Could the current iPhone SE drop to just $199 after March update?

iPhone SE 2022 launching in Q1 Gurman

Apple is expected to release the third iteration of the iPhone SE in March. While many commentators expect the new version of Apple's best-priced phone to incorporate the same 4.7-inch design as its predecessor, the refreshed device seems certain to feature a more powerful chip and 5G connectivity, among other improvements.

In keeping with Apple’s usual approach to pricing, we can expect the new iPhone SE to retail for around the same as the current unit, which starts at $399.

Apple iPhone SE 3 render leak shows off an iPhone XR revival

iPhone SE 2020 Product Red

New renders emerged today that purport to show off the Apple iPhone SE 3 (or iPhone SE 2022, if you prefer). The renders, from TenTechReview and leaker David Kowalski, show off an iPhone that looks a lot like the iPhone XR, but in the same body as the iPhone 8-style iPhone SE. Now, there are some caveats here, but let's dive into what the leak says first.

According to the new leak, this year's Phone SE will be a redesign of the 2020 version and look more like a cross between that and an iPhone XR. It'll still have a small and compact body, but it'll drop the bezels and adopt the notch, likely with Face ID replacing Touch ID. Going off the renders, it looks like a budget iPhone 13 Mini more than anything.
