According to a last-minute rumour before Apple’s launch event, the new iPhone SE is said to boast MagSafe, Ceramic Shield, and a longer-lasting battery.

It may be just a matter of hours before Apple’s event kicks off, but that hasn’t put a stop to the ever-turning rumour mill. The latest whisperings about the upcomingiPhone SE 2022now indicate that it will offerMagSafesupport,Ceramic Shieldprotection, and also better battery life.

The following rumours were made public by the useryeux1122on the Korean blog site Naver, and were since circulated byMacRumors.

MagSafeis a technology that’s been present in Apple’s mainline smartphone series since the release of theiPhone 12, and for many Apple fans it has proved to be a very useful tool. Using magnetic attraction that is built into the device’s internal engineering, the technology supports numerous accessories including cases, batteries, camera mounts.

Ceramic Shieldis another upgrade that was first introduced with the iPhone 12 series and was since adopted by theiPhone 13. This innovation toughens up the glass to protect it from bumps and scratches, by embedding ceramic nanocrystals into the glass and using dual-ion exchange to increase the size of the ions to make the surface more resistant. If you ever find yourself in the sickening situation of dropping your iPhone to the floor, you should find that screens with this tech are less likely to shatter.

Additionally, it is stated by the same source that thebatteryimprovements will be “significant”, though it is not clear whether this is because of an actual increase in the capacity or merely because of the efficiencies that will be brought to the phone due to the introduction of theA15 Bionicchipset. Given that we criticised theiPhone SE 2for its “far from excellent battery life”, we certainly hope that this rumour holds water.
