iPhone SE 2 - will it come out or not?

Let's start with the main question that interests most fans of the 4-inch form factor. Is Apple really developing the iPhone SE 2 and preparing to release it?

In 2018, it became known that Apple has iPhone launch SE 2. The company has registered new iPhone models in the database of the Eurasian Economic Commission. Apple is required to register all its devices in this database, which is why in previous years the whole world learned about the release of AirPods, iPhone 7, MacBook and iPad 2018 more than a month before the presentation.

It is expected that Apple will release the iPhone SE 2 not on its standard schedule. The original model was presented in March 2016, and all other iPhones recent years presented to the world in September. The latest smartphone Apple, whose presentation took place in June, had the iPhone 4 back in 2010. Below is full table dates of presentation and start of sales of all Apple smartphones.

In this regard, it is most likely that if Apple releases the iPhone SE 2, the smartphone will be presented in March. In 2019, Apple has just planned.

Hint about the release of iPhone SE 2 from Apple

Early 2019 Apple of the Year herself on possible way out iPhone SE 2 in the future. The company suddenly relaunched iPhone sales SE in the USA - the original 4-inch smartphone has not been sold there for a long time. The iPhone SE stocks put up for sale were instantly sold out - less than three hours later.

Analysts believed that in this way Apple was probably testing the current demand for the compact iPhone SE. The company definitely knows that in developing iPhone countries The SE is extremely popular, but there may have been questions about demand for the model in the US. Such “testing,” carried out in January 2019, helped Apple understand that the iPhone SE 2 was also expected in the United States.

Design

There are three main assumptions about the design of the iPhone SE 2. According to the first, the iPhone SE 2 is expected to be a copy of the iPhone 7, of course, except for the size, just like the iPhone SE is externally indistinguishable from the iPhone 5s. Some experts have suggested that Apple intends to continue to release new 4-inch smartphones in the future, based on the latest flagship models.

According to the second, the iPhone SE will be simpler and will external copy iPhone 6. However, given that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 7 generally have a similar design, these versions do not differ very much.

The third assumption is considered the most likely. iPhone SE 2 may be an improved version of the original iPhone SE technically. This means that the smartphone will have the same design, but improved characteristics. Most analysts are inclined towards this version, since, according to them, Apple does not have the time and resources to release a fully updated compact iPhone.

It is important to note that regarding appearance There were no credible iPhone SE leaks coming from reputable insiders and analysts. This could be due either to the fact that the iPhone SE 2 is in Apple's long-term plans, or to the fact that the company is keeping the development of the smartphone a closely guarded secret.

Display

Focus Taiwan resource sources said that the smartphone display will have a diagonal of 4-4.2 inches. Thus, the iPhone SE 2 display may be larger than the original model. However, the smartphone will remain compact. Afterwards, other sources confirmed that the iPhone SE 2 will retain its main feature- compact size.

Characteristics

The original iPhone SE turned out to be an almost complete copy of the iPhone 6s in terms of technical characteristics. The only differences were that the iPhone SE lacked an improved front camera and 3D Touch pressure tracking technology on the display.

It is assumed that the iPhone SE 2 will take as a basis the “filling” of the next newest Apple smartphone -. As a result of this, the iPhone SE 2 will receive a system based on a 64-bit quad-core A10 Fusion processor and 2 GB random access memory. Due to such powerful hardware, iPhone SE 2 will become the most productive compact smartphone in the world, taking this title from its predecessor.

The same information was provided in April by the Japanese blog Macotakara. They also noted that the iPhone SE 2 will not have a 3.5mm audio output. Apple for the first time abandoned the previously traditional audio jack in the iPhone 7, so this change seems quite logical. However, other insiders left this message without comment.

3D Touch

One of the main new iPhone functions SE 2 should have the smartphone support for technology for tracking pressure on the 3D Touch display. The iPhone SE, despite its technical similarity to the iPhone 6s, did not have 3D Touch. It is assumed that Apple decided to abandon the use of technology in order to reduce the price of the smartphone, as well as to profitably highlight iPhone background SE its new and more expensive flagship iPhone 6s.

Battery

According to an August leak from Focus Taiwan, the capacity iPhone battery SE 2 will be 1700 mAh. For comparison, original iPhone The SE is equipped with a 1624 mAh battery. In other words, a large increase in battery life iPhone work The second generation SE is not worth waiting for.

iPhone SE 2 price

If the rumors remain just rumors, choose any other model.

The choice between iPhone SE and iPhone SE 2 is a little more complicated. Previous tip the need to wait remains in force, but one more is added to it.

In our Rumors article, we collect and analyze rumors, clues and evidence pointing to the release date, as well as specifications iPhone, design, new features and prices - so you've come to the right place!

iPhone SE 2 release date

Original iPhone SE was announced in March 2016, but it did not receive a significant update in 2017. (He just got disk space 32 and 128 GB.) A FocusTaiwan report in August said that the new iPhone SE will appear in the first quarter of 2018. Sources claim that this new iPhone will be launched in India by Wistron, which assembles the current iPhone SE. The prediction was backed up by a report from Taiwanese marketing firm TrendForce, which also believes it will arrive in 2018 (though the firm is less confident, citing only the first half) and will be assembled by Wistron in India.

iPhone SE 2 price

IPhone SE currently available in 32GB and 128GB versions. IN THE USA iPhone SE costs $399 for 32GB and $449 for 129GB. The iPhone SE 2 is expected to cost the same, but the amount of internal memory is unknown.

iPhone SE 2 design

While iPhone SE look like iPhone 5S, is expected to be more similar to the iPhone 8, although it is expected to be smaller in size. One thing that may change is the color options. Currently iPhone time The SE is available in Silver, Gold, Space Gray and Rose Gold. , will likely be available in Silver, Gold and Space Gray - like the iPhone 8.

