Apple to release all 5G-enabled iPhones for 2022 lineup: Nikkei

July 21

Apple Inc will release from next year only 5G-enabled iPhones and will revamp its budget handset for the first time in two years, Nikkei reported on Wednesday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

It will start selling a 5G version of iPhone SE in the first half of 2022, the report said, adding that the budget iPhone would be powered by its A15 processor and its 5G connectivity would be enabled by Qualcomm Inc’s X60 modem chip.

Apple would not introduce an updated version of its iPhone Mini next year, after it failed to become popular among consumers, the report said.

Apple did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment outside business hours. Reuters
