Apple marketing names are perhaps the most protected component of new iPhones, so we’ve used two nicknames to reference the rumored iPhone 8 replacement so far: iPhone SE 2 and iPhone 9.
According to, 9 to 5 Mac has learned, Apple will simply call the new entry-level model “iPhone SE” while referencing the new hardware as the 2020 version.
Apple originally used the iPhone SE marketing name for the 4-inch model that use the iPhone 5s body with the camera and processor from the iPhone 6s.

It will be available in black, white and red, and will come with 64, 128 and 256 GB of storage. The phone is expected to use Apple's A13 processor, the same chip found in the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Plus.
The tech giant will also be aiming to convert Android phone users who see iPhone's cost as a prohibitive factor.
It might make sense for Apple to launch its cheaper model now. The tech giant is reportedly weighing up a delay of its expected 5G iPhone, which will likely cost in the region of $1,000.
On the other hand, Apple is thought to be worried that people's finances will be too straitened during the coronavirus pandemic, sinking demand for a pricey phone, according to the Nikkei Asian Review.
The new iPhone SE is expected to have the same design as the iPhone 8, although battery life should much improved with the removal of 3D Touch, a special feature on older iPhones.
Also new to the 2020 iPhone SE compared to the iPhone 8 that it replaces: Express Card and future CarKey support.
