INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Update:A new image leak adds evidence to the theory that the iPhone SE 2 will have a notch, but suggests it might not have a Face ID camera
Plus, a report suggests we might not see the iPhone SE 2 until September and that its screen could be anywhere from 4 to 6 inches in size,
as Apple is apparently yet to decide on a final design.Apple may soon launch the fabled iPhone SE 2, the overdue sequel to its wallet- and
one-hand-friendly smartphone.That's great news for anyone looking to upgrade their iPhone without spending a fortune on something like the

This could be Apple's 'fun' phone with bold iPod touch-like stylings, though there's a chance it could come with a notch, just like Apple's
flagship.Most of all, it could provide a smaller-screen experience, easy to hold in one hand, yet fully capable of running iOS 11 and
providing a specs upgrade over the original iPhone SE.Here's everything we know about Apple's rumored iPhone SE 2.The iPhone SE launched in

Commission database.Apple's Eurasian filings have outed important products before, including the AirPods, and it usually foreshadows new
gadgets one to two months ahead of time.This backs up two separate rumors pointing to an announcement sometime in 2018, with one adding that
the iPhone SE 2 is likely to enter mass production in the first quarter of 2018.Analyst Karl Ackerman has also claimed that the iPhone SE 2
could arrive in May/June, which chimes with other rumors suggesting a middle of the year launch, although no guarantee was made."We think
September, and that as of mid-May the company hasn't even finalized the design, with both a 4.0-inch and a 6.0-inch model apparently under
consideration.Not only that, but prominent industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo doesn't believe Apple has the capacity to make an iPhone SE 2 this
year.He said, "with three new models in the pipeline for the second half of 2018, we believe Apple may have used up its development
resources."With WWDC now so close and there being so little news of the iPhone SE 2 we're not convinced it will launch there, but we
AU$590)A price hike over predecessor is likelyIn terms of pricing, the iPhone SE 2 will likely remain Apple's most affordable iPhone - if it
discontinued and the price dropped due to its aging innards.We'd expect the iPhone SE 2 to cost at least as much, and a price rise is
likely, but it should still be cheap relative to the rest of Apple's range.The iPhone SE 2 could boast a brand new lookiPhone SE 2

That is, at least, if you believe the rumors currently circulating about the handset.A video posted on social networking site Weibo, and
spotted by Macotakara, appears to show a radically redesigned handset to the square block we've been used to from Apple's compact mobile
line.It includes almost all display on the front of the SE 2, with a notch at the top like the iPhone X, affirmed recently by case maker
Olixar, while round the back we could be treated to dual rear cameras - although when you consider even the iPhone 8 doesn't have a dual
camera it seems unlikely Apple would put it on a smaller, cheaper model.Take a look at the leaked video below and make up your own mind on
whether it's legit or not
Looking closely at the video, it doesn't quite feel right, as the device doesn't appear to have the Apple finesse we're used to seeing.While
the video doesn't fill us with confidence, further fuel has been added to this redesign fire thanks to a set of sketches that were sent to
BGR by a previously reliable source.The sketches show the original SE on the left and the iPhone SE 2 on the right, and appear to confirm
the iPhone X-style notch at the top of the screen, the removal of the iconic home button and a lack of a headphone port
The lack of a headphone port is something we've heard multiple times now.It appears the iPhone SE 2 could well retain the flat sides and
general dimensions of the SE, rather than following the shapely curves of the iPhone 8 and X.While it's certainly nice to see the sketches
marry up with the video above, they could all still be fake, so take what you see here with a fair pinch of salt.Image 1 of 2No home button
for the iPhone SE 2 also leaking out and shared by leaker Sonny Dickson.You can see it below, next to one for the iPhone X, and you'll note
that the notch on the iPhone SE 2's seems smaller, which could perhaps be a sign that the phone won't inherit the iPhone X's TrueDepth
camera and therefore won't need as much space in the notch.A screen protector apparently for the iPhone SE 2 (left) and iPhone X (right)

the headphone port intact.This looks a lot like the original iPhone SE
wireless charging, so with two distinct designs doing the rounds we're not sure what's accurate at this point.Other iPhone SE 2 rumors, news
and leaksIn other news, we've heard that the iPhone SE 2 could have a quad-core A10 chipset, 2GB of RAM, a 12MP rear camera, a 5MP
front-facing one, a 4-inch screen and that it could come in 32GB and 128GB sizes.That would be an upgrade in some areas from the iPhone SE,
but not much of one, putting it roughly in line with the iPhone 7, albeit with a smaller screen.Face ID is also a possible feature, powered
by a TrueDepth camera like the one on the iPhone X
with a wish list, filled with features that we want to see in the new iPhone SE 2
first: the iPhone SE has a headphone jack and we'd very much like it if Apple kept things in place for the iPhone SE 2.If Apple doesn't mess
with the design of the next iteration, there's little reason to see it removed
However, rumors point to a new look, so fingers are crossed that the 3.5mm headphone jack doesn't get left on the cutting room floor.A
better batteryFrom a value perspective, the iPhone SE is high on the charts if you're looking for a phone that will last you through the day

iPhone 6.Its prowess at saving power makes sense
chassis used with its core iPhone products.While we're short on complaints about the SE's battery performance, it can only get better, right
We'd like to see Apple pushing some boundaries with its next phone with numbers that take it even higher.Improved performanceOne of the more
impressive things about the SE is that it fits in a similar set of specs found in the iPhone 6S
A punchy palm-sized smartphone that could handle everything that its fancier iPhone brethren could for a more digestible price.That's 2016
power though, and in 2018 we're hoping Apple gives the iPhone SE 2 the latest chipset and a bump in RAM.A refreshed designThere's no arguing
that reviving the iPhone 5 design for use with the iPhone SE was a good idea
After all, it's a winning design, first debuted on the iPhone 4, that set Apple far ahead of its competition in terms of build
quality.However, there comes a time when even the best design ideas need to be left to the side
sticking to the ergonomic four-inch size that SE fans are accustomed to.de80630130daa597348d00f55120d32a.jpg#
