How much will the iPhone ES e 2 cost? The new iPhone SE will be presented in September. But the wait is worth it. What processor is in the iPhone SE

We present to your attention a detailed iPhone review SE (Special Edition) is the first smartphone from Apple that belongs to the line of budget devices.

The model was first presented to the public in March 2016.

Apple developers decided not to follow the generally accepted trend of constantly increasing the screen or improving characteristics, which is why the iPhone SE is also called a mixture of and.

This model created for those who prefer to use a compact smartphone and do not see the point of spending a lot of money on purchasing a device. At the same time, the SE model has good functionality, and its design repeats the iconic look of the iPhone 5s, which has become the most successful among all Apple phone models.

The table shows the main technical characteristics of the iPhone SE and a comparison of the gadget with the parameters of the iPhone 6s, 7s, 8s.

As you can see, the gadget is really a kind of combination of several versions of iPhones.

The smartphone has a built-in powerful processor, good battery, main camera 12 MP. Front-camera The quality is inferior to newer iPhone models, since 1.2 MP is the quality taken from the 5th generation iPhones.

Unpacking and packaging

Despite the fact that the iPhone SE is very similar to the 5th generation iPhone, the packaging and equipment is still close to the 6s.

The smartphone box is decorated in soft colors. At the top there is an image of the phone, and on the side faces the company logo and device model are indicated.

• Lightning cord;
• Charging plug;
• Branded headset EarPods;
• SIM card clip;
• Earbuds with detailed description functionality and instructions for setting up the phone for the first time.

In general, everything looks very neat and high quality, which corresponds Apple style.

Assembly and design

The appearance of the iPhone SE corresponds to the concept of a classic iPhone - a 4-inch display and a fairly massive body.

This is the kind of smartphone, according to Steve Jobs, that is the ideal mobile device.

Also, the appearance, build quality and all the smallest details of the case are fully consistent with the iPhone 5S.

Today everyone is accustomed to the thinnest smartphones with large screens. Apple also prefers to adhere to the general development trend mobile devices, so all new generations have standard models with a large screen.

The decision to release the iPhone SE is explained by the fact that Apple took into account the wishes of users who prefer to work with standard smartphones with good hardware and low cost.

Of course, for those who are used to using thin smartphones, the iPhone SE may seem too rugged at first.

But after a while you can quickly get used to this shape, and you will realize that the phone fits very comfortably in your hand, and the display size is sufficient for everyday use.

IPhone SE is one of the most popular device models from Apple in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

This suggests that users still prefer compactness and classics.

Also, the iPhone SE has Several design differences from the classic iPhone 5S:

• More flowers. Now the smartphone is available not only in grey, gold and silver, but also in Rose Gold;
• Company logo. The now famous apple is made of glossy metal. The logo is inserted into the body as a completely independent component, so it gives the impression of a more accurate application. Let us recall that in previous generations of iPhones the apple was pressed into the material back cover;
• In addition to the standard inscription, the SE model identifier is also engraved on the device’s body, which makes it possible not to confuse the gadget with the 5S.

The front part of the smartphone is also made in the best Apple traditions.

The scanner is located in the lower area.

Note that the fifth version of the smartphone uses more old version scanner.

For unknown reasons, Apple developers have not reported which version of Touch ID is installed in the iPhone SE.

By simply testing both the 6 Plus (they use new versions of the scanner) and the iPhone SE, you can determine the quality of the function.

If you take all three smartphones and press the Touch ID key at the same time, the result will be controversial. It's immediately clear that the scanner is a little slower on the iPhone SE. It is highly likely that the SE has the same fingerprint scanner as the fifth generation device.

Overall, the appearance of the iPhone SE is a good example of a classic smartphone.

The quality of all parts is at the highest level. Although Apple managed to use not the latest hardware components, they work well and do not raise doubts among the user.

The presence of new body colors attracts attention to the device.

