Apple Announces New iPhone SE With 4.7-Inch Display, A13 Chip, and Touch ID, Starts at $399

[iamPro]

Great phone. Seriously got me considering upgrading my iPhone 8, which is still running just fine.

But I do miss the old design. The iPhone 5/5s was my favorite looking iPhone or any smartphone for that matter.

It starts at 479 Euro. What the actual F.

you might as well fly to the US (when we can) and buy it there lol

The rumours have always said that the Plus version would come later. It's not delayed.

Gotcha. Thanks!

I wonder why it's coming later?

It will be weird to have another announcement.

 

[McTool]

Meh, I was hoping for something smaller.

It might be worth upgrading just to get a modern processor without FaceID though.

Smaller? It’s been on rumor sites for months it has the body of an 8 and you’re still hoping for a smaller device?
Yet wanting the latest tech, the A13 for example but not Face-id.
Quarantaine sure got to you.

 

[Aston441]

Why did they call it the same name as a previous different product ?

Makes no sense at all. It's an iPhone 9.

 

[DEXTERITY]

No 5G? Guess I have to wait for wifey and myself..although wont it work anyways with 5G?

 

[Stromos]

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.

Which is the single most important thing...

It took this long to provide an update to the SE, using an existing design that is not comparable with the SE outside of price. I'm not impressed.
I would have liked to see Apple develop the SE into something identifiable, like an affordable flagship. But it's just a vanilla iPhone.

 

[MakeAppleAwesomeAgain]

I’m sure no one is happy.

At this price they're gonna sell a HUGE amount of them and many people will be very happy.

 

[barnesy99]

$399 in the US and £419 in the UK! WTF Apple?!

 

[Ultramove69]

Much cheaper than I was expecting, love it

 

[McTool]

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.

Liked the home button very much. Until I got an 11. Wouldn’t wanna go back. So convenient and ridiculously fast is Face-id.

Price starting at $399? That sounds so crazy to me cus I’m so use to these $1000 iPhones now I guess lmao

Seems the SE exists just to meet a lower price point.

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?

It has the same dimensions as iPhone 8, except for the Apple logo placement.

SE2 has the XR camera.

 

[John Connor]

I need this.

So glad they didn't sink to 32GB.

 

[ericwn]

When will we know it actually has 3GB?

When someone has a real world device in hand for testing?

 

[Kaledatheone]

While I’m waiting to see the specs, this will be a solid replacement for my iPhone 8.

It's a direct replacement for the 8. Same price with some extra features but not enough to call it a budget phone.

 

[DeepIn2U]

Instant Buy.

and my iPhone 8 256 instantly got the shaft on the grey market today Ugghh!

very good move Apple and now this model should be a staple going forward!

a lot of people are going to be VERY happy. This should del like hot cakes and help Apples bottom line internationally.

 

[McTool]

A €100 bucks less then I paid for my 11?!?!?
Apparently I got a very good deal. And no. Not with monthly payments.

 

[macfan90]

still no iMac updates, uggg.

 

[itsmilo]

$399 in the US and £419 in the UK! WTF Apple?!

same in Euro. Crazy to think that with 100 bucks more, you used to get the latest greatest model back in the < iPhone 5S days

 

[DeepIn2U]

We can rest now.

nope ... what about the MBP 14”! Only the. Shall we rest!

 

[JamesMay82]

How many of you would feel comfortable buying this or any new products coming out of China?

illl be waiting till the virus has officially gone or a vaccine is ready.

 

[G3Blue]

I'll stick with my SE.

Which one?
