....according to 9to5mac.....


Exclusive: iPhone 9 launch imminent, 2020 ‘iPhone SE’ in red, white, and black

.....9to5Mac has learned new information about Apple’s long-rumored, entry-level iPhone model, including the marketing name, product colors, and storage options, based on a tip from a highly trusted reader.

Based on the new information, it’s possible Apple could be planning to open orders for the new iPhone as soon as tomorrow; the information definitely tells us that Apple is ready to start accepting orders very soon.

2020 iPhone SE

Apple’s marketing names are perhaps the most protected component of new iPhones, so we’ve used two nicknames to reference the rumored iPhone 8 replacement so far: iPhone SE 2 and iPhone 9.

Based on the new information 9to5Mac has learned, Apple will simply call the new entry-level model “iPhone SE” while referencing the new hardware as the 2020 version.

Apple originally used the iPhone SE marketing name for the 4-inch model that use the iPhone 5s body with the camera and processor from the iPhone 6s.

Color and storage

9to5Mac can also confirm the color and storage options for the 2020 iPhone SE.

Color options will include three options:

White
Black
PRODUCT (Red)
Five iPhone SE cases will also be available:

Black silicone
White silicone
Red leather
Black leather
Midnight blue leather
We can also confirm three storage tiers for the new iPhone SE:

64GB
128GB
256GB
Price and availability

New reporting from 9to5Mac corroborates reliable supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who reported the red color option and 64GB and 128GB options last fall. The higher-capacity 256GB option was not previously reported.

While we cannot confirm the three price points for Apple’s new iPhone SE, Ming-Chi Kuo reported last fall that Apple was planning to price the new model from $399.

The new iPhone SE is expected to have the same design as the iPhone 8, although battery life should much improved with the removal of 3D Touch, a special feature on older iPhones.

Also new to the 2020 iPhone SE compared to the iPhone 8 that it replaces: Express Card and future CarKey support.

While we cannot confirm when Apple will announce the 2020 iPhone SE, it’s possible Apple could reveal and begin taking orders for the new iPhone as soon as tomorrow.

9to5Mac learned from a separate source earlier this week that retailers are preparing to start merchandising cases for the new iPhone starting Sunday. This doesn’t rule out an official announcement early next week.



we......will......see........tomorrow.......?!

The main reason many people (myself included) keep their SE is because of size. So what does Apple do? Give us an oversized renamed 8. No thanks regardless of price.

I thought "SE 2020" was gonna be the go to moniker.
Anyway, it's too small whatever its name is.

The SE and it's progeny are dead.

So spare yourself the ninja contortions.

There's been a lengthy debate as to whether the SE was released as a 'budget 'Phone or a small 'Phone for those of us who hate Face Slabs, phablets, and tablones.

As the SE was merely a retooled and slightly updated 5s, I have to admit it was Apple's effort to make a less expensive 'Phone, and the form factor was incidental.

Loved by many of us, but still incidental.

There's no economical way the SE could be made with current tech, at least not on Apple's road map.

While it could be done, the cost would be as much if not more than their Tier One lineup.

The new 'Phoneness will replace the 8. Maybe the XR as well?

The SE is dead. Long live the 'iPhone 9'. Or Apple may call it the 'iPhone'.

'Phone^® is taken.

As for launching, I think the 14th or 15th would be more likely.

None of it really matters to me.

Apple Store lists screen protector compatible with 'iPhone SE / 7 / 8'

The Apple Store appears to have leaked the official name of Apple's next iPhone, as a listing for an iPhone 8 screen protector was updated on Thursday to reflect compatibility with "iPhone SE."

In what looks to be an update pushed out by Apple, the Belkin InvisiGlass Ultra screen protector now shows support for iPhone SE. Previously, the accessory noted compatibility with iPhone 8 and iPhone 7, according to a cached version of the webpage.

The change, if legitimate, falls in line with current rumors regarding the release of a more affordable handset that borrows its design from the 2-year-old iPhone 8. Whereas the original iPhone SE featured a 4-inch screen, Apple's iPhone 8 sports a 4.7-inch screen with earpiece, camera and Touch ID cutouts identical to that of iPhone 7.

It's already been mentioned at AI that the site was up-updated and there's no mention of the 'iPhone SE'.

It's still no SE.

The Store hasn't shut down but it may not need to, to slip in a New in the lineup.

So, if it's just going to be an oversized SE, shouldn't they call it the SE-X?
