Other iPhone 9 / SE 2 Delayed?

iPhone 2020, perhaps?
I think iPhone SE2 is still the best option though. It makes sense (old design+newest specs, since SE was 5s design with 6s specs and this will be 8 design with 11 specs)

You've not donated ****. You're just a keyboard warrior.
I’m not a warrior, I just had a hard time swallowing some of the attitudes in this thread in the midst of world events. Who gives a **** if there is a new phone coming out shortly. I probably should have not posted that, but what’s done is done. And yes, there is a family down the street that I helped because they lost their job, and I haven’t yet. That is a donation. Turns out you are the warrior now.
Less than 1/2 an inch smaller on the height is significant? Oh okay then.
I get where you're coming from, but the person I quoted stated he/she wants to get the new model (whatever they'll call it), to use for activities instead of using their 6.1 inch phone. I'm assuming they have either the XR or the 11 if it's an iPhone. I was simply asking my question because the size of the new model will only be slightly smaller.

You think that coming on here to escape the reality of what's going on in the world, even just for a few minutes, thinking about something positive is a bad thing? Maybe people use the thought of a new phone or listening to music or even just chatting with like minded people online because they're locked down as their version of therapy to get through tough times. Everyone deals with these things in their own way, who are we to criticize???

Uh yeah, 1/2" is quite large difference in size for something the size of a phone.
Yes, for something the size of a phone that IS significant. It is 39.4% bigger and 31.1% heavier than the 8. (48.5% and 50.4% from the iPhone 6 as the 8 grew from the 6). It makes a big difference in being able to use one handed, for people with smaller hands and for people without room to carry/store it.
I don't understand what guys like you are trying to accomplish? People are quarantined now so they have to occupy their mind somehow.
Whether thats TV, netflix, video games OR discussion new technology. WHERE'S the HARM?
It's ironic that they find the time to post in forums about electronic consumer devices, just to say we shouldn't be spending time on electronic consumer devices.
Sorry, are people not allowed to have interests anymore due to the pandemic? Take your grandstanding somewhere else.
this should be at USD 399 anything more than that seems beyond a reach given that unemployment is at the peak today
Funny, I was thinking the same thing just now talking about this phone with a co-worker. I'm thinking that would have likely been leaked if that was the case, but who knows.
Qualcomm CEO would have bragged about it if so. Besides, this is a low-cost iPhone and Apple would need to qualify a new LTE modem they've not used before. Intel almost certainly won the SE2 socket.
With the quarantine, having reliable phones and mobile devices is especially important now with a lot of people practicing social distancing and telecommuting.
Besides, if the economy outside of essentials grinds to a screeching halt, that just means more job loss. As far as I'm aware, Apple is one of the companies giving their employees paid leave during this pandemic so kudos to them for that.

I can't remember if the 2017 basic iPad was a silent release. That was a good seller though. iPad sales were down YOY and that stemmed the bleeding.
However, retail operations are pretty much down right now (unless it's food, TP and other household essentials). That's bound to put a damper on things.

How dare people think or talk about anything but death and devastation for the next 12-18 months! Unacceptable!

So far, everything about the SE2 delay suggests a capacity issue with after sales support.
Bloomberg: Apple asks retail store employees to temporarily become remote technical support staff.
Prosser: Apple is shipping iMacs to select retail employees who are being asked to work remotely.
Worst case is, SE2 is pushed out another week. Retail staff need time to be trained to handle support requests.
No mention of the Plus, that’s disappointing.Exclusive: iPhone 9 launch imminent, 2020 'iPhone SE' in red, white, and black with up to 256GB - 9to5Mac

The naming will infuriate some SE diehard fanboys, i.e. those who insist SE stands for small form factor, when it clearly implies low-cost. 😄
I’m pretty sure Apple explicitly cited both small size and low cost when introducing the original SE.
SE has always stood for Special Edition.
It’s not what many wanted size wise, but the rumoured small 12 model later this year will take care of those customers.
A budget phone with a decent camera, improved battery and updated internals and colour choices will sell very well in this climate, compared to a 1k+ priced device.
Here’s hoping it’s tomorrow or soon at the very least!

I’m starting a new job in the next few months (already been delayed once because of Covid...) and have just read that I’ll need to buy a handset for work instead of being provided one directly. Suddenly a lot more interested in this launch. Especially if there’s a Product Red version!
