Iphone se next model. IPhone XS - review, reviews, price, where to buy. As you can see, the characteristics are quite modest.

IN live from Cupertino headquarters. Overnight, fans of "apple" products became aware of the characteristics of the iPhone SE, as well as the release date of the new "iPhone" in Russia and, importantly, its initial price.

Right during the presentation of the iPhone SE, digital observers began to note that the novelty outwardly de facto copies its "big brother" - the fifth generation iPhone. The characteristics of the iPhone SE, it seems, also did not really surprise gadget lovers. In view of this situation, the editors decided to look into the issue in order to understand whether it is worth buying a new one. Apple iPhone SE.

iPhone SE Specifications

First of all, refusing the fifth or sixth “iPhone” in favor of the iPhone SE, you need to be clearly aware of the advantages of the new product under the Special Edition marker (this is how Apple deciphered the mysterious abbreviation SE in the name of the new iPhone). Apple Presentation March 21 demonstrated that new gadget, despite its relatively small size (iPhone SE is equipped with a 4-inch display), performance is not inferior to previous models.

As is known, iPhone users quite often they turn to the camera of their gadget - the main "chips" and characteristics of the iPhone SE boil down to what the new product "can do" in this area:

• take better pictures with a 12-megapixel camera;
• shoot 4K video;
• create panoramas with a resolution of up to 63 megapixels;
• take "live photos";
• shoot high-quality day and night thanks to the two-tone flash.

Impressive? Of course it's impressive. But the “stuffing” of a miniature by today's standards gadgets is also very “delicious”.

As part of the presentation, Apple management noted the following data about the hardware:

• A9 processor;
• memory in the amount of 16 GB or 64 GB;
• first generation touchID sensor;
• powerful battery (up to 13 hours of continuous Internet surfing).

Thus, the iPhone SE is practically not inferior to the iPhone 6S, but there are still some differences. For example, the new gadget uses the first generation touchID sensor, while the "big brother" boasts a similar second generation sensor. In addition, the new "iPhone" does not implement LTE Advanced technology (LTE only), which provides the iPhone 6S with data download speeds of up to 450 Mbps (iPhone SE boasts speeds of up to 150 Mbps).

iPhone SE price in Russia

As part of the presentation, another factor was announced that deserves the attention of fans of newfangled gadgets - iPhone price SE. For many, the final cost of gadgets is often the most powerful argument in favor of buying, and here Apple company achieved significant success.

According to official data, the price of the iPhone SE will be $399 (27 530 - 28 329 rubles subject to currency fluctuations). Apple's management focused on the fact that the iPhone SE, despite its cool "stuffing" and wide functionality, became the most budget smartphone in the history of the "apple" corporation.

That is why it is worth taking a closer look at the iPhone SE model - in Russia, it is unrealistic to buy any other iPhone with such a set of functions for this money, experts state. And if you want to have a mini-6S in your pocket (almost the same functions, but relatively compact dimensions), then the attractive price suggests that Apple's new product is certainly worth buying.

iPhone Special Edition (SE) release date

According to the latest data, the release date of the iPhone SE in Russia has shifted slightly. As you know, the Russian Federation was among the countries of the second wave, where a technological novelty will appear. In India, according to the American corporation, the iPhone SE will go on sale April 8.

This means that the iPhone SE in Russia will also appear at the beginning of the second spring month. Pre-order for a novelty for citizens of the Russian Federation is already available in the official Apple online store.

The iPhone SE has proven to be such a success that its next generation is due out later this year, presumably at WWDC 2019. The upcoming smartphone should feature an edge-to-edge display in the style of flagship phones, but in a more compact body. Presumably, its diagonal will not exceed 4.8 inches.

The future device will be based on last year's A12 Bionic processor, which will likely be paired with 3 GB random access memory. In addition, the iPhone SE 2 will receive a single main camera similar to the iPhone XR, which will provide the ability to shoot in portrait mode, despite the absence of an additional telephoto module.

