Alleged iPhone SE 2 screen smiles for the camera

For some months now, fans of Apple's tiniest smartphone — the iPhone SE — have been wondering if there will be an upgrade available for them. An alleged iPhone SE 2 has popped up in various rumors now and again, but Apple has shown no intention of launching such a device, at least not for now.

The latest from the rumor mill suggests that there will be an SE 2 with an all-screen front and a notch with Face ID — much like the iPhone X, but in a smaller form.

Yesterday, case maker Olixar shared some images with schematics showing the iPhone SE 2's shapes. Today, we get to see an actual photo of what looks like an iPhone's display part... and the leakster suggests it's of the iPhone SE 2.



Found on Chinese social media website Weibo, the two photos show a shiny part with the signature shape of the iPhone X's screen. The caption, with which the photos are shared, reads "I will not tell you this is the screen of the iPhone SE 2", which... you know, kind of suggests that it is.

Either that, or it's a part from a clone-maker's factory or even a part of one of the bigger iPhones. It's pretty much impossible to tell what the exact size of the piece is from these photos. What we are saying is — take this with a humongous boulder of salt. But, for those of you that hope the iPhone SE 2 to really exist — there's still hope!
