The next iPhone SE will reportedly look like an iPhone 8, but it’ll be as fast as the iPhone 11

Product Red iPhone 8
The rumored iPhone SE 2 is back in the news after Ming-Chi Kuo, an Apple analyst with a reliable track record, recently stated that Apple will purportedly launch the phone in early 2020. While previous iPhone SE 2 rumors have been scattered, this release window, along with other details regarding its supposed design from Kuo (via 9to5Mac), corroborates a recent report from Nikkei that echoes similar information.
The successor to the 2016 iPhone SE may look more like an iPhone 8 than an iPhone 5, Kuo predicts, which would give a more modern look to Apple’s small, midrange phone. Should it absorb that design, some older iPhone features will be sticking around a little longer, like its Touch ID fingerprint sensor and thick top and bottom bezels. Last month, Bloomberg reported that Apple’s next low-cost iPhone would resemble the iPhone 8 and feature Touch ID.
On the topic of performance, Kuo indicates that this 2020 device might feature an A13 processor and 3GB of RAM — more or less matching what’s in the iPhone 11. This could be a powerful little phone, two descriptors that I know a lot of people (myself included) desire in a smartphone and are currently underserved. It just won’t be quite as small and friendly to one-handed use as the iPhone 5-style SE was.
One thing that’s not yet clear about the new device is its price. The main draw of the original iPhone SE was its $399 price, which helped Apple reach customers who didn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars more on a flagship phone or who couldn’t afford to. But with Apple’s latest hardware said to be heading to the next iPhone SE iteration, color me skeptical that it will debut at the same price.
Early last year, Kuo claimed that the iPhone SE 2 wouldn’t see a release, or at least it wasn’t in the cards for a 2018 launch. That wasn’t the final word we heard on the device that year, but things got quiet. It’s hard to tell at this point if it will release, but the rumors seem to be converging on key details, so we may hear more soon.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