Screen

The screen of the iPhone SE is quite standard for both Apple smartphone:

• Diagonal – 4 inches;
• Resolution 1136x640 (IPS matrix);
• No 3D Touch support.

As you can see, the characteristics are quite modest.

Today, even most budget smartphones have a larger display diagonal and a resolution of at least 720p.

As for the screen material, it consists of a solid glass plate, which is firmly connected to the body.

The build quality is excellent - no creaks or crackles of the gadget at the interface display module and there is no back cover.

Also, the screen supports technology, so the number of scratches will be minimal.

In backlit mode, the smartphone has good viewing angles, and the display itself does not glare in the sun.

Performance

By tradition, we will test the performance of the smartphone using the well-known utility.

It shows the real operating parameters of the device and its performance in various modes.

The test result was pleasantly surprising. It turns out that the iPhone SE performs better than the 6s model.

Most likely, this figure was achieved thanks to a simpler OS and a powerful A9 processor.

The AnTu Tu Benchmark program itself identifies the phone in the model database as iPhone 5SE, codenamed iPhone 8.4

Memory

Immediately after the start iPhone sales SE could be purchased in one of two trim levels - for 16 GB or 64 GB.

Today Apple has revised its policy for working with built-in memory on all gadgets. The solution was to increase the existing storage capacities, so now new copies of the iPhone SE can only be bought in 32 GB and 128 GB.

Average cost of iPhone SE in Russia (as of 2018):

• iPhone SE 128 GB – 26 thousand rubles;
• iPhone SE 64 GB – 24 thousand rubles.

Also, in the Russian Federation you can still purchase 16 GB and 32 GB models. Their price is 19,000 and 23,000 rubles, respectively.

Battery

iPhone SE works with a battery with a capacity of 1624 mAh.

Quite a small figure when compared with modern smartphones with 4000 mAh or more.

Apple, as always, managed to make a device with a modest battery that holds a charge for quite a long time.

This is achieved through perfect compatibility of hardware components and native functionality operating system.

According to the manufacturer, the battery allows the smartphone to:

Please note that the above parameters do not mean that you will be able to use your gadget for that long. We regularly use our phone for more than just making calls or keeping it locked, so battery life depends on what you do on your iPhone SE.

Below is a short table that will help you understand how long the phone will last for you personally.

Select the activities you do most often and find out your average battery life:

The information indicated in the table is taken from the materials of the official presentation of the smartphone at Apple conference. The actual parameters correspond to those declared by Apple.

By comparison, the iPhone 5s has a 1,560 mAh battery, so a Special Edition phone will definitely outlast its predecessor. In standard operating mode (listening to music, using the Internet, making several calls a day), the gadget will easily work all day without the need for recharging. Small size allows you to consume fewer resources.

Camera

The iPhone SE has a good camera. The declared 12 MP is quite enough for shooting high-quality videos in Full HD.

Also, you will be provided with excellent pictures, regardless of the lighting and weather outside.

For Apple, 12 MP is an excellent indicator.

If other phones with the same main camera performance cannot always produce high-quality images, this is not a problem.

The company's engineers are excellent at combining hardware and software components, so the camera in the iPhone SE largely depends on the iOS firmware.

The standard camera program supports all the necessary functions– flash control, adjusting sharpness, color range, coldness or warmth of shades.

Examples of photos from iPhone cameras SE:

The smartphone comes pre-installed with iOS 9.3. Today, this version of the mobile OS is considered outdated.

The reason why the developers decided to install it as native firmware is that newer builds cannot fully work on a 4-inch screen.

iOS 9.3 is an ideal OS in terms of performance and compatibility with hardware components. Of course, if you wish, you can always update over the air or using the desktop.

When it comes to installing programs, there are no restrictions for iOS 9.3.

There are tens of thousands of games and applications that you can install on your iPhone SE.

The only thing is that all UI functions do not work on a 4-inch display. For example, there is no 3D Touch technology, three-finger control at once (required for some games), and rather limited space on the desktop.

