Stop. Obssesing. Over. A. Stupid. Name.
It can't bother you THIS MUCH, can it now?
I don't think Apple expects it to be a huge seller. But I'm happy to be proven wrong! I'm waiting for it. But I'm saddened that Apple is positioning the new SE as a "budget" phone. I want a hi-end iPhone, but in a smaller form factor than what they're currently offering.
Hold out until September then because iPhone 12 will be physically smaller than 6/7/8 according to rumors and hearsay, of course.
USB-C ... USB-C ... USB-C
Everyone wants it on their iPhone ... but Apple.
I am sure Apple makes a boatload off of Lightning based cables and adapters.
In addition ... Airpods ... are ... yup you guessed it ... Lightning.
A USB-C based phone, but you now have Airpods that are Lightning ... ya ... that's not going to fly. I suppose Apple could release a new USB-C based Airpod charging case ... $150 later ... that still won't fly.
(In fact ... this goes for the rest of Apple's headsets no? All are Lightning based.)
Also, next year comes ... 5G. People will grumble and groan about Lightning ... but will throw that concern to the curb just to get on 5G. Just for this fact alone, Apple has no incentive to go USB-C with phones next year.
Phones and phone based accessories - Lightning
Tablet and Laptops - USB-C

Apple will switch to USB-C for iPhone once they switch to 5G cellular. That's my insight.
Probably because they'd rather sell you a 11/Pro/Max for Christmas!
I’d say this is accurate. If Apple will make the transition to USB-C for 2020, that would be the time to do it, during the 5G merger.
Are the bugs with multitasking and saving browsers/tabs in the background all fixed?
I’ve been holding onto iOS 12 because of those bugs.
I told you. The refreshing is the main issue with iPhone. Increasing RAM will be great for performance but Apple is not realizing what is going on with their own product. 4gb of RAM is totally a joke. Oh yeah Apple doesn't even mention its RAM from their website.
I guess you are trolling NickName99 and it's not funny.

Yep.. just like how Apple debuted Lightning with iPhone 5.. the very first iPhone with LTE cellular
The iPhone Classic (SE2), will not likely have wireless charging either. That is why it is not an “8S” model. To keep the price at $399 it will likely be all aluminum more similar to the iPhone 7. The biggest selling point will be an A13 phone at $399. If it has 64GB in the base model, most who buy this phone will likely go with that. The camera will likely be the same as the iPhone XR. So one gets
A13
3GB RAM
64GB storage
Single lens (XR) camera
4.7 inch LCD Retina display
TouchID
All aluminum (no wireless charging)
Not bad for $399. Likely soon discounted to $349 by big retailers. If it does get wireless charging, that makes it even a better value.

I think it’ll just be a slab of aluminum—no display, no camera, but an Apple logo on back, of course. (Or is that the front?)
It’ll sell at US$499. (About $300 more in Canada because, well, they’re Canada and Apple can.)
They’ll market it as The Least Expensive iPhone Yet!

Those issues were fixed in the iOS 13.2.2 patch. The current release is 13.2.3. It’s been a wild ride with the iOS 13 updates! Everything seems pretty good at this point.
Do you honestly think “Apple is not realizing what is going on with their own product”? It sounds like you’re the one trolling, and it is assuredly funny. If “4gb of RAM is totally a joke” then why is it that iPhones blow away Android phones with 8GB?
Obviously (or maybe not obviously) expecting the usual upcharge for the extra ram
Partly true but then, of course, processor performance is just one spec out of many and Android leads in most of them.
No, but I also bought the Mini 5 which has basically the same design as the original Mini from 2012.
It's the wrong name for what is being rumored
Tell you what - don't worry about me and I won't worry about you
Cheers
Agreed - It's only used to drive clicks because the term "SE2" does actually drive interest from current SE users and fans.

Sorry for the unpopular opinion, but I honestly don't give a lick about USB-C on iPhones.
(I know - sorry - it just doesn't matter to me as I have Lightning stuff all over the place but literally zero USB-C in my life to this point)
It isn't though! It's a budget phone. I wouldn't be surprised if it's called just "SE" once again.
I think the vast majority of people would not welcome USB-C for the same reason. They already have the cables they use and they haven’t bought into all the latest Apple tech as someone who visits this webisite would.
They would probably think “God, another kind of cable!”
