Best Buy Lists 'iPhone SE Plus' Screen Protector With iPhone 8 Plus Dimensions

[MacRumors]

As spotted by an eagle-eyed Reddit user, Best Buy has listed a screen protector for an unreleased "iPhone SE Plus 2020" on its website. The screen protector is also listed as compatible with the iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPhone 8 Plus.

The screen protector comes from the Insignia brand, which is owned by Best Buy itself. While there actually have been rumors of an iPhone SE Plus launching in the second half of 2021, it is unlikely that Best Buy would be privy to any information about this new device, especially this far in advance. The listing could be an SEO attempt or simply a mistake.

Reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has previously said that the iPhone SE Plus will feature Touch ID built into the side power button, as is rumored for the redesigned iPad Air expected today. He also claimed that the device will feature a 5.5-inch or 6.1-inch display with an edge-to-edge design like the iPhone 11 Pro, with a smaller notch due to the lack of Face ID.

Multiple reports have indicated that today's Apple event will not involve new iPhones, with the focus to be on new Apple Watch and iPad models. MacRumors will have live coverage of the event beginning at 10 a.m. Pacific Time.

I thought we weren't seeing iPhones?

If we are introducing a new SE Plus, aren't we just diluting the product space?

After 10AM PST time, it might be clear that moving Touch ID on the side(power button) of iPad Air 4 will inspire Apple to do the same for the next iPhone SE phones. That can easily increase screen area without increasing frame size. Cool !

I’d be happy with any sort of iPhone announcement!

Never seen a product post pulled so fast haha

5 iPhones, isn’t that too much?

 

[katbel]

I just Bought my sister an iPhone SE2, darn!

The asymmetrical cutout for the notch doesn’t look legit

Please announce the new iPhones already. We are tired of waiting.

I love my 8 plus that I bought used. I'm not planning to upgrade, but would consider an updated similar device if it brought the camera up to par with the 11 series by including night mode. Current SE has neither night mode, nor enough battery life (nor is it the nice compact size that made the original SE compelling).

It looks so fake!

 

[supertiffany]

they should release the iPhone SE Plus, everyone is wearing mask and touchID is more useful especially at work.

some of the 7 plus or 8 plus screen protector have a cutout notch leaving the camera and microphone open

I’m having a hard time trying to figure out the Target group of an iPhone SE Plus. It would probably be $499, and at that point I’d say just buy a iPhone XR for $100 more (the iPhone 11 will probably replace that price point in a month too). More compact and bigger screen.

It's not for a 'notch' if this is an iPhone 8 Plus style device. The camera is to the left of the top earpiece, which would explain the asymmetry.

Diluting product line ups is a Tim Cook classic. Under Steve Jobs, it was the best they could offer at the standard price point (well until iPhone 3GS came out and they kept the 3G for $99)

Under Tim, it goes: ok, good, better, best.
iPad, iPad mini, iPad Air, iPad Pro.

So it is real
The new ipad air will indeed have the new A14 5nm

11” ipad pro starts from 799$

so ipad air should be around 499 or max 599$

Easy... apple is thinking for those with “thin wallets”
This month they can get ipad air and apple watch, next month the iphone and in November the new mac
Apple is so humble hah

The one Superbowl, Walmart had Patriots SB Champs shirts before the SB. I know I took a screen shot, but have to find it.

 

[decisions]

Is Apple losing Steve’s “clean product line”?

 

[recoil80]

It would be damn funny if the only iPhone announced today was this SE Plus.
"And now, let's talk about the iPhone..." everyone is excited for the new phones and boom, the SE with its gorgeous design is the only model announced on stage

The only thing worst than a notch in a phone, is an asymmetrical notch.

Ew... and btw, I do think it’s legit.

 

[aaesta]

I honestly don’t under stand iPad vs iPad Air. I under stand macbook air and macbook pro but both iPads are identical .. product lineup flop

This has to be some of the most interesting news all day, mainly because the SE Plus is rumored for quarter one 2021, and if this were to announce today along the already available 4.7 SE2, I could see that being proven very popular for those who want Touch ID with an upgraded processor. [Especially with the right price point.]
