Sketchy Rumor Claims 'iPhone SE 2' Could Feature a Glass Back and Support Wireless Charging

Why wouldn't they? They need to start having some consistency between devices. With the upcoming "AirPower" wireless charger it only makes sense to ensure that all future devices supports wireless charger no matter if they are "cheaper" or not. Whats the point with those chargers if you can't even use all your 2018 Apple devices with them?

Guarantee it will be if they sell it for $999.
The $649 is obviously more of the mid-tier market and the SE would be the low end market.
And wouldn't you price like Apple at your $900B company if you could?
I haven't in my usage. I don't have to stand at the terminal like an idiot holding my phone with my thumb on the fingerprint sensor until it scans. I just need to scan my face and then when the terminal is read I can just point the phone.

Won't pay equivalent to $2500 for a new small onehanded SE, no way.
But I definitely want a small phone, no phablet.
Would love if they upgraded it in form and put in just about everything.
I bend for the evolution, just keep the 4" size of SE2

AFAIK, they would prefer wireless charging since they can make more money off additional sales of accessories. I'm assuming it won't come with that capability out of the box since even the IphX and Iph8's didn't include those.
Well, $649 IS the new $200
Especially since $1000 is the new $650 $400 less seems to make something "low end" to Apple, regardless relative to whatever else
Already available, it's called iPad

I agree completely. A 4" SE based on the 8 hardware with 3D Touch would be the perfect successor to my current SE. I don't need wireless charging.
Those enhanced modifications don't sound like a SE-type of build from a cost perspective. My guess, as I've posted here in the past, is that the SE will get dropped in favor of standardizing a common iPhone manufacturing build moving forward, only differentiated by size and cost. Take it to the bank and book it.
1. Large (X Plus)
2. Medium (X)
3. Small (current SE size)

Do not know about "97%" but it does what I need from an iPhone to do.
Nothing more, nothing else.
I have had it since it was announced, and have never had "iPhone envy" relative to the new editions.
In terms of aesthetics, I consider the SE, Apple's Porsche 911, Leica M3...; in term of ergonomics, I consider the SE the best of the lot given its usability and durability factors.
But that is my opinion -- others will differ.

My perfect scenario (and I know it won’t happen with the SE2) is a dual lens, OLED with 256gb. Essentially the iPhone X but smaller, in size and price point. I’ve never understood the appeal of “wireless” charging so I could take or leave it.
I doubt even the third gen one will have all those features. I’d be happy to pay a premium, relative to SE pricing (as £1,150 is just too much).

The article itself specifically states the 6.1" device is targeting the low end market as well. That is what makes the statement so ludicrous, it implies Apple believes a device that costs the same as last year's flagship iPhone 7 is now low-to-mid range.
Alongside these two OLED iPhones, Apple is also said to be planning to introduce a 6.1-inch iPhone with an LCD display, positioned as a more affordable device targeting the low-end and mid-range markets, with a starting price of $649 to $749 in the United States.
The article is wrong, IMO. It says both and clearly the SE is the low end model, the LCD is mid and X/X Plus are flagship.
When was an iPhone $199 (or even close) other than when after subsidy, which really meant it was still $400+?
If faster processor, better camera, and better display weren't reasons to update an iPhone, we'd really have no updates.
The iPhone SE has been under $200 (no subsidy) for the past 4 months... locked in to a pay-as-you-go service, but that is the price of the phone itself. Full service ranges from $25-$45 a month.
I like the 6 size, not the Plus size as that’s just massive, I tried a Note 5 twice and even though that was smaller then Apples Plus phone it felt like a 70” HD telly in my pocket! Both of them didn’t last long in my ownership...
But I’ll look at a new SE if it offers cool features and that switches 128GB option. It’ll be cheap enough to buy and try out before ditching my 6S or 8. The X is also a bit too big and silly money.
Not if it increases costs, the entire point of the SE is low price entry into the iPhone world, it’s pointless if they add a feature only to them add an extra 100 to its price tag!
I have X and notch does not bother me. But I dislike face ID. I liked touch ID significantly more. I would like to have both if possible. Under the screen Touch ID would be perfect
you had VHS tapes on your computer?
I had used cassette tapes on my first computer...
You're not taking into consideration that it's a very small demographic that actually prefers the four-inch iPhone display in today's market. The majority of iPhone users are heavily involved with the 4.7/5.5 inch iPhone and or larger displays. Even if Apple price iPhone SE accordingly, that doesn't mean that it's going to gain anything more than it already has with the demographic that would only want a screen of that size.
A glass iPhone SE would be heavier, more slippery and fragile.
I'd prefer the SE in plastic so it's even lighter and more tactile, like the 5C which was an awesome phone ergonomically.
