A new iPhone concept envisions a cheaper modern iPhone

Apple was originally expected to launch a new iPhone as soon as this year, but as it turns out, the plans have changed and we might have to wait a little bit longer to get our hands on this device.

But YouTuber The Hacker 34 has created a concept to envision this new modern iPhone SE, and while we won’t comment too much on what the eyes can see anyway, it’s pretty unlikely to happen.

The concept looks good and envisions a 6.1-inch display with several upgrades in key areas, including a new camera, but according to people familiar with the matter, this isn’t necessarily what Apple has in mind for the iPhone SE.

The new iPhone SE

First and foremost, let’s see why the device no longer launches this year. Originally scheduled to land in the spring of this year, the new iPhone SE is believed to be pushed back for a 2022 release, so in theory, the device should be here in approximately one year.

The reason is as simple as it could be: Apple has launched an iPhone mini with a 5.4-inch screen, so having another small model on the market could eventually cause the two devices to cannibalize each other.

However, there are mixed reports on what the next iPhone SE could bring to the table.

While some people originally projected that the device would come in the form of an iPhone 11, it looks like Apple still favors the iPhone 8 design for the upcoming model too. In other words, it would still sport a 4.7-inch with a Home button and integrated Touch ID, pretty much just like the current iteration.

Of course, everything can change by the time the iPhone SE sees the daylight, so take everything with a pinch of salt for now.
