The rumored handset will pack a 5.4-inch screen into a case close in size to that of the iPhone 8, which itself was just over 5.4 inches tall. A 5.4-inch display would be a notable improvement over the so-called “iPhone SE 2’s” predecessor, as both iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 featured 4.7-inch LCD screens.
MacDailyNews Take: Here’s a good strategy for Apple: Make so many prototypes that the rumor mill goes into overdrive and only emits confused gibberish. Whatever it is, just don’t call it “iPhone SE 2” unless it carries physical dimensions very close to iPhone SE’s 123.8 mm (4.87-in.) x 58.6 mm (2.31-in.) x 7.6 mm (0.30-in.) at 113 g (4.0 oz.).
I like MDN’s point 😏 OR… Maybe Apple puts “fake rumors” out there (in a systematic way) to determine the source of harmful leaks 🧐
