That's... a weird mix. Perhaps they just want an entry-level device for Apple Arcade?https://www.macrumors.com/2019/05/28/2019-ipod-touch-a10-fusion-256gb-storage/ …

Actually this is very good news for iPhone SE fans, because if they're launching a brand new 4-inch device now - which is therefore going to have to be supported by iOS until at least 2022 or 2023 - it seems like 4-inch screens aren't going anywhere.

Also, the article's theory that Apple is about the drop the A8 - and therefore the iPhone 6/6+ along with the 5s - makes sense; those are the last devices left with only 1 GB of RAM, not to mention that the A9 was a huge performance leap over the A7/A8.

So as of this summer, the new baseline is going to be an A9 and 2 GB of RAM. Which means that the *oldest supported iOS device* will have about the same CPU performance that the 2018 Android flagships did.

(though of course the 2018 flagships are also likely to be the oldest supported devices for Android Q from most OEMs...)

On the other hand, it also signals willingness to refresh 4-inch screen devices with no significant design updates, so a Face ID SE now seems less likely

No way I see Apple supporting A10 chip for another 3 to 4 years. 2 years tops.