The most anticipated smartphone of 2020 is definitely the second generation iPhone SE. Despite the fact that the original model was quite specific and definitely not suitable for everyone in the first place because of the small display, the sequel from this shortcoming - at least in part - will be spared. Still, 4.7 inches, which the novelty should adopt from the iPhone 8, is much better than 4. On such a screen, you can already watch videos and play games with much greater comfort. But this is almost the only thing that the iPhone 8 will be similar to.

Despite the fact that the original was never a world bestseller, its sequel turned out to be perhaps the most talked about Apple smartphone in recent years. Still, because everyone wants to get a flagship device, and only a few agree to pay the full price for it. But if the first iPhone SE was some kind of experimental model that was not supposed to get a sequel, the second generation may well be made part of the main line, dubbed something like the iPhone 9 or so. But this does not mean that Cupertino will refuse to experiment in a future novelty.

Over the past few years, a range of branded Apple smartphones grew as fast as it had never grown before. Despite the fact that the company decided to remove conditionally affordable iPhone SE, having ceased its production, today there is still plenty to choose from. Here you have the ultra-affordable iPhone 6s, which can be found at a price of just over 15 thousand rubles, and the mega-profitable iPhone XR, which for 40 thousand rubles generally seems like a real gift, and ultra-expensive, which in the top configuration costs almost as much the same as the foldable Galaxy Fold. But Apple is not enough.

The iPhone update cycle, familiar to millions of fans around the world, necessarily includes such elements as analyst forecasts, which are sometimes built even two or three years in advance, opinions of “experts” on the feasibility of innovations, speculation of journalists and mandatory leaks. Approximately in this order the information appears. This happens from year to year and now it's time for the next cycle. next year. Let's understand what this promises us, is it worth it to rejoice and what will happen to 2.

16 inch Macbook Pro, a couple of weeks before that was considered a myth and a phantom, unexpectedly came out. The world, of course, was not shocked. Humanity has not lost sleep. But, albeit on a much smaller scale, something like this happened. It takes time to evaluate this event and its consequences, but one of the consequences is already obvious. Due to an astonishing set of circumstances, Taiwan's IT oracle's predictions are being taken much more seriously.

Apple plans to launch the iPhone SE 2 in mass production in January 2020 and will release the smartphone for sale at the end of March. Details about the characteristics of the novelty and its timing were shared by the well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who

The second generation iPhone SE will not be introduced this year. Inside are three iron arguments why this will not happen.

All arguments are not based on leaks, rumors or other stories. At the forefront is just logic. Cold, iron, the one you can't argue with.

Why did the iPhone SE come out?

Let's start simple. iPhone SE is a modified iPhone version 5S with hardware from the iPhone 6. The company had an old smartphone (5S), the production of which was established a long time ago, and entering the middle price segment was necessary in order to increase its share and earn additional money. In addition, many users did not want a larger screen.

As a result, the company did not need to re-equip production, it was enough just to add a bunch of ready-made components from the old building. As a result, in September 2016, we saw the iPhone SE. It was inexpensive to produce but gave the company excellent margins.

As a result, sales of the first generation iPhone SE flew far beyond the clouds into the stratosphere. And buyers who did not have the money to buy a flagship (or 7) finally got the coveted smartphone for relatively little money.

The situation has changed - there will be no iPhone SE

It's 2018 right now, a very different time from 2016, when Apple had a relatively slim vertical line of smartphones.

Therein lies the problem.

The first “es-yeshka” is already breathing its last and disappearing from store shelves.

The iPhone 6 is already a very old device, which is time to finally shoot. - an excellent pipe to sell as remanufactured in markets with little purchasing power (Russia, Brazil, India, etc.).

Thus, we are left with the only device - on the basis of which we could make the iPhone SE 2. However, if you look at the entire line of smartphones from Apple, taking into account those devices that will be presented in September, there is no point in creating a new SE.

