The iPhone 5S that was launched in 2013 came with a 4-inch display. Since then, Apple has been releasing large-sized iPhones. Last year, Apple had released a 4-inch iPhone SE (Special Edition) for those iPhone fans who prefer small-sized iPhones. Since it came with a low pricing compared to other bigger iPhones, it was well-received among Apple fans. Fresh information suggests Apple may release a second-generation edition of the iPhone SE in the first quarter of 2018.
In the previous month, a French publication had reported that the iPhone SE 2 would be debuting in this month. However, fresh information suggests that it may be true that the iPhone SE 2 is under works, but it won’t be releasing this year. Wistron, a Taiwanese contract electronics maker has been manufacturing the first-generation iPhone SE in India since May. The Taiwanese company plans to build a new assembling facility in Bangalore, India in order to increase the production by threefold over the next five years.
Industry insiders are of the view that Apple iPhone SE 2 will be made by built Wistron and its shipments will begin in India in the first quarter of next year. It is rumored to release first in India before it is released in other countries. The iPhone SE 2 is expected to be available with a cheaper pricing since it will benefit from 10 percent reduction in customs duty tax.
