4-inch iPhone
If you’ve read some of our past iPhone coverage, you probably know that we’re likely going to see an “iPhone SE 2” release pretty soon. But despite that popular nickname, the upcoming low-cost iPhone isn’t going to be an iPhone SE at all. It’ll basically be an iPhone 8 with updated internals (which is why we like the iPhone 9 moniker better).
That’s a shame because nobody has been calling for the iPhone 8 to be refreshed. Apple’s 4-inch handsets may feel a bit antiquated in today’s age, but there’s no doubt that the size is still incredibly popular. Smartphones these days are too big for some users, and many others just prefer smaller and more portable devices.
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel in the form of this year’s rumored 5.4-inch handset. But fans of smaller iPhones have been clamoring for a device in the same footprint as an iPhone SE with a modern overhaul. Given the right price, that device may just end up giving the entire iPhone lineup a significant boost.
