According to a report, the iPhone SE 3 will include wireless charging, but not MagSafe.
A March 8 release date for the iPhone SE 3 has been suggested by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, according to the latest reports.
With the 2020 iPhone SE, which has the same CPU power as the iPhone 11 but a more affordable shell, screen, and camera array, Apple will have a new entry-level iPhone to compete with the $399 pricing of the iPhone 11.

In the same way, we anticipate the iPhone SE 3 will use the A15 Bionic technology from the iPhone 13 and deliver 5G for the first time on a budget-friendly phone for the third time in a row.
There’s one feature it won’t be taking from the newest Apple flagship, though: MagSafe wireless charging, according to a recent rumour from Macotakara. The site claims “reliable sources in China” who say that it will preserve the affordable phone’s “chassis design and will continue to support Qi wireless charging,” but “will not support MagSafe.”
As with the iPhone 12, MagSafe is no longer only a charger for MacBooks, but now a wireless charger for Apple’s cellphones. The wireless charging coil on the phone is surrounded by a system of magnets, ensuring that the charger remains fixed at the precise spot necessary to recharge the battery without any unpleasant adjustments.
Apple’s decision not to include this feature in the iPhone SE 3 isn’t all that shocking. In order to conserve money, Apple has decided to keep the relatively outdated design of the iPhone 8 from 2017. If Apple were to make the pricey choice to return to the drawing board to offer MagSafe — a feature that presumably isn’t even utilised by the majority of present iPhone users — then it definitely wouldn’t stop there.
Regardless, the iPhone SE 3 is strongly anticipated to perform exceedingly well, with J.P Morgan study forecasting the device may turn the heads of “more than a billion non-premium Android users.” There are also millions of consumers who are already on iOS but cannot justify the exorbitant cost of the iPhone 13 series as an entrance point.
