Following the recent releases of new flagship smartphones and notebooks, Apple fans are probably wondering when the company will announce a successor to the iPhone SE. Well, according to well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the phone won't arrive in the first half of 2017.

Unlike any other major smartphone, the iPhone SE's life will be extended past the usual one year period. One of the main reasons why we won't see iPhone SE refresh early next year is because the Cupertino company wants to keep its margins high by encouraging users to upgrade to the more expensive iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
