It is known that secrets cannot be kept very well by big companies, and images and technical data exact ones appear long before the launch of a new smartphone or iPhone model, in the case Apple. This is what happened in recent years, so that before the launch event of a new iPhone model, people would not be very surprised. They had already appeared on the Internet images si technical details about the future device.

Recently, there are more and more new rumors about the details of the "intermediate" iPhone model that will be released this spring by Apple. Apparently we will have a new device "SE". Not sure if the new device will be named iPhone SE 2 or iPhone 9, although the last variant is a little meaningless, given that the market has been for three years iPhone X (10) and for several good months, iPhone 11.

Looking a little behind, we could say that the new device will be named iPhone SE 2. On 21 September 2012, Apple launch iPhone 5. A completely new design and an atypical screen for the devices at that time. Following its tradition, in the autumn of next year, on 20 September 2013, Apple launches an "S" version of the previous model. Both iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S they enjoyed a record number of sales, and users appreciated the new design with elongated screen and thick edges with firm lines.
The success enjoyed by iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S, they determined Apple to launch the iPhone SE in the spring of 2016. An iPhone 6S with an iPhone 5 design. This model was also a real success, and users expected another model, with the screen dimensions of the iPhone 7, but keeping the thick edges from the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S. This did not happen, but recently there are more and more rumors that in March 2020 we will have an SE 2.

What will the design and technical specifications of the iPhone SE 2 / iPhone 9 look like

It would be nice to keep the design from the iPhone X and only change the edges. To give up the rounded ones and return to the firm, thick ones. However, the rumors appearing online indicate iPhone SE 2 as a clone of iPhone 8. With the mention that the rear surface will give up the glass and will be provided with matte glass present on iPhone 11 Pro. The dimensions are the same as the iPhone 8. 138.5 x 67.4 x 7.8mm.
The edges will be thicker by approximately 0,5 mm (7.8 mm total) than the iPhone 8, and under 4.7 inch screen we will find button Home. So it will not be a device with a screen on the whole surface.
Even if under the case we will find a hardware of iPhone 11with Apple A13 Bionic si RAM 3GB, the iPhone SE2 will have a single camera on the back.

If we look a little at the specifications above, iPhone 9 or iPhone SE 2 will rather be a continuation of iPhone 8 than iPhone SE.
It is certain that the new device from the spring of 2020 will be a resuscitation of the iPhone 8. With iPhone 11 hardware, iPhone 11 Pro frosted glass on the back and dimensions, iPhone 8 screen.

Price starting price for iPhone 9 / iPhone SE 2 will be $399. A low cost model, somewhat more affordable than the iPhone 11 series.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
