Apple's got the
premium end of the smartphone market covered with the £999 iPhone X - so it's
no surprise that the company is turning its attention to the other end of the
spectrum. It is significantly important for Apple to cover the whole market
instead of just focusing on a mere ratio of those who can afford premium
luxury. The company's iPhone SE was billed as a powerful 4-inch option for
those wanting a smaller device for the premium when it launched in March last year.
And rumors are currently circulating that Apple plans to update it in the
coming months. It's also about time that Apple updated the form factor of the
device - which is based on the iPhone 5 from 2012 -as well as updating the
internal components to keep it competitive in 2018.
There's no telling on
when Apple may reveal the next version of the iPhone SE but gadget watchers
reckon it could be in March 2018, a year after the first phone was launched. As
well as the smaller screen size, part of the appeal of the iPhone SE 2 will undoubtedly be the price. Apple raised a few eyebrows with
the £999 entry-level price tag of the iPhone X but the SE 2 will be
considerably cheaper. There's limited information around about what the iPhoneSE 2 might look like but a report from BGR suggests it will have a glass back.
This makes sense as all of Apple's recent handsets have a glass back to
facilitate wireless charging.
The latest iPhone leak
reveals a MASSIVE upgrade could be on the way, It will boast an A10 Fusion
processor (the same one in the iPhone 7) and will have a 12MP camera on the
back with an upgraded 7MP selfie camera on the front. The internal RAM will
remain at 2GB and storage options will be a choice of either 32GB or 128GB. The
site also says the battery will be raised from 1,640mAh to 1,700mAh. Given that
it will have a smaller, lower resolution screen than other iPhones, you should
expect the battery life to be fairly decent.