Coming out in September new flagship- iPhone X2 or iPhone XXS, or iPhone XXS, or whatever they call it. iPhone 9, most likely, will not be presented, because the current top will perfectly take its place. Really! Releasing one smartphone for one year and re-equipping production for this business is an economic utopia and no one will do this. Yes, and not going to in general.

It will remain on the shelves and become a little cheaper, taking the place of the seven. But what to do with? Nothing special. The company will lower the price tag on it, the device will take up space and will sell just as well as before. Perhaps even better.

The vertical line below is closed by the iPhone 6s, which we talked about at the very beginning, and which will cost about 20-22 thousand rubles for our money.

And now the most important question.

Where in this slender price range to put the iPhone SE 2 that everyone is talking about?

No way.

Another theory

Romantics who make concepts in 3D editors have created such a miracle. Case from the good old iPhone 5S with a display in the entire front.

Look cool? Not that word.

And how much should such a device cost? Considering all the complexities of its production, on iPhone level 9. But, as we know, he will not be, because his place will be taken, which will fall in price and continue to be sold.

In addition, even if such a concept becomes a reality (no), it will kill sales of both the cheaper and second-generation iPhone X. People simply will not see the need to buy an expensive device, because a more affordable one looks very good.

Another argument against the release of the iPhone SE 2 is that users are already accustomed to the screen sizes increased to 4.7 and 5.5 inches. They take it easy new smartphone with a larger display and will not complain that they lack the usual 4 inches. It's not 2016 after all!

iPhone SE 2 release date

Another nonsense that is actively exaggerated in the media is the release date in May this year or early June.

But wait! How long ago did Apple release any mobile device May/June/July/August? I'll prompt. Never!

Updated MacBooks - yes, of course. Apple WWDC is a holy cause. However, at this event, they show new operating systems, announce new software chips and comb the line Mac computers. Considering that all Macs are still running on the 7th generation Intel processors(the 8th was announced back in the fall of 2017), then we are waiting for an early update of all or most of the computer line.

New cell phones? I beg of you!

There are arguments for the release of the iPhone SE 2? Let's discuss in the comments.

Editor's Choice

iPhone SE 2 - silent PR five-inch compact?

Is it really something new that is expected, or is the next intermediate modification waiting for the fans?

And will this brand new SE come out at all? So far we have only rumors. Here, let's start with them.

Rumors, rumors, rumors...

A few months ago, rumors about the release of the baby SE 2 seemed very implausible. Everyone shouted different things, giving their arguments.

For example, there was an opinion that the developers did not plan to release a four-inch in the foreseeable future at all.

Instead, they are actively chugging over the preparation of a couple of models, which should appear in September.

According to another version, the miniature one, which has already managed to please many, should still appear in an updated version, that's just, this slightly modified new model iPhone language does not turn to name.

According to some rumors, a four-inch flagship is expected without fail, and with a design modification for, and maybe 7, or even 8, who knows?

So, continuous contradictions! What to expect?

A little background

First, a little about the beloved compact iPhone SE.

Before we talk about why we should still expect an updated model in this series, let's remember the features of the first bird.

This is a four-inch, with a display resolution of 1136x640, a dual-core processor and a 12-megapixel camera.

In general, it has everything. But also all the disadvantages. There are complaints about confused memory access, problems with downloading applications, music, etc.

And yet, those who prefer miniature four-inch to shovels were delighted with the release of their beloved iPhone in this format.

So the model has already won its place in the flagship market.

Well, this is all the ancestor of the new iPhone SE 2. Now let's get down to business - let's talk about him.

Why iPhone SE 2?

Doubts away! Most likely, the new toy from Apple is the compact iPhone SE 2. Why all of a sudden such confidence? Let us rely on analysts who are closely following the registrations of the latest in the information cloaca of the EEC.

