Rumored 'iPhone SE 2' shown off in new renders and video
A previously reliable source has released a series of images and a 360-degree video showing a render of what they believe the "iPhone SE 2" will look like.

Designs for Apple's heavily rumored successor to the iPhone SE, a budget phone variously known as the "iPhone SE 2" or sometimes the "iPhone 9," has allegedly been leaked. The renders come from OnLeaks, a source that correctly predicted the iPhone 11 Pro's triple camera system.
The OnLeaks Twitter account links to full details and all of his leaked renders on igeeksblog.
That site, using information from OnLeaks, says that the forthcoming budget-price device will be released in the first half of 2020. It claims that what it calls the "iPhone 9" will be almost exactly the same design as the iPhone 8 with a 4.7-inch screen and a single-lens camera bump.
The details in the leak are exact enough that the publication can claim that this new model will be 7.8mm thick instead of the 7.3mm of the iPhone 8.
The naming of the device as "iPhone 9" seems unlikely, but it has previously been reported by other sources.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has said that the phone will go into production in January 2020 and be launched at the end of March.
Kuo also reports that the phone will resemble the iPhone 8, and expects Apple to sell between two and four million of them. Other analysts are predicting similar success.

huge size, camera bump, not full screen, no Face ID... what am I gonna do when my SE gets too long in the tooth?????
how hard would it have been to just put an edge to edge display and Face ID in an SE chassis? or at least give us the iPhoneX body with the better screen if we're going to have to have a bigger device. hrumph.
edit:: And they're still selling the 8... sooo are they going to discontinue that when they release the "9" or whatever it's going to be branded? why not just fill in th.... whatever I'm done thinking about it.
A virtual kickstand to hop over to the competition
The 2020 line up is likely:
iPhone Classic $399 64 GB, ($449 128 GB) A13
iPhone XR $499 A12
iPhone 11 $599 A13
iPhone 12, 5.4 inch $649 A14
iPhone 12, 6.1 inch $749 A14
iPhone 12 Pro, 6.1 inch $999 A14
iPhone 12 Pro Max, 6.7 inch $1099 A14
Still, there's nothing wrong with rolling out some high quality Apple products that expand the buying choices for NEW products. Even though the n-1 and n-2 iPhones that stay in the store beyond their freshness date are still very good values, they're still last year or two years prior phones and all the excitement confetti for those models is already on the floor. I do think they should aim for the $399 target price with the SE2, which may be why the iPhone 8 rather than the iPhone XR may be the basis for the new SE, if there is going to be one.
It would also be a relatively easy toe dip into the Apple mobile world for current Android users.
If true, and along with a spring release, it could work. Worth a try in my book.
About done with iPhones:(
Plus the notch is part of the visual identity of Face ID. I don't think Apple would make a phone with Face ID but without the notch for maybe four more years (six years after the introduction of the notch).