You can only place 4 rows of icons on the home screen. For comparison, Apple's 4.7-inch display already holds 5 rows of icons. It will not always be convenient for a user to organize his desktop in the iPhone SE, unless you create 2-3 home screens and add only the most necessary components to them.

The appearance of iOS 9.3 is practically no different from previous builds.

The only thing is that the programmers have improved the convenient interaction with the desktop.

Now moving between screens has become even smoother and faster when compared to iOS 8.

Also, in 9.3, the Night Shift mode appeared for the first time, with which you can configure a convenient color scheme and mode for using the display in the dark.

The color scheme of the main menu icons has also changed. They became brighter and more saturated. In general, iOS 9, although not comparable to, is quite a good and functional system for working with the budget iPhone SE. Many users prefer to leave their native firmware rather than switch to new Apple developments.

Advantages and disadvantages

To summarize the review, we can highlight the main pros and consiPhone S.E..

• Compact size. While for most modern users this characteristic may be considered a minus, true connoisseurs of classic smartphones will like the small screen diagonal;
• Familiar design. It is the look from the beloved iPhone 5 that is used in the new iPhone SE. The manufacturer made only minor cosmetic changes to the case, which only emphasized the classic look of the smartphone;
• Budget cost. SE model is the cheapest of all Apple phones. Note that in 2018 it is planned to release another component of the budget iPhone SE 2 line;
• All cases and other accessories from iPhone 5 s also suitable for S.E. ;
• Fast work . The A9 processor allows you to perform any task without slowdowns or freezing of the operating system. Performance problems can only arise if you ;
• The main camera is built into the body . In the SE, the camera does not protrude from the back cover, which allows the lens to be less scratched when it comes into contact with other surfaces;
• The 12 MP camera shoots 4K video quite well, even up to 240 frames per second. . A very good indicator for budget smartphone.

• Various articles are also inconvenient on a small screen. Also, it may be difficult to use full versions websites;
• Small battery capacity. Although it is a little larger than in 5s, I would still like more powerful battery, since the smartphone is the main gadget that users use most often;
• Front-camera. It is impossible to take a normal selfie on it, because 1.2 MP is essentially nothing. This camera is only suitable for FaceTime conversations.

Our life is full of rumors, and since there is no 100% reliable information about the continuation of the iPhone SE line, version 2, and there are already a lot of various rumors, we’ll talk about it based on rumors. But in this article we have collected information for you not from the first publications we came across, but from sources close to the official ones, the information in which is similar to the truth, so to speak - the most reliable rumors.

Based on available sources, we’ll talk about the design, expected release date, characteristics, new features and, of course, price. And the exact information will be closer to the release date and, accordingly, with the release of the iPhone itself. Especially when new iPhone SE 2 will hit the market, no one will really remember what was said earlier. Go.

Video review of Iphone SE 2 2018

Design

Everyone knows that the first iPhone SE was a complete copy of the iPhone 5 in design, the only difference being the inscription on the back of the device and the Home button (for the SE it is a touch button). Next iPhone version SE, by design, moved more into iPhone side 8, but excluding a number of distinctive features.

• 4.2 inch display.
• System based on A10 Fusion processor.
• 2 GB random access memory.12 megapixel camera.
• 3D Touch support.

The first thing that can be noted from these features is color. The first iPhone SE had four color options - gray, silver, pink gold and gold. But the iPhone SE 2, according to rumors so far, will be released in three color options, two old colors and one new one. Silver and gray space will remain, but perhaps they will be replaced, like in the iPhone X, with white and black. But the new color, according to rumors, will be something between gold and rose gold.

The second feature is the back of the phone, in new version it will be glass, not aluminum, and it will be made for wireless charging, although many people do not use it on the iPhone X, as far as we know.

A small digression - there are plans to release a new wireless charger, Air Power, with which you can charge several legendary Apple gadgets at the same time, and, according to analysts, it will not be cheap, about $200.

