The iPhone SE 2: A Speculative Analysis

My initial thought when I heard about the iPhone SE 2 was that it wouldn't be released anytime soon. However, after further consideration, I'm not entirely convinced that's true. Most of the leaks and rumors that did come out about the iPhone SE 2 actually ended up being the iPhone 10, which caused a lot of confusion among fans. Despite this, there were still some leaks that hinted at an iPhone SE 2 in the works. It's hard to tell for sure what Apple is doing or if they've just not started production yet on the iPhone SE.

There are many factors that suggest the iPhone SE 2 could be released soon. One of them is the fact that it was initially supposed to be released two years ago, but production had not even begun. Since then, there haven't been many leaks or rumors, which only adds to the mystery. Additionally, Apple has been releasing budget-friendly products in late 2018 and early 2019, such as the iPad Mini and iPod Touch, which may indicate that they're trying to appeal to a wider audience. The fact that March would be the three-year anniversary of the iPhone SE also makes me think that an iPhone SE 2 could be released soon.

Another factor to consider is the changing market landscape. With people upgrading their phones less frequently, Apple may realize that they need to offer more affordable options. The original iPhone SE started out at $399 for a 16GB model and went up to $599 for a 64GB model, which was a significant investment at the time. If Apple were to release an iPhone SE 2 with slightly improved internals and a better camera, it could be a huge success.

I think that if the price is right, an iPhone SE 2 would sell like hotcakes. The original iPhone SE was a hit due to its compact size and affordable price point, which made it appealing to a wide range of customers. If Apple were to follow a similar strategy with the iPhone SE 2, they could capitalize on this trend and create a loyal customer base.

As for the specifications, I think that the 64GB base model would be the perfect price point for the iPhone SE 2. $499 is a reasonable price that would put it in competition with other mid-range smartphones on the market. The 128GB or 256GB options could also be priced similarly, with a slight increase to reflect the larger storage capacity.

One thing that I'm sure of is that Apple will not sell any iPhone model with only 16GB of storage. This has become an industry standard in recent years, and Apple would need to adapt to stay competitive. Additionally, I think that the headphone jack will still be present on the iPhone SE 2, which is something that many fans have been clamoring for.

In conclusion, while there are no guarantees about the release of the iPhone SE 2, I believe that it's possible. The market landscape is changing, and Apple needs to adapt to stay relevant. With a slightly improved design, better internals, and a competitive price point, an iPhone SE 2 could be a huge success for Apple.

The Coincidences Surrounding the iPhone SE 2

One of the most interesting things about the iPhone SE 2 is the lack of leaks and rumors in recent months. This has led to some speculation that Apple may not have started production yet on the device, or that they're just keeping everything under wraps until the official announcement.

However, looking back at the past few years, I think it's unlikely that Apple would keep something like this secret for so long. There were a lot of leaks and rumors about the iPhone SE 2 in 2018, which only added to the confusion. Now that we're closer to the release date, I'm starting to see more reliable sources confirming that an iPhone SE 2 is indeed in the works.

One of these sources is Apple's own patent filings, which have revealed some interesting details about the potential design of the iPhone SE 2. While nothing has been officially confirmed yet, it's clear that Apple is working on a new device that will build upon the success of the original iPhone SE.

Another factor to consider is the fact that the iPhone SE was released three years ago. This makes March 2019 the perfect time for an iPhone SE 2 release. It's always been a good idea for Apple to try and time their releases around significant anniversaries or milestones, and this seems like a no-brainer.

The iPhone SE 2: What We Can Expect

So what can we expect from the iPhone SE 2? As I mentioned earlier, I think that the 64GB base model would be the perfect price point for the device. $499 is a reasonable price that would put it in competition with other mid-range smartphones on the market.

I also believe that the iPhone SE 2 will have slightly improved internals compared to the original iPhone SE. This could include a faster processor, more RAM, and better storage options. However, I'm not sure if Apple will follow the exact same specs as they did with the iPhone 11 or iPhone 12 series.

One thing that I'm sure of is that the iPhone SE 2 will have a better camera system compared to the original iPhone SE. This could include a dual-camera setup, improved low-light performance, and enhanced portrait mode capabilities.

In terms of design, I think it's safe to say that Apple will stick with the same compact form factor as the original iPhone SE. However, they may introduce some new colors or materials to make the device more appealing to customers.

The Verdict

In conclusion, while there are no guarantees about the release of the iPhone SE 2, I believe that it's possible. The market landscape is changing, and Apple needs to adapt to stay relevant. With a slightly improved design, better internals, and a competitive price point, an iPhone SE 2 could be a huge success for Apple.

As for what we can expect from the device, I think that it will have improved internals compared to the original iPhone SE, but not necessarily drastic changes. The camera system will likely be better, but we'll have to wait until the official announcement to see how much of an upgrade it is.

