Good news for all fans of compact smartphones - the iPhone SE 2 can still see the light. This is sure Barclays analyst Blaine Curtis. According to him, such information came directly from several proven sources, including key Apple vendors. True, there is one thing - the novelty will be presented in the case of iPhone 8, which may be some disappointment for fans of classical design.

According to the analyst, the successor to the iPhone SE is still in development, so waiting for a smartphone this year is not worth it. The expert believes that the novelty will be presented to the public in March 2020, at the spring presentation of the company.

It is assumed that the iPhone SE 2 will receive the actual features: Apple A12 or even Apple A13 processor, 3 GB of RAM, as well as Liquid Retina LCD, which is successfully applied to the iPhone XR and iPad Pro 11. The camera will get better - the truth , the second module (telephoto) will not be added.

Externally, the smartphone will not be different from the iPhone 8 - the Home button and Touch ID will remain in their usual places. The body of the novelty will be made of glass - accordingly, the iPhone SE will also receive support for wireless charging. For unknown reasons, Apple has decided not to use modern full-screen design with a compact format preservation.

The source is silent about the support of 3D Touch - it is possible that Apple will refuse to use this technology in the iPhone SE 2, in order to reduce the cost of production.

The updated smartphone will be cheaper than the iPhone 8, but more expensive than the iPhone SE. Analysts believe that the cost of the new device will be about 499-599 dollars for the base model with 128 GB of memory.
