After several years of rumors, Apple put it back on the market a 4-inch screen device, iPhone SE, a device that for many years had been the ideal size to be able to interact with it with one hand, but that had become too small for many users, since the main use they made of it was, and continues to be, to consume content .
Since 2016, Apple has not made any moves related to a second generation of this modelAlthough there have been many rumors that throughout the past year, the Cupertino-based company planned to launch the second generation. Once the year has ended, we have seen how those rumors were not true, so now they place the renewal in the first half of 2018.
The latest rumors come from a TrendForce analyst, who claims that the iPhone SE will hit the market with the same aesthetic but inside we would find the processor that currently integrates the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, the A11 Bionic. The annual sales estimates for the iPhone SE, Apple has never broken down sales figures by model, it covers the range of users who want a powerful but manageable smartphone with one hand.
According to the figures for Apple's mobile device activations this Christmas, in the period from December 19 to 25, the iPhone SE was in last position, below models with older hardware such as the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, so the demand, despite existing, seems to be what the company expected, so they are in no hurry to renew this model every year, as if it happens with its flagship.
The current design of the iPhone, is based on the Ipod touch of 5 and 6 gen, if they made the new iPhone SE with the size and design of the aforementioned ipods, it would be a great boom, personally I have dreamed of something like that since i saw the 5g ipod touch.
