Errr... You mean after the iPhone 6.
Almost 8 years we've been seing this design... 🤢🤮
The last thread was on these two entering production. Now we have a date when they will be shown.
it will be the shortest keynote ever if they only have those 2 products. Let's hope for a surprise that nobody was expecting
Oh..ok.
Definitely couldn’t just use the other thread with an updated title
(Or merge them)
Lol
Wonder what that battery on that little SE with 5G is going to look like. If the battery barely keeps its nose above water when brand new, I fear how it will do a year or two into ownership.
I fully expect the Apple car to be announced then as well ??
He’s the guy that leaked/showed you what multiple products are going to look like this year…
Sorry… does that not fit your narrative?
The iPhone SE 2020 has a glass back and the iPhone 8 has a glass back so technically he is correct...
Unless my memory has gone to heck, and I'm not discounting that, I'm pretty sure this is how things went in 2020 for the SE2's reveal.
I had an SE2 but did not like the battery life.
I now have an iPhone 11 and really like the battery life. My opinion on the notch hasn't changed (bad design) and I much prefer TouchID and a 16:9 screen.
If GSMArena's battery life tests show promise I might very well unload the 11 for the SE3. I'd consider the Verge's review as well for a purchasing decision... if I was an idiot. Yes, I editorialized a bit at the end there.

Unlikely. Last Year iOS 14.5 beta started Feb 1st and first RC was April 20th, 2021, went public April 26th. Same time this years betas including iOS/iPadOS 15.4 are first to encompass Universal Control along with MacOS 12.3 beta cycle.
People always forget that services represent over 20% of Apple revenue.
That date doesn't gel wth the current beta cycle just started encompassing Universal Control.
As others mention, I don't think this is enough for an "event". Either there is going to be some other stuff, or it will just be some press releases.
I'm standing by waiting for a Mac Mini M1 Max, literally ready to order when the store updates after the event. If they're just announcing an iPhone and an iPad I'll be a sad panda.
Those services are tied to Apple hardware:
Services revenue like iCloud storage, Apple Music, Arcade, Apple TV, etc. only make sense if you use these combined with Apple hardware.
Tim Cook just announced last week Apple has 1.8 billion active devices worldwide.
That's right, it's a lot of Apple hardware.
Greedy Apple doesn’t know the meaning of “low-cost”. Less expensive, perhaps, would be a better term…
There have been no real rumors pointing to a Spring 2022 launch for the iPad Pro. It looks like a Fall release with M2 processor.
Why are they greedy now all considering? Want to discuss how much Apple products used to cost when the dollar was worth a lot more way before iPhones?
