Apple is planning to unveil a new iPhone SE with wireless charging in May or June, according to DigiTimes analyst Luke Lin.

For the entry-level sector, Apple is preparing a new inexpensive smartphone similar to the iPhone SE for 2018, featuring the wireless charging functionality, but not 3D sensing. The smartphone will begin mass production in the second quarter with the official launch in May or June, Lin noted.

Earlier this month, TrendForce also predicted that Apple would launch a second generation iPhone SE this year.

It's unclear if Apple will update the new modelwith an iPhone X style design but check out this concept to visualize what that might look like!

Pretty soon Apple will start releasing iPhones every two years rather each year...its costing them more to constantly deal with rising vendor costs and push so many different models of each ios hardware.

To me the single most important feature is some waterproofing. Not everyone works in a nice cozy office.

If their was something to forget about Liam in the first place, I would if it would test how it would take apart the 8/X because of removing certain parts just to access the actual part you want to replace, aside that though it is really too much trouble to just buy a protection case? It's overall cheaper and will save you, but considering the SE being released this year, we could either see a change in wireless charging or not a glass back, but will have wireless charging. Who knows at this point?

At least not yet. Some ideas take their time to execute. I'm not giving up the thoug and potential Liam can do (that maybe it hasn't done yet).

The SE needs a better camera more than any other feature.

Yes! Amd a headphone jack. No wireless charging. No 3D-touch. Good touch-id rather than face-id and a iPhone 5 body design rather than iPhone 6-8 design... that would be great!

The headphone jack mention just made this contradictory.

If this is true, then that must also mean a 4" Retina HD display, water resistance, and maybe a fire touch home button considering the form factor stayed the same like the 5s the first time SE was unveiled.

Not necessarily, all they could do is add the wireless charging and put the 8/8 /x processor in it, kinda like for the first SE the only thing they upgraded was the 12mp camera and the processor, everything else was basically the same as the 5s
