Rumors about upcoming iPhones are piling up. But in addition to the iPhone 2020 lineup, reports about the iPhone 2021 series are also emerging.
Well-known TFI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo issued a comprehensive note to investors yesterday. In it, he announced the launch of various products, including three new ones, in the first half of 2020. Kuo went a step further and reiterated a very interesting remark about the entry-level iPhone in 2021. According to the report, Apple could unveil another "iPhone SE 2"-like device in the first half of 2021. This one is also expected to feature an LCD screen and Touch ID. However, the biometric recognition technology could be integrated into the sleep/wake button for the first time.
iPhone SE 2 Plus version
Kuo has already a few weeks a Plus version of the iPhone SE successor with this technology in full-screen style. According to his knowledge, this could appear in spring 2021. That means we read this statement not for the first time about the continuation of the entry-level series with the newly placed Touch ID sensor. There are also rumors that Apple is planning two iPhone events per year from 2021. Entry-level models are to be presented in the first half of the year, while the premium devices will appear in the second half of the year.
iPhone 9 or iPhone SE 2?
A successor to the iPhone SE is expected this year – in March to be exact. The name of the device remains unclear. Observers rule out the designation "iPhone SE 2," as the device is said to be based on the iPhone 8 design. They believe Apple will market the model under the name "iPhone 9." Of course, a completely different name is also not out of the question. However, there is agreement on the specifications. The device will feature the A13 chip with 3 GB of RAM and a single-lens camera on the back. The Touch ID sensor will be integrated into the home button, as with the iPhone 8. All details known so far about the "iPhone SE 2" can be found in our extensive Summary. (Photo by 300_librarians / Bigstockphoto)
