<p class="gray small byline"> By <a href="https://appleinsider.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#c5a8acaea0bca6a4a8b5a7a0a9a985a2a8a4aca9eba6aaa8">Mikey Campbell</a> <br /><span class="gray">Tuesday, January 21, 2020, 05:31 pm PT (08:31 pm ET)</span> </p>
<p> <span><span class="article-leader">Adding to a raft of rumors surrounding a low-cost iPhone model tentatively dubbed “iPhone SE 2,” a report on Tuesday claims the hotly anticipated iPhone SE-tier follow-up is going into production next month. <br /></span></p>

<div class="article-img"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/apple-to-launch-new-affordable-iphone-model-in-march.jpg" alt height="368" class="lazy" data-original="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/apple-to-launch-new-affordable-iphone-model-in-march-1.jpg"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/apple-to-launch-new-affordable-iphone-model-in-march-1.jpg"></div>

<p>Citing sources familiar with the matter, <em>Bloomberg</em> reports Apple suppliers are <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-01-21/new-low-cost-iphone-said-to-enter-mass-production-in-february">slated to begin</a> manufacturing the as-yet-unannounced affordable iPhone variant in February ahead of a public debut in March. </p>
<p>Apple last launched a handset aimed at the mass-market with the iPhone SE <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/16/03/21/apple-announces-4-iphone-se-with-a9-cpu-same-design-as-iphone-5s-starting-at-399">in March 2016</a>. That model borrowed a design from iPhone 5s, which was two years old at the time, and packed it with then-current tech including an A9 processor and a 12-megapixel camera. The model was priced at $399. </p>
<p>The tech giant is expected to follow a similar strategy with “iPhone SE 2.” According to analyst predictions, the upcoming handset is anticipated to <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/06/17/2020-lte-iphone-coming-in-54--and-67-inch-sizes-61-inch-iphone-lte">share an external design</a> with iPhone 8, currently the cheapest iPhone offering at $449. A 4.7-inch screen is also expected, as is the inclusion of a Touch ID home button for biometric authentication and user interface navigation. </p>
<p>Like iPhone SE, the next-generation low-cost iPhone is rumored to boast Apple’s <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/10/03/iphone-se-2-not-dead-but-wont-be-the-same-size-as-the-original-says-ming-chi-kuo">latest processor technology</a>, the A13 Bionic, as well as current-generation camera technology. </p>
<p>A number of trade industry publications have speculated on Apple’s 2020 iPhone roadmap, with some claiming the company might launch <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/01/02/two-iphone-se-2-models-could-launch-in-2020">two low-cost models</a> in 2020. Noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested Apple is indeed developing a larger-screened “iPhone SE 2,” but intends to <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/12/05/four-5g-iphone-12-models-in-2020-iphone-se-2-plus-in-2021-coming-says-ming-chi-kuo">release the handset in 2021</a>. Other rumblings suggest Apple is working on an “SE 2” variant <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/01/13/rumor-apple-developing-iphone-se-2-variant-with-face-id-54-inch-screen">with full-face display and Face ID</a>, though the validity of those assertions are shaky at best due to prohibitive production costs. </p>
<p>Hon Hai, Pegatron and Wistron have been tapped to assemble the next-generation affordable iPhone, according to today’s report. </p>
