If Apple offers a trade-in for my iPhone 8, I'll definitely upgrade.
Tired of deleting stuff due to me not having available space. Will go
for a 256GB model.

Everything known about the 2020 'iPhone SE'
By Mike Peterson Friday, April 03, 2020,
The launch of the so-called 2020 "iPhone SE," largely expected to be
an updated iPhone 8-style device, is imminent. Here's what's been
discovered about the subject of rumors for the last three years. The
'iPhone SE' is expected to have a design basically the same as the
iPhone 8. While rumors about a low-cost iPhone refresh have been
circulating for years, it now appears that Apple will debut the device
in early 2020. Here's everything that's been discovered about the
upcoming 4.7-inch iPhone. The 'iPhone SE 2' at a glance According to
the latest rumors and leaks, here are some key points about the
"iPhone SE. The same footprint as the 4.7-inch iPhone 8 footprint
Latest-generation A13 chip and 3GB of RAM 64, 128 and 256GB storage
variants Retain a Home button with Touch ID Retail as low as $399
Larger 5.5-inch "iPhone SE Plus" model at some point 'iPhone SE 2'
design Despite the now possibly confirmed "iPhone SE" moniker, the
device is more likely to be a spiritual successor to the iPhone 8
instead of the popular 4-inch form factor. At this point, that
4.7-inch footprint is so likely that case makers are already going
all-in on the size. In late March, cases for an affordable iPhone
8-style device began arriving at Best Buy . There may also be a larger
version of the "iPhone SE" available, according to leaked code strings
within iOS 14. That device would be akin to the iPhone 8 Plus, just
with the same updated internals. We're not currently expecting any
major design overhauls like an edge-to-edge display, OLED panel or a
TrueDepth Face ID sensor suite. Like last year's stable of iPads, the
device will continue to rely on older tech like Touch ID and will
sport aging, bezeled designs. But its price point and internal
upgrades, which we'll get to below, may make it a popular choice for
many consumers. 'iPhone SE 2' specifications A concept render of what
the 2020 "iPhone SE" will look like. Courtesy of OnLeaks and
iGeeksblog. Apple is definitely going to give the "iPhone SE" an
overhaul in terms of its internal specifications. But users should
expect incremental updates, not major ones. Back in January 2018,
well-connected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested that the "iPhone SE 2"
would sport an A13 processor - the same as the CPU in the iPhone 11 -
and 3GB of RAM. More minor updates could include a new Liquid Crystal
Polymer antenna design, which would give the refreshed device better
cellular reception and performance. Leaked code in iOS 14 also
suggests that the "iPhone SE" will retain a Touch ID fingerprint
sensor, though it may support the so-called CarKey feature for
locking, unlocking and starting compatible vehicles. The latest
information indicates that the 2020 "iPhone SE" will be available in
64GB, 128GB and 256GB storage configurations and will launch in white,
black and PRODUCT(RED) variants. All of this is to say that the new
"iPhone SE" will an entry-level device that will lower the barrier of
entry for Apple's latest advancements in silicon, making it an
attractive choice for users who have been holding out on upgrading
from older iPhones for reasons of price or familiarity. iPhone SE
availability Rumors about the updated device's launch date have
shifted drastically over the years. In summer 2017, reports suggested
that a second-generation iPhone SE could debut in early 2018, for
example. Now, it appears that the 2020 "iPhone SE" will launch
sometime in April 2020. While a credible tipster indicated that Apple
would announce the device on Friday, April 3, another leaker said that
the launch is slated for April 15. More confusing are case maker
leaks, with at least one manufacturer potentially tipping an April 5
release date. At this point, we're comfortable saying that the "iPhone
SE" will launch in the very near future. But an exact day is still up
in the air. As far as price, that's less clear. But a report from
February 2020 suggests that it could start at $399, presumably for the
base 64GB tier. That's about on-par with previous iterations of the
iPhone SE, and cheaper than Apple's current lowest-cost iPhone, the
$449 iPhone 8. 'iPhone SE 2' name An iPhone 8-compatible screen
protector was updated to reflect 'iPhone SE' compatibility on Apple's
site. The upcoming 4.7-inch device has been given several monikers by
leakers, analysts and others in the Apple blogosphere. That includes
"iPhone SE 2" and "iPhone 9. At this point, it appears that the device
will simply be dubbed the "iPhone SE," according to an apparent leak
from an accessory on Apple's official online storefront. The
aforementioned tipster also suggested that Apple would differentiate
the new model from past iPhone SE devices by referring to it
specifically as an "iPhone SE 2020. It isn't clear if the larger model
- if it exists - will be dubbed the "iPhone SE Plus. While an "iPhone
9" and "iPhone 9 Plus" moniker may make more sense to some consumers,
the device is likely aimed at filling the gap that the original iPhone
SE left. From that perspective, the "iPhone SE" name, in which the SE
stands for "special edition," would be in-line with Apple's past
low-cost iPhone strategy. .
