iPhone SE 2 Is Not Likely to Include 3D Sensing, Wireless Charging: KGI's Ming-Chi Kuo



  • KGI analyst states the iPhone SE 2 will unlikely to include 3D sensing
  • The new iPhone SE model is also not likely to come with wireless charging
  • Ming-Chi Kuo believes the next iPhone SE will run iOS 12

    While you might be looking for a new iPhone X version, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in his latest note details some of the key features of the next affordable iPhone model that would debut as the iPhone SE 2. Kuo has reportedly refuted some of the recent claims about the next-generation iPhone SE model by stating that the new model would not come with any form factor changes and would neither include 3D sensing features nor wireless charging support. Nonetheless, the new iPhone model is expected to be a part of Apple's plans for this year with cheaper components and a slightly upgraded processor that will make the hardware run iOS 12.
    As reported by 9to5Mac, KGI believes that resources by Apple are presently dedicated to the iPhone X development and thus, there are fewer chances for the iPhone SE 2 launch. There is, however, a speculation that the Cupertino company could still push its efforts towards the new iPhone SE model to offer an affordable option in the new iPhone family that is already said to have three new models, including 5.8- and 6.5-inch OLED ones and a cheaper 6.1-inch LCD model.
    A recent report by DigiTimes claimed that the iPhone SE 2 will go for mass production in the second quarter with an official launch sometime in May or June. The DigiTimes report mentioned the presence of wireless charging and 3D sensing features that both are denied by KGI's Kuo.
    Last November, Taiwan's Economic Daily News stated, citing supply-chain sources, that the iPhone SE 2 will be manufactured by Taiwanese original design manufacturer (ODM) Wistron at its Bengaluru factory. Interestingly, the ODM already produces the original iPhone SE model that was launched in March 2016 as an upgrade of the iPhone 5S. A recent Reuters report, citing a couple of government officials, confirmed that Wistron's ICT Service Management Solutions is close to finalising a land deal in India to develop its own site.
    If we believe some past rumours, the iPhone SE 2 could feature a screen size between 4 and 4.2 inches and come in 32GB and 128GB storage capacities as well as Apple A10 SoC and a 1700mAh battery.
    Notably, the original iPhone SE had largely contributed to the double-digit growth in iPhone sales in India last year. The handset also helped Apple rival some of the key mid-range Android smartphone models.

    Tata Sky Launches New, Unlimited Broadband Plans, Starting at Rs 590

    With the impending launch of Jio GigaFiber expected to upend the fixed-line broadband industry the way it changed the mobile telephone landscape earlier in the decade, most incumbent broadband service providers are bracing for the expected onslaught by reducing prices, increasing data caps or, like in the case of Tata Sky, introducing a bunch of new, unlimited plans at relatively affordable price-points. Believed to have been spotted first by TelecomTalk, Tata Sky, known primarily for its DTH TV services, has listed a number of new unlimited broadband plans on its official website.

    Ather Energy to launch a high-performance electric motorcycle next; Details revealed

    Ather Energy, an IT Madras based electric mobility start-up, has just launched two new electric scooters, the 340 and 450. After successfully bringing its first electric scooters to the market, Ather is now aiming a lot higher. The start-up will soon begin work on a high performance electric motorcycle, which will be launched in about two years from now. Tarun Mehta, co-founder of Ather Energy, has just revealed this in an interview to the  TimesOfIndia . Here’s what he said about Ather’s plans to enter the motorcycle segment in India, “Scooters now outsell bikes in all the top 10 cities. It’s painful to drive a petrol bike in crowded cities. In  Bengaluru you can never leave the clutch, and you’ll have this wrist pain. You have zero storage space. With electric  we hope to resolve some of that, you won’t need the clutch, hopefully we’ll be able to build storage space. Half our  company wanted to build a bike, but we built a scooter. Very soon we should be...

    Cannot Wait for Dark Mode on WhatsApp? Here is How to Enable it on Android and iOS

    What good is an app that doesn’t do a Dark Mode these days? Facebook Messenger does it, Amazon Kindle app has it and even the next iterations of the iOS and Android operating systems are focusing extensively on the darker side of things. That does make us wonder why the details about the final release of the much-awaited Dark Mode on WhatsApp for Android and iOS devices is still not confirmed. The most popular instant messaging app in the world may be rolling out a stream of updates and new features with very beta and final release over the past few month, but it could just be that it is waiting for the final release of iOS 13 and Android Q to roll out the Dark Mode goodness. However, if you really don’t want to wait, there are workarounds to get Dark Mode working on WhatsApp on your Android phone or iPhone, right away. If you are using an Android phone, you will need to be running a beta version of Android Q to enable the Dark Mode for WhatsApp. A lot of Android phones...
