Although we're only three weeks away from the launch of the new iPhones and half a year away from spring, they're starting to surface more and more recently information about the upcoming iPhone SE 2. In the vast majority of cases, their author is the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who is even now coming up with more details and bringing us even closer to what the second generation of Apple's affordable phone will look like.

Just as the first iPhone SE shared a chassis with the iPhone 5s, its second generation will also be based on an older model, namely the iPhone 8, from which it will inherit some specifications in addition to the design. However, the iPhone SE 2 will get the most essential component from the new iPhone 11 – Apple's latest A13 Bionic processor. The operating memory (RAM) should have a capacity of 3 GB, i.e. one gigabyte less compared to the flagship models.

In addition to the aforementioned, one of the main differences compared to the iPhone 8 will also be the absence of 3D Touch technology. Even the new iPhone 11 does not have it anymore, so it is practically not surprising that the iPhone SE 2 will not offer it either. In addition, Apple will thus be able to reduce the production price of the phone even more.

Ming-Chi Kuo confirms again that the second generation iPhone SE will debut in the spring. It should come in three colors – silver, space gray and red – and in 64GB and 128GB capacity variants. It should start at $399, the same as the original iPhone SE (16GB) at the time of its launch. On our market, the phone was available for CZK 12, so its successor should be available for a similar price.

The iPhone SE 2 is mainly aimed at owners of the iPhone 6, which did not receive iOS 13 support this year. Apple will thus offer users the same size phone with the latest processor, but at an affordable price.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple has already ordered the production of 2-4 million iPhone SE 2 from suppliers per month, while the analyst believes that around 2020 million units will be sold during 30. Thanks to the affordable phone, the Cupertino company should increase iPhone sales and once again become the second largest smartphone manufacturer.
