iPhone SE 2 release date, specs rumours & price  Based on a leaked build of iOS 14, we now know that a new iPhone SE for 2020 (rumoured to be called the iPhone 9) exists and will appear at some point in the nearish future. Despite delays related to the COVID-19 outbreak, multiple sources now point to an iPhone SE 2 launch in April - although they are divided over the precise day of the launch. An astonishing leak on Apple's own website suggests it could arrive any day now and will be called simply - and confusingly - 'iPhone SE'. When will the iPhone 9 come out? We know that a new iPhone SE exists, following the leak (to 9to5Mac) of an early build of iOS 14 which mentions the device in its code.

Study author, MIT associate professor Lydia Bourouiba, warned that droplets of all sizes can travel 23 to 27 feet, or 7-8 metres, carrying the pathogen.
