Yeah, that's a bit of wishful thinking on my part. But I don't know what controls all this or why they would, or wouldn't, do this or that.
But I do think the SE stays as is, but gets the A15, in the first half of 2022. I don't think they'd let it stay at A13 until 2024.
The rest is fun to think about. They probably barely factor that model into their plans.
I don't know if anything can be gleaned from the timing and "based on" design...but I'm gonna try!
The original 2016 SE used the iPhone 5s design (a model that came out in 2013, three years earlier).
The 2020 SE 2 used the iPhone 8 design (a model that came out in 2017, three years earlier).
See where I'm going...?
CONFIRMIFICATED!!! The 2024 iPhone SE will be based on the 2021 iPhone 13 (three years earlier), mini or otherwise.
Hey, the numbers hold up...a redesign every four years, based on a model that
was the ~$650 flagship iPhone three years earlier. Put me down for a yes!
