If rumors are to be believed than iPhone SE 2 was supposed to enter the mass production phase in Q1 of 2018.
It is 2019 already and we haven’t heard any official news about iPhone SE 2 and there is no clear indication that if the iPhone SE 2’s development phase even started.
It can be fake news due to the constant running rumor mill.
A renowned industry analyst thinks that the reason for the delay is that Apple already used up all of its production resources because of three other iPhones.

There is no news about hardware specification of the iPhone SE 2.Popular theories suggest that iPhone SE 2 is going to sport a display similar to iPhone X complete with a notch, dual camera setup of iPhone X and no headphone jack.
BGR also reported about some sketches of reportedly of iPhone SE 2 .
Now from the looks of these sketches and the size of the screen, it looks more like the previously touted iPhone X Mini.
Conclusion
Keeping in mind that brands like Huawei and OnePlus are already leading mid-range market and Apple is already missing out a huge market in India due to the prices of its phones.
Them abandoning the iPhone X Mini release in favor of a cheaper iPhone SE2 could be the right step in the right direction.
