Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is gearing up production of its oft-speculated iPhone SE with 5G, with the product likely unveiled in April or May, according to a new report.
According to 9to5Mac, citing information from Display Supply Chain Consultants analyst Ross Young, the Cupertino, California-based Apple is slated to start panel production this month, with phone production starting in March.

Apple (AAPL) shares are fractionally lower in early Wednesday trading, at $169.72.
Aesthetically, the new iPhone SE with 5G is expected to look very similar to the current model, sporting a 4.7-inch display, Home button and Touch ID.
In addition to the iPhone SE with 5G, it's likely that Apple will also unveil a new iPad Air at the event and perhaps some new services, as it has done at past events held in the Spring.
On Tuesday, Apple (AAPL) lobbyist Timothy Powderly warned that bills floating around the Senate would hurt the company's privacy protection tool that it rolled out last year and may aid âthose who have been irresponsible with usersâ data.â
