Apple’s next phone may be the iPhone 9

For a while now rumour mills have been churning about the probability of Apple launching an affordable iPhone. Renowned tipster and Apple analyst Ming Chi-Kuo recently said that a budget iPhone will arrive in first half of 2020. And now a new report from Macotakara states that this budget iPhone will be called iPhone 9. The rumoured name so far has been iPhone SE 2 as it is expected to be on the lines of iPhone SE which was launched in 2015.
However, the Macotakara report quotes an ‘informed source’ and states that, “it would be possible iPhone SE2, that is said to be launched spring, 2020, as iPhone 9.” Back in 2017 when Apple launched the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, it launched the 10th anniversary special edition, iPhone X, and hence giving iPhone 9 a complete miss. So, it may be the case of naming the new smartphone, iPhone 9 as it is expected to be on the lines of iPhone 8 in terms of size and design. These, however, are still rumours and nothing has been officially confirmed by Apple.