The fact is that the other two models expected in the near future from Apple are not yet preparing for mass production, but will be officially presented only in the fall. It will apparently turn out to be: iPhone X 2018 and iPhone X Plus 2018.

The whole focus of these analytical forecasts is simple.

All Apple novelties, before fluttering out of the nest into the big world, are subject to mandatory registration with the EEC.

There is a registration - wait for the presentation in about a month. Registered devices have always, without exception, been published.

And so, in April, some new iPhone projects from Apple were registered. This registration has repeatedly fired yet unpresented novelties of the company in the past, and burned it now.

In fact, the four-inch flagship initially fell out of the standard Apple release schedule.

This bird is spring. The iPhone SE 2 was registered with the Eurasian Economic Commission in March two years ago. Other iPhones are routinely registered in the fall. This one is special and is registered at a special time. So who, if not SE 2?

What will he be like? While the developers are silent, as if they got water in their mouths, experts, insiders and accessories manufacturers are making noise at all.

What will SE 2 look like?

Closer to May, new rumors spread. Now it’s not about whether the new SE will appear, but more about what exactly it will be.

Previously, it was assumed, basically, that it would be pumped from the inside, and the external design would remain the same, as unpretentious, slightly outdated as the first model of this series.

Why is that? Well, updating the specifications is a necessary thing, the technology race requires it. But a complete modernization is too confusing and requires a significant investment of time.

Everything is very confusing due to the fact that not a single leak comes from the manufacturers themselves. They are stubbornly silent. Why is that?

Does this mean that the release of a fresh compact is a fake? Well, taking into account the registrations and even the release permits received from the commission, it is unlikely.

Most likely, the company keeps its secret like the apple of its eye. Or teases his fans with an aura of mystery. After all, silence is also PR!

What kind of animal will this brand new four-inch that made so much noise?

There are other rumors floating around the net.

For example, some insider leaked that the compact car would indeed look like a six. Its body will be made of aluminum, it will be saponified in the corners.

In general, from the face it will become completely different from the first bird of the SE line. That is, a complete external modification of this baby is expected.

One of the experts even suggested that the brand new four-inch would be glossy black. So, it will copy the seven not only from the face, but also from the back of the head.

He lit up a render on the network, allegedly demonstrating the back panel of a future novelty.

Summarizing these conflicting opinions, we can say that they are divided into two groups: either the new flagship will be upgraded technically, equipped with new specifications, but will remain in old clothes, or it will be updated externally, combining modern design, new hardware and compactness already loved by many .

Most likely the second. Rumor has it that manufacturers generally plan to produce compact phones similar to older models.

In other words, the same, only small.

Are they that small? Will it new iphone equipped with a four-inch?

Or maybe 5 inches?

Weird question. It's a compact model! Why would he suddenly become five inches? According to the latest rumors, this is possible.

Of course, the companies that produce related trinkets for iPhones will also spoil. And their opinion is worth listening to. Who knows if not them?

The first leak that maybe new model will not be a four-inch appeared not thanks to manufacturers of related products.

Focus Taiwan on April 2 mentioned the screen size of the novelty. And it turned out that the diagonal could be 4.2 inches. At the same time, the previous size of the compact car will remain, due to the reduction of frames. What is a compact frameless iPhone?

But 4.2 is not the limit, as it turned out. There are also bolder predictions. Why not swing 5 inches?!

For example, Olixar is already promoting its protective films for future SE 2 screens.

The company believes that the future brainchild will visually copy the iPhone X model and at the same time will be similar to the original representative of the SE series. That is, accessories manufacturers are also already at a low start.

Perhaps Olixar is focusing on informational announcement leaks in the field of supply. The accessories maker is confident that the new iPhone will feature a bevel-top display like the X model, with a built-in camera and sensors. Well, let's see...

The well-known OnLeaks thinks in the same direction. He even lit up the appearance of the upcoming SE 2 by posting a number of photos on the Internet.

Is the new iPhone really going to be a compact five-inch?!

