00:00The last really small iPhone that Apple made was the iPhone SE, it's a three-year-old device at this point, so it's a little bit dated, but it's still a very popular device, mostly because of its size.
00:14It's also relatively inexpensive at this point, but it still runs the latest version of iOS, it's still a great phone for what it's meant to be.
00:21But people have been wanting a small or like a updated small iPhone for a while, because if you want any of the new kind of user interface iPhones with Face ID and stuff, you need to get one of the bigger phones.
00:33But there have been reports recently from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of a new upcoming small iPhone.
00:39It's supposed to be smaller than iPhone X and XS, but not as small as the iPhone SE.
00:43It's supposed to be rocking a 5.4-inch screen.
00:46So the regular iPhone X right now has a 5.8-inch screen, it's supposed to be a little bit smaller.
00:50And a 5.4-inch OLED screen that retains the same aspect ratio as their existing current devices would fit actually quite well into their existing or like the old iPhone 6 to iPhone 8 chassis design.
01:03So this kind of more traditional chassis design.
01:06This actually houses that screen size really well.
01:08It's not as small as like the iPhone SE.
01:10Like we've seen a bunch of renders pop up on the internet of the iPhone SE 2, which would look awesome.
01:16But a 5.4-inch screen won't fit onto this size physically.
01:19Like the biggest thing you get on this is maybe 5 inches.
01:22But the classic iPhone 6 to iPhone 8 chassis can hold a 5.4-inch screen just right.
01:27Now this screen is also supposed to have a punch hole camera.
01:30So instead of the notch that we've seen on the iPhone X, iPhone XR, and XS.
01:34These new phones are supposed to have a punch hole camera system up front.
01:38Now this type of technology isn't new, right?
01:42When we look at the kind of existing phone lineup we have on the market today.
01:46If you look for a smaller phone with an OLED panel, with thin bezels all around, and a punch hole camera.
01:51The Samsung Galaxy S10e fits that ticket.
01:54This is one of my favorite phones of the year.
01:55It's super comfortable to hold in my hand.
01:57And as much as I like the S10 and S10+.
02:00I'm a huge fan of smaller phones that fit comfortably in one hand for one hand usage.
02:05And to hear that Apple is considering making a small phone again for people without huge hands.
02:10It's nice to hear.
02:12Ming-Chi Kuo also mentions other sizes for these iPhones.
02:15There's that really small one.
02:16A similar size one to the iPhone XR in terms of screen size.
02:19And also an even larger plus size.
02:21So right now the iPhone X plus is a 6.5-inch screen.
02:25These new ones are supposed to have a 6.7-inch screen.
02:27Just a little bit bigger, but a completely new design to house that larger screen.
02:31The other characteristic that's cool about these three phones is that they're supposed to be finally running USB-C.
02:37It's kind of crazy we've lasted this long running lightning ports on these iPhones.
02:41So it's about time.
02:42Now the unfortunate thing, despite all this cool information about these new phones.
02:46Is that these phones are supposed to be coming next year.
02:49Not the ones coming out in a few months, but in 2020.
02:52So according to Kuo, we're seeing stuff like 5G technologies, new designs, bigger screens, and smaller screens.
02:58But just a completely redesign to the iPhone.
03:00See, the 2019 iPhone, the one that's coming out in a few months.
03:04That's been leaked like crazy.
03:06And from the images we've seen, it's not a huge step up from the current generation of iPhone.
03:10It's got a triple camera system, maybe some bigger batteries.
03:13But the overall design and usability of the 2019 iPhones remains quite unchanged.
03:18With the 2020 ones, with new size and 5G technology.
03:22That's a pretty significant change in just what the iPhone is.
03:26So if you're someone who appreciates a smaller iPhone.
03:28Or you want to upgrade your iPhone SE.
03:30Or if you just want a smaller iPhone.
03:32I wouldn't get the 2019 models.
03:34I would totally wait for the 2020.
03:35Because that 5.4 inch screen looks pretty promising.
03:38Okay, hope you guys enjoyed this video.