There is even a rumor, or theory, depending on who you like, that the new iPhone SE 2 may have a display on the entire front panel, like the iPhone 10. But the likelihood of this is extremely low, since Apple most likely will not release a smartphone model which will compete with existing flagships. Most likely, we will see the classic look of the front panel with the Touch ID button, like the first version of SE.

Rumors also talk about reducing the thickness of SE 2 by several millimeters, and most likely this will happen, this is a normal trend in the smartphone industry, when each subsequent model becomes thinner and lighter than the previous one.

Display

According to sources, the display size is planned to be increased, but not by much, from 4 to 4.2 inches by reducing the size of the frames, and this is a pretty good step on Apple’s part. But the fact that 3D-Touch may appear in the iPhone SE 2 (this would be a logical solution) is denied by some analysts, saying that such technologies are currently only characteristic of premium segment gadgets, at higher prices.

Specifications

In the second generation iPhone SE, the hardware will be similar to the “stuffing” of the iPhone 7, this is the A10 Fusion processor, 2 gigabytes of RAM, a seven-megapixel front camera with Retina Flash flash and a twelve-megapixel main camera with a 2.2 aperture. But you shouldn’t expect a significant increase in battery life; 60 milliamp hours won’t change anything.

date of release

Let's dive into history, the first iPhone SE was released in March 2016. It would be logical to release a continuation of this smartphone in the next version in March 2017, but this did not happen. Only the same SE with 32 and 128 GB of memory appeared. As for the release of the iPhone SE 2, analysts are divided in their opinions, some think it will appear in March of this year, others say, most likely, in the first half of the year, at the WWDC 2018 exhibition, which traditionally takes place in early June.

How much will it cost

Price, and this is probably the most interesting question, there are rumors that the pricing policy will not change and will remain the same, that is, the second generation model in the basic configuration can be purchased for $400. And this seems to be true, because today you can buy an iPhone 7 for $550, and this is the same “stuffing”, but with a larger display.

The smartphone turned out to be very successful, “grossing cash” in the mid-price segment, and mercilessly beats competitors in emerging markets.

When to expect iPhone SE 2

At the end of last year, in many countries (including Russia), the best-selling smartphone was Apple. This is a real godsend, especially for countries like India and China. The model looks cheerful even now, but the venerable age of the “esque” does not allow it to be purchased.

After the recent price cut for the iPhone SE, it is turning into an ideal purchase for those who need a compact smartphone, who want to try Apple for the first time, or for those who are looking for a device to act as a second phone.

Now iPhone SE sells from 20 thousand rubles. For this amount we get almost flagship characteristics, good camera, an easy-to-use one-handed display and a proven body design that has proven itself over the years.

The price reduction is clearly approved by Apple and is aimed at selling off stockpiled Russia iPhone S.E.

Many indicate that the second-generation “budget flagship” will appear next spring. It makes no sense to roll out such devices every year; once every two years is a normal cycle. Among the potential buyers of SE 2 there will be those who, for some reason, will be disappointed in the iPhone presented in the fall.

I wouldn’t specifically wait for the iPhone SE 2, no one will give a 100% guarantee of the device’s appearance, the price tag at the start of sales may be too high, and how long the generosity of domestic resellers with the price of the first SE will last is unknown.

What will the iPhone SE 2 be like?

A smartphone is a must new design. The “angular remnant” from 2013 will be a complete failure in 2018. Even last year, before the presentation of the iPhone SE, everyone was waiting for a new design in the “six” style. Cupertino decided to save on development and sell off old components, but this cannot be done a second time.

After the release of SE 2, the first one will become cheaper even more; resellers will offer this model for at least a year for an average of 15-17 thousand. At the same time, only a few will choose a new product for its updated filling. We are definitely looking forward to a new design in the iPhone SE 2.

Another major innovation could be a 4.2-inch display. A slight increase in the screen should not affect the size of the new product. If the dimensions remain the same and the screen is larger, this will be a significant advantage when choosing SE 2.