In his opinion, yes! Display to the maximum, and the frame to a minimum.

More recently, drawings have appeared on the Internet, according to which the new iPhone will be even smaller in size than the previous SE.

True, it is not known whether they are fake or genuine. Good decision if so. It will be just as easy to use and more! In this case, the fresh model will become really fresh.

So, perhaps the new four-inch compact will be five-inch! That's it!

Then, it is not surprising that the new product from Apple is so awaited. On the net you can see a lot of enthusiastic exclamations of fans of the brand and supporters of elegant minimalism.

Apple's compact 5-inch bezel-less! Still would!

What will be the filling?

And here Apple never ceases to amaze. It is possible that the new model will overtake its competitors among compact models here as well.

What kind of infa leaked to the Internet about the specifications of the new model?

According to preliminary, again, data not confirmed by manufacturers, iron will be pumped to the level of seven. This means that at the heart of the iPhone there will be a new processor - a 64-bit quad-core A10 Fusion.

The model will appear in two versions. The younger one has 2 gigabytes of RAM and 32 main memory. The older one has 2 gigabytes of RAM and 128 internal memory.

We see, it will be a real beast! If so, the iPhone SE 2 will be at the absolute forefront of compacts today.

Japanese blog Macotakara also sheds unverified light on some of the features of the alleged SE 2. It may happen that Apple this time again changes the classic traditions and refuses the standard audio port.

Everything is changing, and so is Apple! The seven was the first to be deprived of the usual connector, now a compact model. But, let's not get ahead of ourselves - these are just rumors.

3D Touch

Will the new leader among compact phones be equipped with another newfangled lotion - 3D Touch technology?

It would be nice. The original representative of the compact series did not have this bells and whistles.

3D Touch technology allows you to use different intensity of impact on the screen panel, setting the device different tasks.

Why did the predecessor lose this benefit. Perhaps the pricing policy influenced and Apple tried to make the compact more affordable.

Or, it was supposed to emphasize the merits and advantages of the full-screen movie released at the same time, that is, they worked for PR of another model. Who knows…

Will the new compact car actually be equipped with gadgets, or is it just a rumor? We'll see…

Will the battery be more powerful?

According to rumors, the new beast will be pumped to the full, but not to the full ... Its battery will not be much more powerful than that of its predecessor from this line.

The info was released by Focus Taiwan. If you believe these forecasts, the battery capacity will no longer be 1624 mAh, but 1700 mAh. They'll add a little and that's it.

There is no need to expect a special increase in operating time from a single charge. As it was two days, it will remain so. So to say, good, but not so long. It's a pity.

But, again, these are only forecasts of third-party observers, and not the manufacturers themselves. In addition, infa April, and rumors change every day.

According to rumors, SE 2 will also get wireless charger.

How much will it cost?

There remains one more important question: what will this new luxury toy be fused to?

And then nothing from the manufacturers. And according to rumors: a smaller version with 32 gigs of internal memory will cost about 400 bucks, and full version with a memory of 128 gigs will cost about $ 500.

It should be noted that many fans of the previous compact model noted that the high price for it was almost the only drawback of the beloved iPhone.

When will the new one appear?

Here everything is muddy and complicated. The presentation is expected in May.

There has been a lot of noise for a long time. The iPhone SE is a super popular model. And some are still tormented by doubts that an updated follower of SE 2 will be released. Why, if it sells so well?!

However, confirmations of spring registrations with the EEC stirred up a wave of hopes. Now many are convinced that the SE 2 will still be released, to the delight of compact fans, and will be released in June. Though the timeline may change.

Well, let's see... The wait is not so long.

The compact from Apple has gathered a lot of fans who are ready to buy updates to this series. And here Apple, by the way, is simply obliged to surprise.

After all, a minor upgrade external design, or a minimal upgrade of iron will not induce happy owners of the original version to purchase a new one.

