The release of the iPhone SE (an acronym for Special Edition) was a strange decision by Apple last year. Smartphone with case
The smartphone sold well in the West, but sales reached a real peak in countries like India, where they sell it now for $ 300 (due to the fact that they make it there).

While everyone is waiting for the release of iPhone 8 on September 12,There were rumors that the updated iPhone SE will be released in early 2018, almost two years after the release of the first model. What should be the iPhone SE 2 to become a worthy competitor to other representatives of the iPhone line? Let's find out.
1. CPUApple A10 Fusion
As mentioned above, the original iPhone SEruns on an A9 processor. If the new iPhone models of 2017 will have the latest A11 processor, then it would be logical to use the A10 Fusion processor for iPhone SE 2 on both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. For example, the fourth-generation Apple TV was released along with the iPhone 6s in 2015 and worked on the A8 processor as on the iPhone 6, released a year earlier.
The A10 processor on the iPhone SE 2 would work just fine,since the phone will not have premium features like a high-resolution display or face recognition like on the iPhone 8. Thanks to the display with a resolution like on the iPhone 7, the A10 processor on the iPhone SE 2 could even improve its interface, as the A9 processor with the original model did. The A10 Fusion processor cannot be called weak: compared to the A9, it runs 40 percent faster and the graphics quality is 50 percent better.

In addition, this is the first quad-core processor.Apple, in which two main cores and two - to work in energy-saving mode. They automatically switch among themselves depending on the load. Two energy-saving cores consume only 20 percent of the charge from what they consume, and are used for tasks like viewing mail. iPhone SE is famous for its amazingly good battery life, and with the A10 Fusion it will get even better.
The original iPhone SE had 2GB of RAMmemory, and 3GB is currently only available on Plus models. Since the 4.7-inch iPhone in 2017 will also have 2GB of RAM, there is a very high probability that it will be the same on the small iPhone SE 2.

2. Cameras as oniPhone 7
IPhone 12 added a 12-megapixel cameralike on the iPhone 6s, so you can expect that on the iPhone SE 2018 they will add a new 12-megapixel camera with a larger aperture like on the iPhone 7. A larger aperture means that the camera can capture more light and, therefore, take better pictures even in imperfect conditions. The True Tone quad-LED flash like on the iPhone 7 should also migrate to the iPhone SE 2 and replace the True Tone dual-LED used on the previous model.
One of the best solutions for the company will beadd optical image stabilization. For the first time, Apple added technology to the iPhone 6 Plus, and two years later it received the iPhone 7. Optical image stabilization helps in two aspects: improved detail in photographs in poorly lit rooms and more stable video shooting.
As for the front camera, on the iPhone SEwas 1.2 megapixel, and on the iPhone 6s already 5 megapixel. It would be nice if the iPhone SE 2 added a 7-megapixel front camera like on the iPhone 7.
3. Improved display and 3D Touch(but it is not exactly)
One of the biggest differences between the iPhone SE and iPhone 6s was the lack of 3D Touch support. The technology provides quick access to the main elements of the interface.

On iOS 10, 3D Touch technology is maximizedimplemented throughout the system. Even many third-party applications use the feature. Today, iPhone SE is the only model that is actively sold, but does not support 3D Touch. This is not to say that without 3D Touch the iPhone will be considered obsolete. iOS 11 can be installed on the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone SE, although they all do not support 3D Touch. However, some functions still do not work on models without technology. It will not be easy to add the necessary details to a phone with a 4-inch screen, but without technology, the phone will look strange in 2018.
There is a very small chance thatThe resolution of 1136×640 pixels will be increased and the reason for this is the 4-inch screen. The only update may be the addition of support for a wide DCI-P3 color palette and the True Tone function, which adjusts the screen brightness to the level of illumination. But in terms of functionality, 3D Touch will bring more benefits than DCI-P3 or True Tone.
4. Touch IDsecond generations
Along with 3D Touch, the iPhone SE lacked andTouch ID sensor of the second generation. It was first added to the iPhone 6s, and it significantly increased the unlock speed of the device. On iPhone SE, the original Touch ID, which was introduced on the iPhone 5s. This update should not bring any difficulties.

Adding 3D Touch Support on iPhone SE 2one more door would open - adding the immovable home button. On the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the button does not move. The vibration motor responds to pressing, creating a feeling of pressing. How does this relate to 3D Touch? The same vibration motor is also responsible for creating unique vibrations when using 3D Touch. The immovable button would be a big plus, because It is stronger and able to work longer than mechanical.
The immovable button also helped make the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus waterproof and dustproof. However, it is likely that the company will leave these functions for more premium models.
5. Capacity batteries as at predecessor
The iPhone 5s had a battery with a capacity of 1560mAh. On iPhone SE, it was increased to 1624mAh. Despite the best toppings, the iPhone SE's battery life was much better than the iPhone 5s. This improvement was achieved due to the increased battery capacity and the new A9 processor.
iPhone SE 2 should keep the same goodduration of work, as with its predecessor. This will help achieve the A10 Fusion processor and energy-saving cores, along with increased battery capacity.
Apple may decide to remove the headphone jack,to leave more room for a battery, 3D Touch or a new camera. But due to the fact that the iPhone SE is considered a budget model, the lack of a connector is unlikely to appeal to potential buyers.
Conclusion
We believe that on iPhone SE 2, 2018 will addNecessary improvements: A10 Fusion processor, new cameras and a new Touch ID. With them, the small iPhone will be popular for the next few years. We would like it to also have 3D Touch with image stabilization, but it is unlikely that they will manage to keep the price as low.
