Apple iPhone SE2 to launch in Q1 next year: Report

Popular Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has predicted that successor to the affordable iPhone SE – the iPhone SE2 will be launched in the first quarter of next year. The smartphone is expected to have an iPhone 8 inspired design with a 4.7-inch LCD.

Apple will use its most advanced chipset the A13 chipset to power the iPhone SE2. According to Kuo, Apple might sell 30-40 million units of the iPhone SE2. It’s not yet clear whether the phone will have a Touch ID sensor or a Face ID. For the uninitiated, Apple first launched the affordable iPhone SE in 2016 that came with an iPhone 5s chassis and iPhone 6s internals.

In September, Apple launched the new generation of iPhones that includes a 6.4-inch iPhone 11, a 5.8-inch iPhone 11 and a 6.1-inch iPhone. Expect a triple camera system on the larger model. The 5.8-inch Apple iPhone 11 will stick to the dual-camera system. The Apple iPhone 11 is also expected to come with wireless charging technology to wirelessly charge Apple Watch or AirPods. There will be a 12MP front camera instead of a 7MP sensor and it will sport a new 5P lens rather than a 4P lens. The new 12MP front camera will be included on all three new 2019 iPhones.

The iPhone 11 Pro sports an IP68 rating and comes with a 5.8-inch HDR-enabled OLED display. The new Super Retina XDR display, a custom-designed OLED, provides users an immersive HDR viewing experience for movies and another high-definition video with up to 1,200 nits brightness.

The iPhone 11 Pro is powered by the A13 Bionic, the fastest chip ever in an iPhone. The A13 Bionic is 20 percent faster CPU and GPU than A12. The A13 Bionic is built for machine learning, with a faster Neural Engine for real-time photo and video analysis, and new Machine Learning Accelerators that allow the CPU to deliver more than 1 trillion operations per second. Together, A13 Bionic and iOS 13 make up the best machine learning platform on a smartphone.
