2020 iPhones May Have Full-Screen Touch ID, New iPhone SE Based on iPhone 8 Also Possible Next Year

A year from now, give or take, is too long to wait for an SE2. I have two immediate family members with SE's that need new phones and will not go bigger than the SE form factor. I guess I better find some good quality used SE's.
I'd be happy with Touch ID returning... Face ID has been a disappointment and forces me to adapt to the phone too many times. Having to angle the phone or myself to look at it the right way to unlock it.
Full screen TouchID is dead.

Absolutely. It makes no sense, for a variety of reasons.

Why not. I'd buy one in an instant.

Would't Touch ID + Face ID be the best combo?
I'd be happy. Face ID has plenty of situations where it isn't as good as Touch ID.
There’s still some brand new 32GB iPhone SEs available through Apple.

32gb?
One SE is a 64gb, one is a 128gb, both phones are using about 75%. I could keep an eye out for refurbs with larger capacities though.
I think i misread the article. it's iPhone 8 internals, not the same size necessarily.
I have the XR and Face ID sucks. It's annoying (and less safe) to have to hold your phone out in front of you when jogging or driving (i.e. to switch "Radio" channels). Both of my kids have the iPhone 6 and don't want to upgrade because of Face ID.
The jack was not removed because it was "old and antiquated." It was removed because wireless connection is better than wired, a jack takes up space in the device that can be used for other things, and most people prefer not having wires connected between their ears and a device.
Wireless communication has been around since the late 1800s so it's just as "old."
Why on Earth would Apple re-introduce TouchID on new models? FaceID is so superior in my experience, which is saying something because TouchID was very good.
One thought though- perhaps having two separate biometric security measures would allow for double security options, where a user might want the extreme measure of using both to unlock the most sensitive data?

Barclays analyst Blayne Curtis and his associates today shared their expectations for both 2019 and 2020 model iPhones following their trip to Asia earlier this month, where they met with some suppliers within Apple's supply chain.
MacRumors render of 2019 iPhones with triple-lens rear cameras
Our summary of the research note, shared with MacRumors:The trio of high-end 2019 iPhones will have relatively few design changes, beyond additional rear camera lenses, with production set to ramp up in the typical July-August timeframe
3D Touch will be eliminated in all 2019 iPhones as Barclays previously predicted, possibly signaling a Haptic Touch expansion
The next-generation iPhone XR will have 4GB of RAM, up from 3GB, as previously predicted by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo
2020 iPhones will have more significant changes, including 5G support, 3D sensing via the rear camera system, and acoustic fingerprint technology that could allow for full-screen Touch ID
"A few suppliers" mentioned a potential "iPhone SE 2" with iPhone 8 internals in early 2020, but others had no knowledge of it
LG may become a secondary supplier of OLED displays for 2019 iPhones, with a 10-30 percent split of orders with Samsung, ahead of Apple transitioning all of its iPhones to OLED as early as 2020Other rumors have suggested that 2019 iPhones will feature frosted glass casing, larger batteries, and a bilateral charging feature that allows users to charge AirPods or an Apple Watch by placing them on the back of the iPhone.
Apple will likely unveil its latest iPhones in September as usual at Steve Jobs Theater.

Yeah, now you know why there are any new SEs left at all on Apple’s website. Rose Gold and Gold 32GB evidently don’t excite even fans of the SE anymore.
You unfortunately missed the original clearance sales of the factory sealed 128GB models for $299.

This is exactly it.
Small shouldn't equate with cheap garbage.
I want a small SE sized high end phone. Mostly the screen with no bezels and with Face ID. Thats the whole benefit. You can get the screen of an iPhone 8 on a device the size of an iPhone SE IF you do the iPhone X style screen without a home button.
Would be nice but not essential to have good camera too so its not a step down.
This is the phone I'm waiting for. I either refuse to buy a new phone or will buy used if I have to replace until Apple comes out with a more manageable size.
There are many people that don't care about price, they simply want a smaller phone with the modern tech and small bezel screens.
Clear to who? And analysts said the 2018 iPhones were going to lose 3D Touch. They were wrong. Now they’re going to keep their prediction but change the year?
