iPhone SE (2016) iPhone SE 2 in 2018?

The Bolded is inaccurate in your post. Then Phil sure actually contradicted himself or the article you posted was misinterpreted, because Schiller also quoted that the iPhone SE stands for “Special Edition”, which he directly admitted in an interview on the phone launch three years back on March 23, 2016.

My quote is correct, so if Phil Schiller said something else at another time, than yes he technically contradicted himself. However, the bottom line seems to be that whether or not the letters have meaning really doesn’t matter. What matters is the value and connotation people attach to these letters. As Schiller goes on in the interview, it is the same in the car sector, where letters may stand for a specific word, but really just stand for a feeling or attitude.

It would actually be quite foolish to market a phone where the letters meant something specific. Apple is a truly international phone, so those letters would have different means in almost every country around the world.

It would be the Chevy Nova all over again. Their goal then should be to pick letters that don’t have pejorative connotations anywhere they’re sold, not some letters in English which mean something specific about the phone.

Last year I had 4 SE's.
Many web pages didn't display properly on the screen anymore.
Dialog boxes and web forms where I had to input stuff would overlap each other.
I'm still using a 6s though. I like how thin it is.

The 6s screen with minimal bezels could fit in an enclosure the size of the SE, which is the point of a lot of these SE2 threads. Anyone getting worked up about the latest SE2 rumors using the 8 housing need to just wait for the 5.4” model next fall.
