San Francisco: Noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has revealed that Apple might launch an affordable smartphone iPhone SE 2 in the first quarter of 2020 and it is likely to start selling at a price of $399.

###

Kuo says the phone will have an A13 chip, which is also being used in iPhone 11, along with 3GB RAM and will have three colour options: silver, space grey and red, MacRumors reported.

###

The iPhone SE 2 will not get the 3D Touch feature, which the company has already removed from the iPhone 11.

###

It will have a design similar to the iPhone 8 and it will use a Touch ID fingerprint reader, not Face ID.

###

Earlier Kuo also said that Apple is preparing to release a new iPad Pro, a new MacBook and an augmented reality (AR) headset by the first half of 2020.

###

Kuo expects Apple to team up with third parties to create the first batch of AR headsets.

###

The new iPad Pro models will be launched in the first quarter and will reportedly come with a rear-facing 3D Time-of-Flight sensor for increased accuracy in depth-of-field photography.

###

While, a MacBook with a new scissor-switch keyboard could be launched in Q2 2020.
