Although introduced to usí iPhone SE 2nd generation is only a few weeks away, rumors are already starting to circulate about his successor. But not because he will be the current one in a year, for example. iPhone SE outdated in terms of performance, camera or battery, but because it will no longer meet users' demands foroneactivity. Specifically, we are talking about 5G networks, which will soon become a common part of the lives of their residents in many countries, making it easy for everyone to access them. iPhone connect. 

As 5G is still a relatively young technology, modems ensuring compatibility with it are currently very expensive compared to, for example, LTE modems. This is mainly because the world does not have much experience with the development of these modems, and therefore the work on them costs much more than if, for example, the aforementioned LTE modems were currently being improved. However, technology companies led by Qualcomm are moving very quickly in this direction, which simply means that they are bringing the arrival of cheap 5G modems that will be of sufficient quality to be implemented in cheaper smartphones. According to available information, the first such swallows should arrive at the beginning of next year, when companies such as LG, Motorola or Sharp should take care of them. However, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi and many other smartphone manufacturers who will start churning out cheap phones with 5G support will definitely not want to be left behind either. And that's exactly what he'll have to do Apple respond by upgrading the iPhone SE 2nd generation. 

Apple may not have a hard time with the arrival of 5G on cheap smartphones. The fact is that all manufacturers are still on the same starting line and even if a few of them get ahead, it is still necessary to take into account that the arrival of 5G will not be so lightning fast that their rush will be reflected in the sales of 5G and, consequently, non-5G smartphones. So being first does not make sense in this case - the important thing this time is to be ready in time. AppIn this regard, Lu is betting that Qualcomm, which is considered a trendsetter in the world of 5G modems, will help him with the preparation and it can therefore be assumed that he will be able to iPhone SE manage to find 5G modems with an ideal price/performance ratio. However, it is difficult to say at the moment whether these will be modems planned primarily for the iPhone 12, the price of which could drop in the coming months, or whether it will be a completely new modem unit developed specifically for the needs of a low-cost iPhone. 

So be it Apple whatever he decides, it can be assumed, with regard to the 5G outbreak in the world, that with its implementation u iPhone SE 2nd generation he won't hesitate too much and will be deployed early. The question now is rather what the deployment of a 5G modem would do to its price. However, he probably doesn't even know the answer to it yet Apple, as it is absolutely impossible to predict how the 5G market will develop in the coming months - especially in the current world situation.
