Not One, But Apple Will Launch Two iPhone SE 2 Models This Year

According to a new report from DigiTimes, Apple may launch a second version of the iPhone SE 2 (or iPhone 9) before the end of 2020. This prediction comes from its sources in Apple's supply chain in Taiwan.

According to sources from the supply chain, Apple is likely to add another iPhone version of 2020 using an LCD screen. The new member of the iPhone family will be an upgraded version of the device called "iPhone SE 2" with an LCD screen of 5.5 or 6.1 inches and will be released by the end of 2020 or early 2021. Previously, rumor has it that the iPhone SE 2 will arrive under the name iPhone 9 instead.

Earlier, renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that Apple would launch five new iPhone models in 2020 - with a device like the iPhone SE 2 with a 4.7-inch LCD screen coming in the early half of this year - along with a slew of high-end OLED displays, including a 5.4-inch version, two models with 6.1-inch display and a 6.7-inch version in the second half of this year.

Initial predictions of a device called the iPhone SE 2 show that it is a re-assembled iPhone 8, with a 4.7-inch LCD screen, a Home button and Touch ID. However, this device is equipped with a faster Apple A13 chip and 3GB of RAM.

According to Kuo, the device will continue to have a single rear camera - just like the original iPhone SE and iPhone 8. Similar to the DigiTimes prediction, Kuo also believes that a device named iPhone SE 2 Plus is in the works, but he predicted that it would not make its debut until 2021.
