Of the three models that are so-called "second-generation iPhone X", the large 6.5-inch model and the 6.1-inch model adopting liquid crystals seem to be quite different in internal structure from the original iPhone X. Since the 6.1-inch model is a terminal with the purpose of capturing many iPhone users as a low-priced version, it is a cost-oriented design such as installing a general rectangular battery instead of an L-shaped battery arrangement like the iPhone X It is said that.

Also, Mr. Quo points out that the iPhone X release delayed several months from the iPhone 8/8 Plus also indicates that Apple does not have enough R & D resources inside the company.


And even if iPhone SE 2 is present in Apple's product roadmap, Mr. Kuo predicts, "There is little change". iPhone SE is expected to evolve into a bezelless design like iPhone X, but it does not have state-of-the-art features like Face ID and Wireless Charging feature, it will only be changed to a faster processor It is highly likely.

The iPhone SE currently sold by Apple is a terminal similar to iPhone 5s, it is a 4 inch small iPhone preferred by some users. Equipped with the same A9 chip as the iPhone 6s / 6s Plus, the memory (RAM) is 2GB, the main camera is 12 megapixel and the 3.5mm earphone jack is also attached. Of course, the Touch ID of the fingerprint authentication function is adopted as the home button. Since releasing it in March 2016, Apple has not renewed iPhone SE, but in March 2017 it added a 64GB model and a 128GB model, and in September 2017 the terminal price was $ 349 ( It is reduced to 39,800 yen in Japan).