Overall, I'm excited to see what Apple has in store for us with the iPhone SE 2. With its compact size and affordable price point, this device could be a hit with customers who are looking for a more budget-friendly option.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys my name is Brandon and today we're gonna be talking all about the iPhone se - we're gonna be talkin rumors we're gonna be talkin my predictions and also why I think the iPhone se - could be a big win a big seller for Apple if it gets released in 2019 so the iPhone se was released back in March of 2016 and I actually just purchased one here in 2019 and made a video on it but man that was super impressed with the iPhone se the speed and just really how much different it was than any other iPhone and I do realize that the SE and iPhone se stands for special edition and that could indicate that this is kind of just a one time production run for Apple but I wouldn't be so quick to jump to that conclusion because we all know that Apple isn't really doing too well lately and they're really starting to focus a lot on budget products they know that people are less and less likely to buy $1000 phones now and even if they do they're not going to upgrade it as often as they have in years past so if we combine the fact that Apple is coming off its worst holiday season and a decade and also that customers are becoming less and less likely to upgrade with prices being so high this makes way for a picture perfect entrance for the iPhone se - and not to mention that again Apple is on a tear with budget products lately I mean first we have the iPhone 10 R which you know you may say it's not a bunch of phone but it was for Apple then we had the iPad Mini the iPad Mini refresh coming next month at Apple spring event we have the iPod Touch seventh generation which is rumored to be coming this year as well another refresh that hasn't happened in years so why can't the iPhone se also get a refresh so it hasn't been refreshed in years it's also a budget product so it just makes sense and it goes in line with everything that Apple is doing in 2019 now we have had tons of leaks and rumors about the iPhone se - dating all the way back to 2017 but as of late that really hasn't been a lot of leaks or rumors or really any talk about the iPhone se - and it's kind of confusing but then again it could also be Apple really making sure none of these leaks get out there they're really trying to keep this you know low key and keep it as a surprise release so it's still possible that we can see this next month just because we don't have leaks and rumors does not entirely mean that it's not coming and I do think that Apple's recent iPhone se clearance sale where they sold iPhone se s on Apple comm for a discount was more than just a random clearance sale of iPhone se s I think the Apple is actually running a test here I think was a very smart public demand test to see how much people would buy such an old device such a outdated looking device in 2019 and the age of home button list iPhones how many people would buy a three-year-old device with a home button and with the headphone jacks though and I think they were really surprised and really blown away with the amount of people that bought these because these things sold really quick on apple.com every single time they went out and again the fact that these sold so well with the bezels with the home button with the headphone jack you know with the small display really tells Apple that the demand is still there for a phone like this and I do think that Apple will include both a headphone jack and also a home button on the iPhone se 2 when it does get released I don't think there's going to be an edge-to-edge display I do think they're still going to be some bezels on the display but it may not be as you know pronounced as the bezels on the original iPhone se they may be a little bit less maybe a little bit smaller bezels on both the top and the bottom now I do think that we could have a software based home button like we have on the iPhone 7 in the iPhone 8 on the iPhone se 2 instead of the mechanical physical home button that we have on the original iPhone se that would really only make sense as well as second-generation touch ID as opposed to first generation that we found on the iPhone se and of course I do also think that we're gonna have a headphone jack as well because we do have a home button and also I think it's just going to be there just to have a product with a headphone jack I mean I don't know for sure if they're gonna do that's really hard to tell but Samsung is probably gonna be doing it with the s10 I'm not saying Apple's gonna copy them or anything but I would not be too surprised that they did also keep the headphone jack there even though it's gonna be released in 2019 and I really just think that these things are gonna be there as well just to keep the original form factor just to make it look very similar to the original iPhone se as well now do I think that the iPhone se 2 will have a full edge to edge display no I don't think there's any possible way that Apple would put an edge to edge display on a product like the iPhone se 2 especially since the iPhone 10 R exists and it's not even just that the iPhone 10 R exists as the fact the 10 R exists as a budget option they stepped down from the flagship models I think that we could see a bigger display and maybe smaller bezels but I think that we will still have the home button I don't think the display is gonna be that much bigger than it was on the original SC I just think that the iPhone 10 R is just not small enough for a lot of people so and it's definitely not cheap enough for a lot of people out there now a Chinese report did claim that the iPhone se 2 will have a similar design to the current iPhone se but it will have a larger 4.2 inch display now I could see the iPhone se to having a 4.2 inch display but I could also seeing it being a little bit bigger maybe like 4.7 inches like the iPhone 6 was now