Its been more than 3 years since Apple surprised the market with a relatively affordable iPhone SE (Special Edition). It was lauded by the critics and commoners alike. It came in an iPhone 5S-ish chassis with the soul of the iPhone 6S. The highlight was its compact form factor. But once it did its shelf life, we were anticipating a successor. Well, now there seems to be a stir in the rumor mill. Apple could make a splash with the iPhone SE 2 in quarter 1 of next year.

The predictions also list 3 color variants viz Space Gray, Silver, and Red. It is speculated to sport the iPhone 8-like body. Since 3D touch has gone for good with the iPhone 11 lineup, don’t expect the same to surface in the SE 2 either. Enter Haptic Touch!

Moving beyond the specs, he foresees the iPhone SE 2 to become a “Key Growth Driver” for Apple in 2020. New users might board the iOS ecosystem to exploit the price difference compared to the iPhone 11 range. He forecasts around 30 million units will be sold in the entirety of 2020 to match this demand.

Kuo foresees the SE 2 arrive at a price of $399 in the Quarter 1 of 2020.