It may also have glass back panel, allowing for wireless charging, a function represented with iPhone 8 and iPhone X. This could mean that the new one will be more like iPhone 4. There are theories about what a frameless design could have, like iPhone X; many publications and analysts refer to him as iPhone X SE. However, while this is something that may come in the future, we think it will be some time before the design without Home buttons will reach iPhone first generations. That hasn't stopped one illustrator from imagining what it might look like. In the YouTube video below you can see what it would look like iPhone SE2 if Apple were to remake iPhone X-like. Here's an idea of ​​what we can expect from Concept Creator.

iPhone SE 2 Dimensions

Currently iPhone SE has a 4-inch screen (that's 4 inches measured diagonally). The handset itself measures 123.8mm by 58.6mm and is 7.6mm thick. It weighs 113 g. New iPhone sizes SE may decrease. For example, the phone could be as thin as the iPhone 8 at 7.3mm. If Apple decided to ditch the iPhone 5s design for the iPhone SE in favor of emulating the iPhone 8 design, it might be feasible. It is also possible that new iPhone SE- or iPhone entry level- will not be a smaller phone at all. According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is working on a low-cost iPhone version, which will have an LCD screen and will cost between $649 and $749. The iPhone screen will be 6.1 inches diagonal, so new phone maybe even bigger than the iPhone 8.

New opportunities

The new iPhone SE won't be a flagship, so you shouldn't expect any brand new features - it's more a question of what features will trickle down from the top iPhone X and 8 Plus.

If we look at iPhone SE with Face ID, this would mean we also get an edge-to-edge screen and a Home button. Ming-Chi Kuo " iPhone X SE"will really get Face ID, the same controversial but impressive biometric technology found on the iPhone X, which also means Animoji and we assume portrait mode on the front side. (Oddly enough, since the analyst predicts a single camera lens on the back X SE To keep costs down, we might end up in a situation where portrait mode is available in the foreground but not in the background.)

Wireless charger

New iPhone SE 2 may get wireless charging thanks to the glass in the body design. Tekz24 claims that it has received information from a "very reliable source" that the new iPhone SE 2 "will have a glass back" and that it "may support wireless charging."

3D Touch

Technology Apple's 3D touch screen for a long time now, and it’s logical to add it to S.E.. But sources say that won't happen. As Tech Times notes, this risks portraying the acclaimed feature "as nothing more than a gimmick that might only appeal to customers buying more expensive iPhones."

iPhone SE 2 Specifications

According to the Tekz24 report (which featured the FocusTaiwan report mentioned above), the new one will feature a chip A10 Fusio n. Currently iPhone SE uses A9 chip, which is used in the iPhone 6S. In addition, we saw 7Mp FaceTime camera with Retina Flash, replacing the 5MP FaceTime camera on the current model. Apart from this, it will likely retain many of the features of the current iPhone SE, such as: 12MP camera: current S.E. offers 12 megapixels with aperture? / 2.2. Does iPhone 8 have an aperture? / 1.8. Hope, new camera iPhone SE on the back iPhone panels will also be flat. 2GB RAM: The iPhone SE already offers 2GB RAM, and it's unlikely we'll see anything more. 32 GB or 128 GB. The battery will also have a slightly increased rating from 1640 mAh to 1700 mAh.

Join us on

Recently, Apple has begun to “revive” old but successful projects. So, for example, with security, the appearance is very the popular iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S unchanged, the developers filled it with the functions of the iPhone 6S, in the end we got a device that became a real hit - iPhone SE.

iPhone SE 2 was originally expected to release in March 2017, since the original iPhone SE was released in March 2016, and Apple company, is known to update its product lines once a year.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes iPhone SE 2 won't appear at all in 2017, due to the fact that Apple will not want to jeopardize sales of higher-rated iPhones. The fact is that the SE 2 model will be an alternative at a lower price.

At the same time, according to fresh data from the French publication iGeneration, in August we can expect the announcement of the second iPhone generation SE. The publication does not indicate the sources of the information, but assures us that it is reliable.

The question is what will it look like? Will it look the same, perform the same functions and sell for the same price? Judging by latest rumors, we have collected for you all the known this moment facts about the “brother” iPhone SE.

It is believed that Apple will keep the same design that is so beloved by many. The new models will likely go on sale for between $399 and $499.

But on the other hand, a report was published saying that the iPhone SE 2 will look completely different from its predecessor. A leaked photo shows that the updated model has an all-glass back, reminiscent of the Black Jet color of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. It is quite possible that this times Apple will try to connect his budget model with larger iPhone models.

What do we want to see in i Phone SE 2?

First of all, users would you mind if The iPhone SE 2 had the same 3.5mm headphone jack as the iPhone SE.

Improved battery

Due to small iPhone screen S.E. consumes significantly less battery power than, for example, iPhone 7 and iPhone 6. And due to square case, Apple developers do not need to make the battery as thin as possible. Though iPhone users SE and don't complain about battery performance, anyway no one will mind the changes made to future smartphone improvements.

Improved performance

One of the most impressive things about the SE was that it matched a similar feature set to the iPhone 6S. A handy little smartphone that can do the same things as its iPhone brothers, which sell for a higher price. Considering Apple's practice in installing modern chipsets, we hope that the A10 fusion chip with iPhone 7 will be in new version SE.
