The 2020 iPhone SE is widely speculated to be modeled after the iPhone 8 (pictured right), but with upgraded internals.

After the commercial success of the original iPhone SE, Apple is expected to take orders for its much-awaited successor as early as Friday, according to 9to5Mac citing a "highly-trusted" reader.

It all but dispels earlier rumours suggesting the new budget-friendly phone will be called either the iPhone SE 2 or the iPhone 9. .

 suggest that the new iPhone SE is expected to be modeled after the iPhone 8 right down to its 4.7-inch screen size, thick bezels and physical home button.  But it will feature upgraded internals including Apple's newest chipset, the A13 processor, which is the same one found in the iPhone 11 series
