Apple planning 2022 iPhone SE upgrade, followed by larger screen in 2023
Ming-Chi Kuo reports that following a small update to the iPhone SE in 2022, Apple will launch a larger-screen model in 2023.

Apple's original iPhone SE and first upgrade
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has issued a new report to investors regarding the Apple Watch, future AirPods Pro, and also details of the forthcoming Apple AR headset. He has also included new details of Apple's plans for the iPhone SE.
"We expect Apple to release a new iPhone SE in 2023 with a larger display than the 1H22 SE's 4.7-inch and 4GB of memory support (vs. 3GB in the 1H22 SE)," writes Kuo.
Kuo believes that Apple will release a third generation iPhone SE in the first half of 2022, and that it will continue to feature the same 4.7-inch size screen as the present model.
The larger model is to come at some point in 2023. As with his report on the Apple Watch range, Kuo expects that Luxshare-ICT will be the chief supplier.
Rumors surrounding another refresh of the iPhone SE have been swirling for some time. Rumors have varied between a 5G model, parallel releases of a new iPhone SE with a 5G and a larger screen, and more.

These constant same suggestions are irritating. Why does it have to expand edge to edge? Why can’t the edges be cut so it’s actually SMALLER with the SAME screen size?
A million devices a year is probably a rounding error for Apple, but there ARE a few value-driven old people like me who DO buy smaller iPhones, and do look to upgrade every few years.
The 2016 SE met my needs at the time, and the 2020 SE meets my modest needs for a phone-and-snapshot-camera perfectly.
An entry-level price point and years of iOS and app updates are added bonuses.
The SE designation used to mean that the device was somehow special. The original SE was a lot of function in a small package. Since then the following models were bigger, used older tech, and cheaper...not really special. Instead of the above refresh and seeing that the 13 Mini has the same cameras and tech as the 13 but in a smaller package, wouldn't it be more appropriate to call it the 13SE instead of Mini. Personally, I never liked the "Mini" moniker when applied to the iPhone. Implies not only a small size but also less functionality.