From the iPhone SE 2 they are waiting for a step forward, and a serious step! This is probably one of the most anticipated of today's hyped phones.

It's too promising and hopefully it won't disappoint fans of compact iPhones!

We recently wrote that Apple will release a sequel to the iconic iPhone SE smartphone in 2018.

At the time of this writing, there was information that in fact Apple will not release the iPhone SE 2, but iPhone SE X and it literally excited the public.

Nevertheless, a few days ago it was difficult to say whether the device would appear at all, since everything was based on far-fetched rumors, guesses, fake photos and videos. That is, no certainty. Although users are waiting for the sequel. and requests to search engines show - iPhone SE 2 or iPhone SE X is in first place.

People are waiting, and demand, as you know, gives rise to supply. And what do you think, will the smartphone be born or not?

We hasten to please you nevertheless - iPhone SE 2 to be. Yes, yes, today we have become aware of perhaps the most truthful insider information. Manufacturers of accessories (!!!) made it clear that they are already waiting for the new product to appear on sale.

What will the iPhone SE 2 actually turn out to be: a complete copy of its predecessor or in the style of the iPhone X?

We read our preview and look at the pictures - you will be pleasantly surprised!

iPhone SE 2 - the latest news about the long-awaited smartphone

Typically, leaks regarding certain devices are spy photos or renders that are close to reality.

It is also common for accessory manufacturers to leak what they will be selling for upcoming smartphones.

If fakes or cancellations can be associated with renders and spy photos, when a manufacturer prepared one and released another, then this almost never happens with accessories manufacturers. Their information is 99% correct.

Cases, protective glasses, etc. are manufactured by companies some time before the official release of a particular gadget. Prepare accessories for non-existent devices with unknown dimensions.

As for the iPhone SE 2, it is worth saying that its release was just confirmed by the manufacturer of cases and glasses Olixar, demonstrating a protective glass for the novelty.

As it turned out, the iPhone SE will still become a kind of a copy of the iPhone X with a bezel-less design and a notch at the top of the screen.

It's crazy important information and it was around the display that recently there was only controversy.

The design of the novelty may turn out to be something between the first generation iPhone SE and iPhone X.

Apple decided to take the old case as a basis and screw a frameless screen onto it. The cutout in the screen will be such that it will fit the speaker, front-camera and Face ID face sensor.

In addition, there are even dimensions of the new protective glass for the iPhone SE 2, which are 121 x 55.8 mm. While the iPhone SE measures 123.8 x 58.6mm. This once again makes it clear that the dimensions of the novelty will not change, but the screen diagonal will increase to about 4.5-4.7 inches by reducing the frames.

That is, it makes no sense to buy an iPhone 7 or iPhone 8 with 4.7 inches.

The world will receive the most compact, and most powerful smartphone throughout the history of existence.

iPhone SE 2 - device specifications

We already did preliminary characteristics device and today nothing has changed in this regard - solid guesswork. However, there are not so many of them, because in fact the main unknown point is the processor: either the iPhone SE 2 will receive the year before last Apple A10 Fusion (most likely, this is in the iPhone 7), or last year and the current top Apple A11 Bionic.

One way or another, and even with the Apple A10 Fusion iPhone SE 2 in terms of power, it will be at the level of Android flagships of 2017 with Snapdragon 835 processors, and there’s nothing to add here, the new product will have more than enough power!

iPhone SE 2 - release date in Russia

Leaks are leaks, and something that is a really important indicator that the iPhone SE 2 2018 will still be released is a Twitter post from the famous insider Evan Blass. He didn't write anything, he just posted it on his wall. iPhone photo SE 2. However, this is more than enough to make sure that new items will appear soon.

Waiting for the iPhone CE 2 2018 is already on June 4, a little less than a month later at the Apple event, the WWDC 2018 developer conference.

According to preliminary data, the minimum price tag for the device will be more than $500 (about 40,000 rubles).

The predecessor costs about the same at the start of sales.
