Apple is rumoured to launch the iPhone SE 2 during the WWDC. Ahead of the launch, several leaks and rumours have appeared online, which hint at the design and specifications. The latest leak has appeared online which reportedly shows of the upcoming device.
Based on the video posted by Chinese video-sharing website Miaopai and redirected to YouTube by Macotakara, the iPhone SE 2 will sport a similar design to the previous iteration, the iPhone SE. However, the new iPhone will include a glass-back design. This hints at the fact that the iPhone SE 2 may include a wireless charging technology and support for Qi wireless charging. Additionally, it might also sport a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
In the past, Digitimes Research analyst Luke Lin stated that the company was preparing a new inexpensive smartphone similar to the iPhone SE for 2018, featuring the wireless charging functionality, but not 3D sensing. The smartphone was to begin mass production in the second quarter with the official launch in May or June.
Apple’s iPhone SE 2 might also launch as an India-exclusive this year, points out a new report. According to the source Tekz24, the iPhone SE 2 will be manufactured and assembled in India, unlike other Apple devices which have been manufactured in China by Foxconn. GizmoChina points out that the reason could be that India has import tariffs on hi-tech products, and this could make the company competitive with local phone makers.
The new iOS 12 will feature an mproved, more advanced version of Apple’s ARKit augmented reality platform as well. “As part of new software called "ARKit 2.0" internally, the company has been planning a new mode that would let users play AR games against each other in the same virtual environment”, mentioned Bloomberg.
