Target, the second-largest discount store retailer in the US, has just released a company memo directing all its retail distributors to return the unsold stocks of iPhone SE to Apple. This move could be a positive indication towards the fact that Apple will release a 128GB version of the 4-inch iPhone as early as this month only, according to sources, reported iTechPost.

At this point, both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are available in the market in multiple storage variants, starting from 32 GB to 256 GB.

Although, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has said that an iPhone SE refresh is unlikely in the first half of this year. Apple fans shouldn't set their expectations too high about a second-generation model, which is rumored to be in a low-price bracket.

Apple is set to hold a launch event towards the end of March wherein the company is expected to announce four new variants of iPads.
