    LEEDAQ, 08 Oct 2021nah, SE3 will receive the notch display. SE3 will still use the IP8 design to distance itself from the more expensive IP13 Mini. Who would buy the Mini is the SE3 has the same design and internals?

      apple designer:a person who is making a ton of money with a couple drawing lines and a pencil.

        If you really want the best battery life from an iPhone, you really are forced to buy the Pro Max. Problem for me is I hate large phones like that. If it folds, then maybe. But it doesn't and it's way too wide as well. SE line is the bottom of the barrel with battery life. Hence, the lowest price.

          Smaller bezels would have been welcomed along with bigger battery that 5G eats.

            Jimbob, 08 Oct 2021Needs a redesign... touch ID on the back, bigger battery.. ... moreYou literally asking for a pixel 5A.

              I sincerely hope apple add an option to connect a car battery while playing games in it.

                    "but use same design as SE (2020)"

                    And thus it will have same very poor battery life.

                    Apple should not put such a powerful chip in it, the device is cheap and it's a total overkill compared to other hardware it has.

                    Unless the change the design which they will not if this article is true.

                            Keeping the power-hungry LCD with the small battery and adding the much more powerful chip + 5g makes it look like Apple is trying to break their own record of the shortest battery life on a smartphone ever!

                              nah, SE3 will receive the notch display.

                                SE might be the budget iPhones but they have the poorest battery life. Never used the SE2 but read the battery life is horrendous. My SE1 was bought brand new back in January. Battery life has only gotten worse each time I update it. And I might get 1 to 2 hour SOT if I use it for navigation.

                                I'm pretty much done with iPhones forever and ever. It's always great in the beginning but iOS gets more annoying the longer I use it. I like my torrent apps and emulators from Android without needing to root/jailbreak it. And I need a file manager to organize my files and move them to folders.

                                  Jump to XS for SE would of been nice. Not a lot bigger but with the notch and 5.8inch screen phone by only 5.4mm taller then SE 2020

                                    Disaster because Se 2020 failed to deliver when comes to battery backup and bezels sucks everyone thinks it’s iPhone 8 you need to say it’s Se 2020 😂 Body should be like iPhone 12 with notch display

                                      Haha. What a coincidence! I just sold my SE2020 for a half original price! I am sure I am not coming back to iPhone. Apple Tablets and laptops Yes! Phones No! Going skiing for the price of the new phone :)

                                        „so the revised SE model will serve as the pocket-friendly option for compact phone buyers.“

                                        It will not be the only one because the 12 mini and 13 mini will continue to be sold. The 11 is next up to be dropped, but the 13 mini has the same A15 chip and is better in multiple ways, including the higher price.
