The iPhone SE 2 will be ready to launch as as soon as next month, according to reports, and get this, it looks like Apple is nixing the headphone jack on the device, probably incentivizing you to purchase Apple’s Airpod.
More convincing evidence points to the launch of an upgraded 4-inch iPhone right before or during Apple’s WWDC 2018 keynote on June 4, and is said to have a specs in line with the iPhone 7, including the A10 Fusion chipset. Additionally, regulatory filings discovered this week also suggests similar launch timing, and that there are eleven different variants, likely internal storage and color differences, in the pipeline.
A new, one-hand-friendly iPhone that’s the size of the original iPhone SE, based on the iPhone 5 and 5S design, is appealing to some who think the iPhone X is too big. The SE2 entry-level price would also a big attractive.
There’s no confirmation as to whether or not the lack of a headphone jack will help Apple make the iPhone SE 2 water-resistant. Wireless charging, new to the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and iPhone X, is less likely a feature, as it would require a glass back.
The iPhone SE 2 will be Apple’s next entry-level smartphone, but not the only option in 2018. The iPhone X2, iPhone X2 Plus, and 6.1-inch LCD iPhone 9 are also expected to premier in the normal September time frame.
