    If the SE2 is real, it'll have an A11, not an A10.

    When the SE came out, it shipped with Apple's latest/best chip, the A9. When the 2015 iPod Touch came out, it featured Apple's latest/best chip, the A8. The pattern is pretty clear — when Apple releases a new product that isn't intended to be on an annual update schedule, they use their best tech, it's going to have a long shelf life.
    Never going to happen.  It is in the budget phone category, meaning lower cost, cheaper components and that signature of the SE model.  Ever mid-school children avoid have this  SE iPhone.
    What an ignorant comment.  It's about market differentiation, and price. It costs no more to make the A11 than the A10.  In the long run, it may cost more to keep the A10 production line open instead of simply switching to a more universal chip.  Also, think -- do you really believe it costs apple $100 more to put 32GB more RAM in your iPhone, or is it just Apple milking the system through differentiation to max out profitability and market share?