Changes “under the hood” will be of least interest to potential buyers; this is not a flagship model and measuring scores in synthetic tests will be unnecessary. However, the model may inherit the hardware from the iPhone 7. There will be an improved camera, a second-generation Touch ID, and an A10 Fusion processor.

Storage capacity and price

Many sources confirm that the iPhone SE 2 will be released in two versions: with 32 GB and 128 GB storage. In the US, models will cost $300 And $400 , respectively.

For us this will result in 27-30 And 35-37 thousand rubles at the start of sales. Not that tempting, especially considering the cheaper iPhone 6s and iPhone 7.

Do I need an iPhone SE 2

Definitely! This is not the first time Apple has entered the mid-price segment. Experiment with plastic iPhone 5c was a mixed bag, but the second appearance with SE turned out much better.

It is obvious that the company plans to maintain market share in developing countries and squeeze out Android competitors in other markets.

It’s always cool when you can buy an iPhone for $300-400, when you can choose between a flagship and a simpler model, when you have a big “shovel” and a convenient smartphone.

As 5s practice has shown, such devices can easily withstand a 4-year operating cycle.

What will the iPhone SE 2 be like? They told me all the available details.

iPhone SE 2 - a long-awaited and truly desirable smartphone Apple, which has not yet been announced. On October 3, 2019 it became known that iPhone SE 2 will still be released! The launch of the smartphone was confirmed by the most authoritative analyst from the Apple world, Ming-Chi Kuo. In this article, we have collected all the reliable information about the iPhone SE 2 - no unverified rumors, only leaks from the most trusted sources.

Note: We will update this topic with fresh, reliable leaks until the official release of the iPhone SE 2. Stay tuned!

iPhone SE 2 - will it come out or not?

Let's start with the main question that interests most fans of compact smartphones. Is Apple really developing the iPhone SE 2 and preparing to release it?

Over the past few years, there have been a ton of rumors about the iPhone SE 2. Various sources, now unheard of, predicted the release of the iPhone SE 2 at different times. But the smartphone still hasn’t come out.

However, on October 3, 2019, there was reliable confirmation of the imminent release of the iPhone SE 2. The most authoritative analyst from the Apple world, Ming-Chi Kuo, said that the iPhone SE 2 will be released in early 2020.

Design

According to Kuo, iPhone SE 2 will be similar to the 4.7-inch iPhone 8. The similarity will be great, since Apple will actually create new smartphone based on components of the iPhone 8. This means that the iPhone SE 2 will receive a body with slightly rounded corners and edges.

The specialist did not specify whether the back surface will be glass (like the iPhone 8) or aluminum. Note that if the iPhone SE 2 has a glass body, the device will receive support for wireless charging.

The smartphone will be released in three colors: space gray, silver and red.

Display

iPhone SE 2 will not be as compact as its predecessor with a 4-inch screen. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, The smartphone will be equipped with a 4.7-inch LCD display with a resolution of 750×1334 pixels and an aspect ratio of 16:9. It is expected that it will be exactly the same display as the iPhone 8, with relatively wide bezels around the perimeter.

Characteristics

Behind iPhone performance SE 2 will be powered by a system based on the Apple A13 Bionic processor. This is the flagship chip that is used in smartphones iPhone 11 , iPhone 11 Pro And iPhone 11 Pro Max. Thus, the inexpensive iPhone SE will have the most powerful processor among mobile devices. This will allow him to freely run any applications, including games from Apple Arcade.

The real performance of the A13 Bionic processor is known. In “live” tests, the processor is ahead of all current chips from Qualcomm. The processor also has no equal in synthetic testing. In the Geekbench benchmark, the A13 Bionic chip scores 5472 points in single-core mode and 13769 points in multi-core mode. It is noteworthy that the yet unannounced flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor has the worst performance.

A13 Bionic processor supported by the system machine learning Third generation Neural Engine. Thereby iPhone SE 2 should now have night mode and special regime Deep Fusion shooting exclusive to iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max.

