iPhone SE: Every spec, rumor and the launch date

Collected
Apple is likely to launch a far more affordable phone in the coming days, that could be the first of at least five iPhones expected to launch in 2020. This device is all but confirmed to be named the iPhone SE and will be a long overdue update to 2016's much-loved iPhone SE. If the rumors are true, this would signal Apple's renewed commitment to lower-cost phones as global smartphone sales continue to decline.

But remember that the world is amid a pandemic, the launch date and its own rumored April 22 shipment date could change. Apple -- combined with the broader smartphone and gadgets industry --  have already been grappling with widespread supply-chain disruptions caused by the coronavirus which includes already forced Apple to lessen its quarterly earnings guidance and shutdown stores in the US and China. Until Apple's spring launch occurs, however, we'll continue steadily to gather the most credible and compelling rumors that contain been circulating to provide you with an idea of what things to expect from it.

The 2020 iPhone SE may launch at $399
Renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts the  2020 iPhone SE will cost $399 (likely £399 or AU$699) for the bottom variant. At this price, Apple may potentially lure budget-minded customers who aren't willing to splurge $1,000 or even $700 (on say, an iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 11) into making an upgrade. This is not the 1st time Apple targeted the "budget" segment of the smartphone market. The original iPhone SE launched at $399. At that time it was hundreds of dollars cheaper than its Apple-made contemporaries and finished up being truly a successful product for the business. As the global smartphone market shrinks and fewer consumers splurge on premium handsets, Apple knows the importance of offering a low-cost but high-quality phone shouldn't be overlooked -- particularly if it wants to make further inroads into massive, price-sensitive countries like China and India.

The 2020 iPhone SE may feature the A13 bionic chip, up to 256GB storage
The upcoming iPhone SE, according to Kuo, is likely to be modeled following the iPhone 8 including having a home button, but with increased internals. It could have Apple's newest chipset, the A13 processor, which is the same one within the iPhone 11 series, and include 3GB RAM. The 2020 iPhone SE comes into play three storage variants, 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB, according to a 9to5Mac report. The report also says it'll also come in white, black and red color options, along with five different official cases including black silicone, white silicone and red leather.
