Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has revealed that the upcoming iPhone SE 2 will be equipped with a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) antenna design for improved wireless transmission.

Kuo said that Career Technologies and Murata Manufacturing will begin supplying Apple with antenna components for the iPhone SE 2 in early 2020, in time for the device to launch by the end of the first quarter, MacRumors reported.

The phone is expected to have the same design as the iPhone 8 such as a 4.7-inch screen, a Touch ID home button. The iPhone SE 2 will not get the 3D Touch feature, which the company has already removed from the iPhone 11.

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.
