Apple is said to launch the iPhone SE second generation in the first half of 2018 according to Taiwan’s Economic Daily News. The second generation iPhone SE, tentatively named iPhone SE 2 will be assembled exclusively by Taiwanese manufacturer Wistron at its factory in Bengaluru, India where the current generation iPhone SE are being made.
The iPhone SE 2 new rumors release date falls in line with the previous reports from ‘Focus Taiwan’ who back then claimed that the new iPhone SE would start shipping in the first quarter of 2018 which is from January to March. The current iPhone SE was launched back in 2016 in March and went on for sale a month later. Taking the cue from the previous launch, the new SE 2 might be announced around the same time.
According to the earlier reports, the iPhone SE 2 is said to be powered by the Apple’s A10 Fusion chipset, 2GB RAM with 32GB and 128GB storage capacities. A 12MP rear camera, 5-megapixel front camera, and a slightly larger 1,700 mAh battery. These are just rumored specs; the official specifications might vary once the company makes it official.
Apple didn’t refresh the current SE model, it just doubled the storage from 64GB to 128GB in March and had even slashed the pricing of it.
