iPhone 9 with iPhone 8-like design, iPhone 11-like hardware launching in March: Report 

Apple will launch its highly anticipated low-cost iPhone SE 2, or iPhone 9, in March 2020, according to a new Bloomberg report. This also falls in line with long-time Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s predictions. report ds that Apple will start mass production of this low-cost iPhone in February.  Hon Hai Precision Industry, Pegatron Corp. and Wistron Corp will reportedly be manufacturing partners. 

Rumours that iPhone SE 2 is in development have been going around since 2017 but two years down line, Apple is yet to make any sort of anuncement. But things may change soon. 

Kuo has me several or predictions with regards to iPhone SE 2. iPhone SE was launched with an iPhone 5-like design with core hardware of iPhone 6S. idea was to offer a smaller, more affordable iPhone for developing markets like India. Kuo has predicted that iPhone SE 2 will have a design similar to  iPhone 8, but it will pack Apple A13 processor – which is also found inside iPhone 11. This means that iPhone SE 2 could be launched with an iPhone 8-like design with core hardware of iPhone 11. 

Bloomberg report ds credence to se predictions while also confirming one more technical aspect of iPhone SE successor. According to report, iPhone SE 2, or iPhone 9, will come with Touch ID for biometric auntication, again like iPhone 8, and t fancy Face ID tech we see in newer iPhone models. 

iPhone 8 is w in dire need for a phase out. It is most affordable iPhone that Apple sells in many markets and refore a refresh – vis a vis a hardware – will be a nice touch. That's t case in India though. iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are t most affordable iPhones that you can get though – Apple is also continuing to sell iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in India. 

As per Kuo, Apple will launch iPhone SE 2 at a starting price of $399 which roughly translates to Rs 28,500. This means, iPhone SE 2 should ideally arrive in India – should it arrive in India – at a price of around Rs 40,000, going by how se things usually work.
