Rumoured Apple iPhone SE 2 might be named the iPhone 9

Apple has been rumoured to be releasing a new version of the iPhone SE in the coming year. But instead of calling it the iPhone SE 2, it might be called the iPhone 9. At least, that is what's being reported by an "informed source" on Japanese blog Mac OtakaraThe report claims the design will be similar to the iPhone 8. It'll have a 4.7-inch display with Touch ID, A13 Bionic chip, and 3GB of RAM. But it wouldn't support 3D Touch.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts the iPhone 9 will cost around US$399 (around CA$529) for the 64GB variant. The phone might come in Space Gray, Silver, and Red.

After it was first announced in 2016 and discontinued last year, there have been whisperings about the comeback of the iPhone SE. Fanning the flames anew, long-time Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that iPhone SE 2 will return in the first quarter of 2020. And it'll have the iPhone 8's looks, but with a new Apple A13 processor. It'll reportedly run on iOS 13, and it'll also have 3GB of RAM and have a 4.7-inch screen. Pricing will supposedly start at US$699 (approx. CA$930).

The revival of the iPhone SE could signal that Apple is ready to drop the iPhone 8 line as well as encourage iPhone 6 users to upgrade. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus no longer support iOS 13. The new hardware with an "old school" iPhone look could entice them to switch.
