How do you know that?
Apple is unpredictable since they came up with an iPhone 5C.
I know nothing. That's the definition of rumors and speculation.

It makes far more sense to predict based on historical precedent than on an anomaly. If that's how you roll though, great. You do you.
 
The 2018 iPad keeps the headphone jack. While I don't believe this "leak", I wouldn't be completely surprised if the SE 2 kept the headphone jack. In fact, I might even expect it.

Hell, even my supposed 1-port 2017 12" MacBook actually has 2 ports, with one of them being a headphone jack.

Cheap Bluetooth headsets exist. 3.5 is on its way out. I doubt we’ll ever see another iPhone with it.
Cheap Bluetooth headsets suck.

Is it so hard to believe they keep the headphone jack? Doesn't the SE lack waterproofing and the haptic feedback module for 3D touch which it also doesn't have and the solid state touch ID?

I thought these were the reasons the jack was removed in the first place.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the SE 2 were just basically the same phone with an updated SoC.

Looks pretty legit IMO
That's where I disagree. Could just be a custom housing.
 
It is still on the iPhone's in Europe. There is more in the world then only America.

Thanks, I understand that -- I read it from other members posting in this thread, too, lol.

The point is that in SOME COUNTRIES, it is NOT there, meaning, those who assume the video MUST be fake because it ISN'T on there in the video are thinking THEIR country is the only one in the world, perhaps? ;-)

Anyway, as I already said in another post above, I'm skeptical that this video shows a genuine new SE model, my objection to this objection notwithstanding. :D

Then if we go that way I predict that Apple is unpredictable and they can keep the headphone jack in the SE just like they kept on their new iMacs.

I don't see an implication to the contrary. Sensitive much?

It's okay, it's the "ugly American" backlash, I get it :). Because some of us really don't exhibit awareness of the rest of the world, all Americans get lumped into the same boat sometimes.

Funny how lumping them all into 1 basket is "not OK" in one direction but completely acceptable in the other, no?

Why is Apple dragging their feet on design? There is no excuse for the next iPhone SE to be rocking the same ancient design as the iPhone 5.

Bring the edge to edge larger screen in a smaller form.

Would much rather the current SE design than an edge to edge display...
 
Wonderful cause no stupid protruding camera. However I personally prefer aluminium over glass due to its physical resistance.
 
I think the point is that since US market 2017 iPhone models 8, 8 Plus, X, don't have it, it's possible that an updated SE wouldn't either, that's all. :). Notwithstanding, I am still a skeptic on this video actually depicting a new SE.

This has been my assumption for awhile now. Whatever people's thoughts are on the design of the iPhone 8, it's nonetheless a design that has been around for years now. It makes sense that, at some point, Apple may want to bring the SE's design in line with its other iPhone models. Indeed, that seemed to be exactly what the previous round of rumors hinted at with the "SE2."

I, for one, would welcome an SE2 that is basically a 4" version of the iPhone 8.
