We previously heard that the new iPhone SE 2 would be coming in the first quarter of 2019, we also heard that production of the handset will start in January.
Now it looks like we have some details on the launch date of the new iPhone SE 2, the handset will apparently go on sale at the end of March 2020.
The news comes from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who has a proven track record with Apple releases, so we suspect that this date is correct.
Design and Specifications
The new iPhone SE 2 is rumored to come with a similar design to Apple’s iPhone 8, although it will get a number of upgrades internally which will include the new Apple A13 Bionic processor and also 3GB of RAM. This processor is the same one used in the iPhone 11 series, ensuring that the SE 2 will have robust performance capabilities despite being a budget-friendly option.
It is not clear as yet on what cameras the handset will come with and what other upgrades the device will get. However, it is expected that the camera system will be an improvement over the original iPhone SE, possibly featuring a single-lens rear camera similar to the iPhone XR. This would make it a compelling option for those looking for a capable camera without the high price tag of Apple’s flagship models.
Market Position and Pricing
This will be Apple’s most affordable iPhone in its range and the handset is expected to retail for $399 when it launches next year. The original iPhone SE was popular due to its compact size and lower price point, and it appears Apple is aiming to capture that market segment once again. The SE 2 is expected to appeal to users who prefer a smaller phone or are looking for a more budget-friendly entry into the Apple ecosystem.
In addition to the competitive pricing, the iPhone SE 2 is likely to attract customers who are still using older iPhone models and are looking for an upgrade without breaking the bank. The inclusion of the A13 Bionic processor means that users will not have to compromise on performance, making it a very attractive option.
Moreover, the iPhone SE 2 is expected to support iOS updates for several years, ensuring that users will have access to the latest features and security updates from Apple. This long-term software support is one of the key advantages of choosing an iPhone over other budget smartphones.
