Even if you could get all this, the small size and additional internals to bring the phone up to 2019/2020 hardware specs would likely mean a small battery.

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

they can easily hold for another year. I'm still on iPhone 6. And SE has better internals so they will be fine.
No there isn't. Just a bunch of pompous individuals who know nothing about markets, pretending too. Carry on.

That is some serious delusion. People bought it for the same reason it existed.
I heard some people turned iPad mini into Car infotainment systems. Like...8 of them. Is that why the iPad mini existed?
At the time the SE was introduced it was just that. It was basically an iPhone 6 (S actually I think) in the iPhone 5 chassis introduced only a few months after the 6S.
I'm a-Freida that's not going to go away. The promise of 5G is too great. It's not just about speed, it's also the convenience and accessibility of a mobile – as in movable, portable – untethered hotspot, too!
Unless. In iOS 13 they drop all pressure sensitive UI, thus 3D Touch is useless.
Wow, dude. R.E.L.A.X.
We get it -- you do not like small, you like it large. Size matters to you./s
I don't see where the issue is? Full screen Touch ID technology was not ready for the iPhone X, so they added a new way to unlock the phone. Now that they feel it's ready to be integrated into iPhone, why not bring it back if it's more secure? After all, people have not stopped complaining about Touch ID > Face ID.
This also brings them one step closer at a real bezel-less screen.
Even notice how the next "big" design changes is always two years away? "Two years" comes and goes and the phones ultimately look the same.
And a very good question. As the competition moves to true full-screen devices, the notch is becoming a problem for Apple. Unless they can somehow stuff all that Face ID tech behind the screen, I could see them returning to Touch ID.
I know, I love it, and use it every day. It will be annoying.
I think this is exactly why the SE existed, although it might have looked like a budget model by the end of its lifecycle. But if it were only for a cheap phone, Apple simply would have continued to sell the 5s (maybe lower its price). Instead they killed it in favour of putting most of the current generation’s tech in the old 4” body.
I beg to differ.
Ever heard of the term latency?
Even the Apple Bluetooth headphones still has that annoying latency during games.
(nice one) ;-)
Yeah, I know. Thats the sad part. And 20 years down the line we will look back and point that this was the breaking point. Our bodies will most likely mutate over the years but there will be price to this. Thats the sad reality
People are missing the most basic logic here.
TouchID and FaceID both have their advantages, but FaceID is better overall. It's not better in EVERY single use case, but neither was TouchID.
The solution to any minor issues people might have with FaceID isn't to go back to a previous technology (like TouchID that still has its own problems). The correct solution it to improve the superior technology (FaceID).
It's substantially more likely Apple will refine FaceID (make it work in landscape on iPhones and improve its response time) than it is to see them go backwards to an older technology.
