The long-awaited sequel to the iPhone SE may finally be happening. According to top analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will release a new version of the smallish handset early next year (Q1 2020). Fans who adore the original design may be disappointed, however: the iPhone SE2 will reportedly adopt the body of the iPhone 8.
The good news is that it’ll be just as powerful as the iPhone 11. Kuo claims it’ll have the same A13 processor and 3GB of LPDDR4X memory, which is more than adequate for modern content and services. The SE2 is also expected to feature a home button instead of Face ID.
“Though most of iPhone SE2′s hardware spec will be similar to iPhone 8′s, we think the excellent computing power offered by A13 and 3GB LPDDR4X, and the more affordable price will be great selling points. Therefore, we estimate iPhone SE2 shipments in 2020 will reach 30–40mn units.”
