14 DAY TRIAL // Apple is expected to take the wraps off a larger iPhone SE as soon as this year, and while some sources say the devices could see the daylight in the spring, others believe it would only go live in the second half of 2021.
New information published by @aaple_lab on Twitter indicates the larger iPhone SE could be called iPhone SE Plus and come with a 6.1-inch IPS display. In other words, it would be based on the iPhone SE, and by the looks of things, the device would also use a similar design.
In other words, the iPhone SE Plus would give up on the home button, instead going for the modern look with a notch at the top of the screen. In other words, there’s a good chance Face ID would also be offered, though this new leak suggests a surprise might also be prepared.
Touch ID in the power button
Face ID could thus be offered alongside Touch ID, as Apple doesn’t want to give up on the fingerprint reader on its new iPhone SE. But because there’s no home button to integrate the fingerprint sensor, the upcoming Touch ID generation would be embedded into the side button also used for locking and unlocking the smartphone.
iPhone SE Plus could be powered by either the A13 or the A14 Bionic chip, so in terms of performance, it’s likely to be on part with the 2019 generation of smartphones. The device could be offered in three colors, namely black, red, and white, with pricing to start at $499 in the United States.
It goes without saying this is just a rumor for the time being, so a healthy dose of skepticism is definitely recommended. More information will probably emerge in the coming weeks as we approach the expected iPhone SE Plus release date.