The smartphone will have 3 GB of RAM and 32 or 128 GB of storage, depending on the configuration.

Battery

The exact battery capacity of the iPhone SE is still unknown. However, there are assumptions that should be close to reality. iPhone SE 2 will be similar in many ways to the iPhone 8, including the arrangement of components. This means that the smartphone will have a battery similar in capacity to the iPhone 8. Expected that The battery capacity of the iPhone SE will be about 1821 mAh.

Touch ID or Face ID?

iPhone SE 2 will receive touch button“Home” with a second-generation Touch ID fingerprint scanner built into it. The smartphone will not have Face ID face scanning function.

iPhone SE 2 cameras

In his report, Ming-Chi Kuo did not specify what kind of cameras the new iPhone SE 2 will have. In this regard, there is only guesswork regarding the cameras of Apple's next budget smartphone. They are based on information that the iPhone SE 2 will be very similar to the iPhone 8.

The new iPhone SE 2 will probably borrow from the iPhone 8 and its cameras. In this case, the main camera of the smartphone will be single with a resolution of 12 megapixels (f/1.8 aperture). The front camera of the smartphone will have a resolution of 7 megapixels (f/2.2 aperture).

iPhone SE 2 price

According to available data, the iPhone SE 2 will receive a price similar to the original iPhone SE - $399 for basic version with 32 GB of memory and $499 for a model with 128 GB of memory. In Russia, iPhone SE 2 will be priced at 35,990 rubles. and 44,990 rub. respectively. October 14 iPhone SE 2 price confirmed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

• The price of iPhone SE 2 is from 35,990 rubles.

Should we wait for the release of iPhone SE 2?

After rumors about the iPhone SE 2 began to appear more and more often, many fans of Apple technology faced another important question. WITH Should I wait for the iPhone SE 2 to come out and not buy others for now? iPhone models? However, even more often we get this modification of the question - “Is it worth buying an iPhone SE or is it better to wait for the iPhone SE 2?”

It is important to understand that initially iPhone SE 2 will definitely not be budget, remember this. At first, the new iPhone SE 2 will be sold at a price of more than 35 thousand rubles. The price of a smartphone will drop to a more pleasant 20-25 thousand rubles only a year after the start of sales.

When will iPhone SE 2 be released?

Let us draw a conclusion from all of the above. iPhone SE 2 will be presented at Apple's March 2020 presentation.

Since April 2018, there have been rumors about the imminent release of the new iPhone SE 2. The smartphone is awaited in the same way as all types of Apple technology before. The anticipation is fueled by the potential budget and availability of the future device. Various information leaks and even renders of the device continue to leak onto the network. The funniest thing about the situation is that the manufacturer has not yet officially confirmed the presentation date for the iPhone SE 2.

How does the world know what's new? Apple device about to go out? The company registers the device it plans to release in the list of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). A new model from Apple (its name is unknown) was registered in April. At one time, it was from this list that the public learned about the upcoming release of AirPods, iPhone 7 and iPad 2018. Therefore, we should hope that the new model will actually appear soon, and it will actually be the iPhone SE 2. Presumably, for a number of reasons this cannot be none of the modifications of the iPhone X or iPhone 9.

What will happen in iPhone SE 2?

What can Apple technology fans expect from the iPhone SE 2? The characteristics can be called quite approximate. Presumably the device will be small size. The filling will be placed in the body of the basic CE model or the body of one of the iPhones 6/6s/7 will be made more compact. The manufacturer keeps this a secret. According to rumors, development was carried out under the code name Jaguar, but it is unlikely that the phone will be released under this name.

