Here’s everything we’ve heard about a mid-range iPhone SE Plus to be released as a larger mid-range Apple phone.
We originally heard about the iPhone SE Plus just before iPhone SE (2020) debuted, as rumors suggested a larger version would come at the same time or slightly after. A year and a half later, it’s starting to look like that might not be right. In fact, the iPhone SE 3 might come before a Plus-sized model does — but that’s ok, because the iPhone 13 mini is probably the exact same size an SE Plus would be. Sure, it’s a little pricey, but rumors did suggest Apple wouldn’t put out a new iPhone SE if a mini iPhone was coming. Phones have got a lot bigger since the original iPhone SE launched. Even though the 2020 model is larger than the original with a 5.5-inch display, today’s handsets have screens getting ever closer to 7 inches. So could the iPhone SE Plus still be coming? Well, never say never, though it’s looking increasingly unlikely. We haven’t heard too much about this larger model of the mid-range handset – including why it’s being released later than its smaller sibling. But we’ve gathered what we’ve heard below, along with a section about what we want to see. We don’t know when the iPhone SE Plus will come out, though rumors have suggested that the iPhone SE Plus is at least in the works. Noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo estimated we might not see the iPhone SE Plus until the second half of 2021, but even that’s starting to seem unlikely. Prolific Apple leaker Jon Prosser suggests the iPhone SE Plus could come out in 2021, though they sound pretty vague about that fact, and it was a small tit-bit added to news about the iPhone 13 mini.
