    Apple’s affordable iPhone has been a part of the rumour mill since quite some time and now enthusiasts have some official confirmation to hang on to. Apple’s official website has listed a screen cover for iPhone 7, iPhone 8 and even iPhone SE. Since the first-generation iPhone SE came with completely different dimensions in comparison to the iPhone 8 and iPhone 7, it is safe to assume that the new generation iPhone SE will be identical to Apple’s last phones with the iconic home button and no notch.

    The listing shows that the screen cover is only common with the smaller sized iPhone 8 and not the Plus version. Earlier, the device was expected to either be named iPhone 9 or iPhone SE 2. However, the company is sticking with the simple iPhone SE 2020 version.

    Going by the revelation, the new iPhone SE will feature a 4.7-inch display and will bring back the home button that was last seen on the iPhone 8.

    The phone is expected to avoid the much expensive 3D Face Scan and replace it with another biometric option, fingerprint sensor. The phone is likely to feature an LCD screen.

    According to 9to5 Mac, the phone will be available in Black, Red and White. The report also claims that the phone will get up to 256 GB of internal storage and will be powered by an A13 Bionic chipset which is featured on the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 11 Pro series.

    Amid the coronavirus outbreak, Apple is expected to do the launch event online. The launch of the next Apple flagships, however, may get delayed by months.

    J.P. Morgan analyst Gokul Hariharan said that engineering and production verification tests are likely to happen later than usual this year.

    In February, the company claimed that revenue for the current quarter would be below its forecasts and that the worldwide iPhone supply "will be temporarily constrained" because of the consequences of the COVID-19 epidemic.
