What's the story
Following the recent hands-on video that revealed a glass back on an alleged iPhone SE 2, accessory maker Olixar has outed another significant design element of the upcoming Apple smartphone.
Olixar has shared a render that suggests iPhone SE 2 will feature an iPhone X-like notch.
Further, it will also have a form-factor similar to its predecessor, the palm-friendly iPhone SE.

iPhone SE-2 might feature Face ID. Or it might not.
While the renders show a front camera, earpiece, and a Face ID camera, the notch measurement of the screen protector is significantly smaller than the iPhone X.
As per Olixar, the iPhone SE 2 will measure 120mmx54.82mm along with an 18.7mm wide notch on top.
This suggests that the iPhone SE 2 may not include Face ID or Apple may pack them closely.
