Sources within the component supply chain are reportedly expecting orders for an updated iPhone SE in the first half of 2022.
Backing up recent claims by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, a new report says that Apple is planning to launch an updated version of the entry-level iPhone.
According to Digitimes Asia, unspecified industry sources say that orders for the phone will create new business for what it calls chip probing specialists. Chip probing is part of the quality testing process, and the publication's sources say that the work will be done by Xintec.
Xintec is a subsidiary of Apple's chip manufacturer TSMC. The Xintec subsidiary is a supplier for components for the original iPhone SE, and the newer model as well.
Digitimes has a strong reputation for the information provided by its sources. However, it has a much poorer track record in the conclusions it makes from that information.
In this case, the timeframe of H1 2022 does fit with Ming-Chi Kuo's estimates. Kuo also expects that this updated iPhone SE will remain the same size, but add both 5G and a newer A-series processor.
