This will be my father's next iPhone once I'll find a good deal on it next year. Some people like him still like the home button and that's a solid update if you have a 6 or 6s.
There's a LOT of people who like the old form factor with TouchID. This phone is probably going to be a huge seller. (once you factor in covid-19)
The price is also a HUGE deal; there's probably a lot of people who want a new iPhone but they're too expensive and don't to buy an older model.
So basically a 3 year old phone (iPhone 8) with an up to date processor.
Not terrible...but the target audience could also just buy a refurbished 8 for around $250.

White iPhone with a black front looks good!
Just in time for those 1,200 checks. Prosser definitely nailed this. 9to5 needs to start showing him some respect.
I just think it's funny how Apple redesigns the SE to the current iPhone form factor, and will change the 2020 iPhones to the SE form factor. PORQUE

Not relative to the iPhone SE.
Come across as how they made the MacBook 12” into the MacBook Air because of the popularity of the name.
Uhm it doesn't seem to support Night Mode, at least it is not advertised in the product page.
At least in the italian store you can't see the prices, there is a button "check the price" but it doesn't work...
edit: I can now see the price, is €499 so 60 less than iPhone 8 and you can get 128GB for €50 more.

The rumours have always said that the Plus version would come later. It's not delayed.
Wife just dropped her phone down the stairs, I joke you want a new one. Checked the Apple website...and there it was.
Phone survived the fall, but both she and I are due a new one anyway. Happy days!

Agreed. Reminiscent of the white iPhone 3G.
Yep!
It's a replacement for the 2.5 year-old iPhone 8 that was Apple's entry-level iPhone.
And it's $50 cheaper.
400$ for something that will get support for the next 4 years
How long until 64 GB finally gets too expensive because no one else is using it anymore?
Hopefully this appeases some of the Prosser skeptics. He's been correct a lot lately.
Prosser had said that it would have the XR camera.
If the A13 chip is not throttled (The A10 chip on the iPod Touch is throttled...I forget where I read that last year) then this is a killer buy. I have an app that craves power and the fastest iDevice I have right now is the iPhone 7Plus with the A10 Fusion.
OK, so an iPhone 8 with an A13. This is exactly what I was expecting and I am happy to see it, I will be buying one. Two questions I have that aren't in the press release (though I'm sure the answers are forthcoming:
(1) Confirmation that this is exactly the chassis of an iPhone 8. Would iPhone 8 cases fit it, or will we need to wait for new cases?
(2) Night mode? It is not mentioned in the press release. I wasn't sure if Night Mode required specific hardware as well as software, and I was hoping that it didn't...might be it's not available?

Damn, $599 CAD. Apple really hedging on the CAD dollar drop more than usual right now.
