The new version—potentially to be called the iPhone SE 2— will resemble the iPhone 8 in appearance with 4.7 inch screen. The iPhone 8 is currently still on the market and priced at $449, while the iPhone SE was priced at $399 at launch.

While the reported iPhone SE 2 won't have any of those features, Apple hopes releasing a more affordable option will help the company meet their 2020 growth goals, which includes shipping more than 200 million units this year alone.