For iPhone SE 2, the basic specifications will look something like this:

• 4 or 4.6-inch screen with a “monobrow” cutout (like the iPhone X);
• absence of a Home button;
• improved Face ID facial identification function, the presence of TrueDepth cameras necessary for the technology (this is consistent with the absence of a Home button);
• a system based on a 64-bit 4-core A10 Fusion chipset (according to other sources, a newer 6-core A11 Bionic chip);
• RAM 2 GB;
• the main camera is 12 megapixels with optical image stabilization (the same as the iPhone 8) and the front camera is 7 megapixels;
• 3D Touch system on the front edge (expected, but debatable);
• battery 1700 mAh (the predecessor SE had 1624 mAh, that is, battery life will not increase significantly);
• lack of 3.5 audio output for headphones (it disappeared for the first time in the iPhone 7, and was still present in the previous SE model);
• Perhaps it will support wireless charging technology - just like the latest flagship.

The new product will have hardware at the level of iPhone 7 and stronger than that of the “parent” model SE. If the assumptions are correct, then the iPhone SE 2 will be the most powerful compact phone in the world. At the same time, its expected cost is very affordable: $399 for a model with 32 GB memory and $499 for 128 GB.

How will the new iPhone SE 2 data differ from the characteristics of previous models?

Due to the 4-inch screen, one can assume that Apple is playing short. In the release of the iPhone SE, which appeared on the market in March 2016, the screen was the same size, but models 7, 8 and X were larger. On the other hand, the compactness of the new iPhone is an advantage for many buyers who do not like large devices. And the cost of SE 2 will be affordable.

In May 2017, the first leak occurred, which concerned the appearance of the product. According to a well-known insider, the iPhone SE 2 will have an aluminum body with slightly rounded corners. That is, it will be similar to the parent model SE (which, in turn, differs little from the 5s) only in size, and in design - to modifications of the iPhone 6/6s/7. Photos of the back panels of the phone were even published. If they are correct, then the device will be housed in a glossy black case - the same as the iPhone Seven.

There are literally a few days left until the expected release date, but appearance smartphones continue to argue. Perhaps it will resemble the “parent” model with square edges, but with improved technical content. This version is likely: market experts believe that Apple does not have the funds to create a completely new device in a compact case.

An important technical difference between the new product and the previous SE model is the expected support for pressure technology on the 3D Touch display. The iPhone SE did not have this system to reduce the cost, but it has already appeared in the 6s version. The Home button was a feature of iPhones until recently, but it disappeared in the iPhone X. It is not expected in the new smartphone either. Same as the headphone port.

When will iPhone SE 2 appear in Ukraine?

There have been many speculations about the release date of the new device. It was registered in the EEC database in April, and its appearance was expected in the same month. For the iPhone SE 2, the release date was confusing: in recent years, all devices were presented to the public in September-October (except for the iPhone SE, which was presented in March). According to other sources, it was supposed to be announced in April 2018 at the Apple educational event in Chicago along with new iPad. But this did not happen.

Another expected date for the presentation of the iPhone SE 2 is June 2018; an Apple developer conference called WWDC 2018 (Apple Worldwide Developers Conference) was planned for this month. The new product was not even mentioned at the event. The most final date is supposedly the first half of September; the phone can be presented along with the main iPhone line. According to rumors, the developers themselves reported this. So far there is no news about iPhone SE 2 (presentation or at least some official materials).

Should we expect the release of iPhone SE 2 in Ukraine, or can we buy another model for now? It depends on what the potential buyer likes. If the iPhone 6/6s/7 seems attractive, but a more compact body and budget price suit you, you can wait for the release of the new product. It is likely that there is very little left. They are already writing about the start of sales in November of this year. On the other hand, if you like the SE version, then it’s better to buy it and not wait: it costs less than the supposed SE 2.

In July, information surfaced that supposedly there was already a prototype, but Apple management abandoned the idea of ​​releasing a budget smartphone. According to calculations, the costs invested in it will not be justified by the planned price. Therefore, the manufacturer will focus on 3 other new iPhone developments, which it promises to present in September. On the other hand, publications continue about the imminent appearance of the phone on sale, and we are still waiting for it. Some stores even put up pre-orders for the model. Be that as it may, the prices in our catalog for new Apple products will always be lower than those of others - don’t forget!
