3 days before the upcoming “Apple” event on the eighth of this March, leaks from sources close to the American company revealed that a new iPhone will be announced at a cheap price.
Leaks linked to sources close to the American company show that the main product in the event is the new iPhone SE, a smartphone targeting budget buyers, according to Al Jazeera Net.
Apple called the upcoming “virtual” event “Peek Performance”, and it is scheduled to take place at ten in the morning California time (9 in the evening Mecca time).
But naming the event “Pick Performance” shows that there are products other than smartphones, perhaps intended to advertise MacBooks equipped with more powerful chipsets.
Experts expect the tech giant to unveil a new “cheap” iPhone, a refurbished Mac, and a boosted iPad Air.
Apple has not publicly confirmed any version of these products, but the main event is expected to be the new iPhone, as a previous leak indicated that the new iPhone will enter production in March.
Apple usually announces new iPhone models in September, but the company released a few more iPhones in the spring.
The new iPhone will be one of the cheaper SE category, which does not currently have a “fifth generation” (5G) option, as Apple began offering fifth generation phones only in 2020 with the release of “iPhone 12” (iPhone 12).
And Mark Gorman, a journalist at Bloomberg and a long-known leaker of Apple news, confirms that the “iPhone SE3” is on the way, and he expected this phone to be launched in March or next April. Gorman says that his sources have not explicitly confirmed that the device will be called “iPhone SE3”.
The iPhone SE was first launched in 2016, and is designed to be a cheaper option that works in tandem with the iPhone 6. Since that time the phone has proven its popularity, so Apple brought it back into production in 2020.
Rumors say the new phone will cost only $299, and the old iPhone SE will drop to $199.
And media reports recalled what was reported by Bloomberg Agency, about the odds that Apple would launch its new iPhone SE 3, and a new version of the tablet, the iPad Air 5, in addition to the latest version of its devices operating system, iOS 15.4.
And she expected that the storage capacity of the new iPhone will include 3 copies, 64, 128 and 256 GB, with prices starting at $ 300, and in 3 colors: white, lion and red, and it will integrate an A15 processor.
