Japanese technology website Mac Otakara reported that the new iPhone SE 2 may be launched in May, according to a shell manufacturer message.
In terms of size and function, the report quoted speculation that the iPhone SE 2's body size may be equivalent to that of the existing iPhone SE. The new iPhone SE 2 will also have Touch ID fingerprint recognition. However, the 3.5mm headphone jack may be cancelled.
In addition, the new iPhone SE 2 will also have the Apple Pay payment function, and will also include the Apple A10 Fusion processing chip and the Near Field Communication (NFC) chip.
Analysis of foreign technology site Mac Rumors, which represents the performance of the new iPhone SE 2 processor chip, will be 40% higher than the existing iPhone SE. The current iPhone SE uses Apple's A9 processor.
Mac Otakara and quoted speculation that the new iPhone SE 2 may be designed with a glass case and support for wireless charging, but this hypothesis has not been confirmed.
Tekz24.com, a foreign technology website, previously quoted sources as reporting that the iPhone SE 2 will have a glass back cover design and may also support wireless charging functions like the iPhone 8 and iPhone X series.
The market has different views on whether Apple will launch the new iPhone SE 2. KGI’s analyst Guo Mingxi previously reported that he has a conservative view of the market’s potential for iPhone SE 2.
According to the report, considering that there are 3 new models in the second half of this year, which consumes a large amount of development resources and does not allow iPhone X to postpone shipments, Apple may have no time to issue another new iPhone SE in the second quarter.
