The iPhone SE 2 may be the iPhone 9 we really want

There's a reason people have been eagerly awaiting the iPhone SE 2: to herald in a new era of the best iOS and iPhone functionality at a low cost. But folks also appreciated the original iPhone SE's home button, and with it, Touch ID. The upcoming'New Spring iPhone 2020' – presumed to be the iPhone SE 2 – will retain the home button, according to noted leaker Evan Blass, and we have little reason to doubt it. But would Apple let one of its brand-new handsets have a low-tech authentication method, given how much it's invested in facial recognition with Face ID? Absent Blass' intel and solid track record, we'd be skeptical. True, Apple still produces the home button-packing iPhone 8, but that handset debuted in 2017, and it's now sold as a budget model.
