In the first half of 2020, Apple is expected to introduce a new affordable iPhone 9, which was previously known as the iPhone SE 2. Given the current situation in the world, it is not clear whether this device will be launched as planned, but there are indications that this will happen in soon. The source posted an image of a case for the new iPhone, which is supposedly due to go on sale on April 5th. This means that the iPhone itself could be unveiled even earlier.
The report says that an employee at retailer Best Buy has released a snapshot of the Urban Armor Gear protective case, which is designed for the new 4,7 2020-inch iPhone. The box does not indicate a specific model of the device, which is not surprising, since Apple has not yet officially introduced the smartphone.
There is no confirmation that the protective cases will actually go on sale on April 5th. However, it's possible that major retailers like Target and Best Buy are getting ahead of Apple by trying to give customers the option to purchase protective cases from the first day the new iPhone is launched. If this report is true, then the launch of the iPhone 9 should take place this week. Since Apple is unlikely to hold any major events in the near future, the launch of the new iPhone can take place at any time in the form of a press release and the announcement of a start date for sales.
As for the technical parameters of the novelty, it is assumed that the hardware basis of the 4,7-inch smartphone will be the proprietary Apple A13 chip. Versions with a flash drive of 64 and 128 GB are expected to appear.
