would presumably support qi wireless charging
so it should work on some of the best wireless chargers out there however i doubt it will have
magsafe magnets inside it because of the iphone 8 plus design well guys that is the
latest we have on the iphone se plus what are your initial thoughts on it and will you purchase one
