If the reports are accurate, Apple might be ready to bring 5G to the iPhone SE. Bloomberg claims the company plans to hold a March 8 spring event to launch the more affordable iPhone SE with 5G support alongside a refreshed iPad Air with a new CPU and 5G support for the cellular-equipped option. We can supposedly expect a faster chip, improved cameras, and a look similar to the 2020 iPhone SE. If that gets the A15 processor and 5G, it could be a great value iPhone to have. It isn't clear what will happen to Touch ID, but there probably won't be any changes on that front without any design updates.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports we should get a new version of iOS with mask-friendly facial recognition support this March on iPhones and iPads that use Face ID. The update could also add new emojis and the highly anticipated Universal Control feature that connects a single keyboard and mouse setup across different Macs and iPads.
