The iPhone X Plus or the iPhone SE 2, both seem to be part of Apple's plans for 2018. But today's tips suggest that the smaller of these two units will be coming sooner than the larger.

For a lot of people, the iPhone SE was a refreshing reprieve from the increasing screen size of mainline iPhones. At a time when it was becoming clear that larger iPhones were here to stay, Apple threw small phone lovers a bone by launching the 5-inch SE.

Big phones might be in fashion, and Apple may be readying an even larger version of the iPhone X for 2018, but some will be more excited by rumors of a refreshed iPhone SE.

The iPhone SE 2, the rumored successor to the iPhone SE, will feature a glass back, according to a new report. This glass back may be more than a random design choice, instead hinting at a specific, welcomed feature: wireless charging.

The addition of a glass back would itself be a big change, and wireless charging would bring it to a whole new level.
Apple is reportedly preparing a new version of the iPhone SE, a second-generation update of the sleeper-hit smartphone to satisfy both budget- and size-minded buyers.

Apple war reported this week to be aiming for the "next China" (AKA India) with their next set of iPhones.
