The iPhone SE is great, but it just makes me want an iPhone SE Plus a little more
I've spent much of the last few weeks reporting on the Apple iPhone SE, and while it's reassuring to see the company embrace its cheaper iPhone, there's one thing I'm desperate for; A bigger screen. The new iPhone SE has the same 4.7-inch screen size that we saw using from the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 8. There's definitely a market for this screen size — Apple wouldn't be making this device if there wasn't one, but I want a combination. accessibility and a larger screen. This could happen eventually, with leaks suggesting an iPhone SE Plus is in the works. Jon Prosser, a tech analyst who has always been right about Apple leaks in recent months, has hinted that news about the iPhone SE Plus is likely to come soon. That being said, another trusted analyst has suggested that we may not see the iPhone SE Plus for a long time. The latest report from Ming-Chi Kuo suggests it could even be delayed into the second half of 2021. That's a long time to wait, especially for those looking to upgrade their phones from older devices. From two to four years.

You should know about the iPhone SE Plus soon. ? April 18, 2020 If the 2021 release date is true, that's a shame for anyone who wants an affordable iPhone. This is especially the case if you are someone who wants a bigger phone that has all the benefits of iOS. There are still options if you're looking for an affordable iPhone with a bigger screen, but the iPhone SE Plus will almost certainly beat them in terms of specs and even value. First, you can choose the 8-inch iPhone 5.5 Plus. It's a hard phone to recommend to anyone buying in 2020, as the specs are starting to look a bit dated, it was unveiled in 2017, and the price is still relatively high considering that. Another option is the iPhone XR. It was Apple's slightly more affordable model of 2018. It has a 6.1-inch screen, but again it offers a slightly lower specification than we'd expect from a potential iPhone SE Plus. The iPhone SE has a high-end Aion Bionic chipset, which essentially allows it to have similar power to an iPhone 11. If an iPhone SE Plus were real, it would likely have the same chipset and thus be more powerful than the two. iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone XR.

The iPhone XR (Image credit: TechRadar) You may think that a bigger screen will drive up the price of the device, but Apple can keep the cost of the device below $500, even with a bigger screen. The iPhone 11 Pro (the company's latest 5.8-inch phone) launched at $999 / £1,049 / AU$1,749, while the iPhone 11 Pro Max (its 6.5-inch sibling) costs $1,099 / £1,149 / AU €1,899. That's a $100 / £100 / AU$150 price difference. These two phones don't differ much except for their size and the battery used to power them. I'd expect it to be a similar (or maybe even less) price difference for an iPhone SE Plus, and if that's the case, we'll always see it starting at just under $500.

It will happen?

So will there be an iPhone SE Plus? Rumors suggest that it is a device that the company has in development, but it would be a bit irrelevant for Apple to reveal an iPhone SE Plus later that it has already released a new iPhone SE. The original plan may have been to have two aircraft, but production was interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. If so, Apple may have shelved the idea of ​​a bigger phone. My dream of a bigger, more affordable iPhone may be all but dead; Only time will tell. All in all, it's great to see that Apple has re-embraced the affordable end of the market again. I just want to have more affordable options than the only small device, and an iPhone SE Plus would be the perfect way to do that.
