Apple's 2018 iPhone Lineup May Include Second-Generation iPhone SE

It was released half a year after the 6S, so it was behind half a generation.
nope because CDs then USB sticks and blu rays then HD streaming are inherently superior technologies.
FaceID on the other hand... is a sidestep.
If it has a 4" screen and a headphone jack, I'm buying regardless of everything else. These big screens are so hard to hold that people are attaching little posts to the back now. Edit: Also want gen2 TouchID at least; forgot it had the sucky gen1.

Update internals, and rear camera, keep headphone jack and size. Would like force touch and the rear camera from the 8+/X in the manageable size of the SE. That will be all, thank you.
Off topic, but streaming is not better than blu-ray by any stretch. It's more convenient, sure, but the quality is a compromise.
Agreed about FaceID though. It just seems kludgy and inconvenient and I'm thankful that as a "budget" device the new SE most likely would not feature the expenseive and hard to produce sensor package that makes FaceID work.
Yeah, you know, let's also replace all iPhones with Android phones because they came later and are therefore better.
I recently sold my iPhone 6s Plus for a SE. I found that the size of the Plus model was not very easy to use one handed. In addition to the size, the rounded edges made the phone hard to hold, and would "pop" out of my hands.
Since the "downgrade", I have been much happier with my iOhone experience. The biggest downfall of the SE for me, is the noticeable slower first generation Touch ID.
Assuming that a new SE would have at least the second gen of Touch ID, that would probably be my next iPhone.

I love the word "May".
The next SE **MAY** be 1 inch thick with a battery that lasts a month, have a built in 4k projector and allow you to communicate with your dead ancestors.
This article is clickbait at its finest.

Lmao - I know right?
I see people at coffee shops with little tripods on their iPhones because they are so large...
Cracks me up
iPhone SE is literally the only iPhone I'm interested with. Had the 6 Plus, just too big. Ditched that for the SE.
Keep the 3.5 mm jack, same chassis, better cameras and faster touch ID

Something cannot always be a generation behind if its the only version ever released. And when it was released it was the same generation.
I love my SE. It is the perfect size for me. It has all the features I need. I’d like 3D Touch, but I don’t need it. I prefer a phone that fits easily in my pocket. I personally don’t want a larger screen. What I’d like is a longer lasting battery (not that the current battery is bad but more here is better), faster chips, and better cameras (again, not that the current ones are bad).
The larger phones sell well, so I know I must be in a minority. But there has to be a sizable minority that simply doesn’t want a larger phone. I want to stay with Apple but if they forced me to choose a larger phone I’d seriously consider another maker. Some of the Samsung phones are nice.

If the rumor is correct, the source says the $450 SE2 targets India, Indonesia, and SE Asia.
I would not expect an A11 or fancy features. To save costs, I would expect it to be a de-featured iPhone 7: TFT 4.7" display, A10, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage, no 3D Touch, no official water resistance.
Why do you seem so upset that someone would have the gall to desire a different phone than you? It has nothing to do with price.
I know some rumors pointed towards the SE using the same body as the current 4.7" phones. That is a mistake IMO. At least in the US, I think a lot of people buy the SE for the form factor.

I'd strongly dislike a 4.7" chassis. If apple does that, I think I'll finally jump to Android, yuck. The Sony Xperia Compact series are small and nice though.
There's only one SE, this isn't a recurring thing so let's not speak in absolutes as if that's what has been established.
I'm hoping for an upgrade to the 8 internals, no head phone jack (leave those 3.5's back in the past like 8 tracks), but maintain its more rugged and smaller form factor.
in the run up to the holidays this year, iPhone SE sold just 2 percentage points less than the iphone 8 according to a MR/ Flurry Analytics post so that tells us that the demand is there.
We'll see - I think Apple sort of targets (at least in their minds at one time) the current SE at that as it is.
For some reason their corporate bubble was surprised by how many of us here in the US love that size and feature set.
I love the SE form factor. Reduce the bezels and increase the screen size accordingly and I can drop my iPhone 7.
