Kuo: iPad Pro With Rear 3D Sensing and 'iPhone SE 2' on Track to Launch in First Half of 2020

How has NO ONE mentioned the original iPhone SE keynote yet? Apple explicitly said they were BLOWN AWAY at how many people demanded a small screen. The SE was first and foremost about smallness and appeasing the overwhelming / astonishing / surprising / researched-backed SMALL PHONE LOVER. NOT price.

The SE keynote did not say that.

In fact, referring to the 6s/6s plus, he said “...the VAST MAJORITY of our customers prefer these larger display iPhones..”.

He said, in 2015, they sold over 30M 4” screen iPhone. 30M is only 13% of iPhone sales that year.

In explaining these (modest) sales of 4” iPhones, he said “some people“ prefer smaller 4.0” phone.

But further said that many (majority in ”.some countries like China”..) of those 2015 4” iPhone customers were 1st time iPhone buyers. This was clearly budget price customers he was talking about.

Finally, he said they would “start the price” at “only $399”. Said that was the most affordable iPhone ever introduced.

Ie, low price and with a not so subtle hint that it could be further discounted later (which it was).

SE was all about low price. Introducing iPhone to 1st time customers. Those few that loved small regardless of price...with SE they got lucky and got it cheap too.

Instead of proper journalismy, MR can only quote one guy....

If the SE 2 doesn't have a home button, I'll be happy. A 4.7" screen will be a little smaller than the current SE if full edge to edge.

Stop showing off your critical thinking skills!

If Phil Schiller, Senior VP of Marketing said SE was for small phone lovers, he must have meant it in his keynote! He can't possibly be spinning the facts to avoid using the words "low-cost iPhone" in his presentation.

Here's the question, who wants a small screen phone in 2019 with a bad battery life?

So boring apple releasing new hardware features in different timing in their devices, roday ipad has this, iphone will get it next year or in two years, iphone gets this, ipad never, macs just laptops, imacs never, etc
Boring and annoying, not a unifoed user experience
(3d touch, lighting, usb-c and so on)

Any update on the SE's Back Camera Image Sensor ???

Very-likely ONLY 8 Mpx !

Turns out you were wrong.

nope, most likely iPhone 11 one. Just like they did with original SE & 6S. It was the same sensor

And you were wrong too. It uses the same iPhone 8 camera sensor (the better pics are only thanks to the improved ISP in the A13 Bionic)

Probably the same people who love and must go back to "small screen phones"
