Now that we’re well into 2018, rumors about the next iPhone have started to pile up. We’ll keep track of everything that’s being said and analyze what seems feasible in this article so you can keep up with the latest iPhone gossip.
Updated 04/18/18: A filing by the Eurasian Economic Commission lists 11 new iPhone models, strongly suggesting that an updated iPhone SE is on the way.
What’s the latest?
While we had all but given up on the release of a new iPhone SE this year, a filing by the Eurasian Economic Commission suggests a sequel to the 2-year-old handset may indeed be on the way. As spotted by French site Consomac, the filing lists 11 previously unseen models of iPhone: A1920, A1921, A1984, A2097, A2098, A2099, A2101, A2103, A2104, A2105 and A2106. Apple typically differentiates its iPhones by the modem inside them, and 11 is an abnormally large number of models (the iPhone X only has three, by comparison). However, Consomac notes that sales of this particular model have been approved in the Armenian, Belorussian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Russian regions, which suggests Apple is expanding the iPhone SE’s reach into more markets.