as for the internals and the performance of the iPhone se 2 I would expect it to have apples a 12 Bionic chip which is the same chips at found in the iPhone 10s 10s Maxx and the iPhone 10 R this would just go in line with the original iPhone se which had the internals of that year's flagship models the 6s and the 6s plus so it would not be surprising to see the SE 2 with the internals of the 2018 iPhones now the battery life was a big selling point for the iPhone se back in 2016 it has the best battery life of any iPhone so I think that in 2019 they're just gonna have to improve the battery size just a little bit maybe not too much but the fact that we are in 2019 means that you probably will need a slightly bigger battery so we may go from 1640 million powers to maybe 1700 or 1800 million powers I think that would be sufficient enough and I think we'd be in line for another great battery life iPhone even better than the iPhone 10 are we could also see a better camera on the iPhone se too I think we would have to have some kind of improvement to the camera maybe not much we'll probably still have a 12 megapixel camera maybe the same camera that we have on the iPhone 10 R I do think it's going to be a single lens I don't think we could have any kind of dual or of course not a triple lens on the SE 2 and I would imagine that the camera on the SE 2 would now support 4k 60 as opposed to 4k 30 like the original code now of course a lot of people have speculated that the iPhone 10 R is the iPhone se replacement and that we're never gonna see an iPhone se 2 apples just going to continue with the iPhone 10 our model but I don't think that's entirely true I mean most of the leaks and rumors that did come out about the iPhone se 2 did actually end up being the iPhone 10 are when it was released so a lot of people were confused but there were still some leaks out there that did indicate that an iPhone se 2 was in the works so I'm not really sure what Apple is doing or if they've just not started production yet on the iPhone se - it's really hard to tell at this point because again there haven't really been a ton of leaks or rumors and 2019 just yet but even if the iPhone R is supposedly the iPhone se replacement still 6.1 inches is too big of a screen for some people and again that $750 price tag is also too much for some people I think there's still a market for a smaller phone like an iPhone se - at a cheaper price point you know with maybe the older look to it I think that would still sell like hotcakes in 2019 I just think that it would be a huge success even if they only change very very few things I mean maybe just make a slightly bigger screen you know better internals and maybe a slightly better camera and it would sell like crazy only if the price is right so the original iPhone se started out at $399 for a 16 gig model and then went up to $4.99 for the 64 gigabyte bear yet but of course it's 2019 now we know the Apple is not going to sell any iPhone with only 16 gigabytes of storage and I don't even think they'd sell something with 32 gigabytes of storage so my money is on a 64 gigabyte base model of the iPhone se 2 and I would say that the 64 gig model would need to be $499 and then go up to maybe 128 or 256 for $5.99 I think $500 is the perfect price for the iPhone se 2 and 2019 I think that $250 difference between the SE 2 and the iPhone 10 are is just the finest just enough so that you can't really compare the two because the iPhone 10 R is gonna have that big display it's not gonna have a home button it's not gonna have a headphone jack and then you're gonna you know pay $250 less for a phone that does have a home button and doesn't have that great display doesn't have you know the headphone jack and things like that so I think it's a really good price to have the iPhone SE 2 and again it's a good price because it's $250 less but it's not gonna take away from the sales of the iPhone 10 R because they're still gonna be people out there that want that big screen and do not want a home one they want to use face ID and things like that now like I did mention earlier there have been a ton of leaks and rumors about the iPhone se 2 and there were especially a lot of them in 2018 but a lot of them had conflicting information and the reason for that is because at the time which was May 2018 production had not even begun yet poorly supposed at iPhone se 2 and since we've been running dry on leaks and for the iPhone se - that means the Apple is either not into production for this bone yet or they're just keeping everything under wraps really good for a surprise release here in March I just think that there are too many coincidences for Apple not to sell the iPhone se - and 2019 I mean we had the sporadic iPhone se clearance sale we have all these budget products coming out you know in late 2018 and into 2019 as well the iPad Mini the iPod Touch we have Apple realizing that people are upgrading and paying as much for phones anymore and also the fact that March would be the three-year anniversary of the iPhone se so yeah all of that combined just makes me think that an iPhone se 2 could actually be releasing here in 2019 but of course everything is pretty much speculative at this point so yeah I hope you guys did enjoy this video I think that the iPhone se would be an amazing product for Apple to revive and sell here in 2019 if you think so as well make sure hit that thumbs up button and of course make sure to subscribe for a lot more iPhone se 2 leaks and rumors videos I'm sure there are more coming because I don't think we've heard the end of this product just yet also make sure you guys leave a comment down below for what you would like to see in the iPhone se 2 and also if you ever owned an iPhone se yourself but yeah I'm gonna head out of here guys thanks again for watching the video and I'll see you soonwhat's up guys my name is Brandon and today we're gonna be talking all about the iPhone se - we're gonna be talkin rumors we're gonna be talkin my predictions and also
