The question is who's making the leap?
Still so happy with my 64 gold
The 64GB space gray SE I own is perfect for me. 128GB would be too much. Although if I were moving from a 4s, 5 or 5s, I would spring for the 128GB.

If it was meant to be today, it would have been announced.There was meant to be a new 10.5" iPad
64GB is the storage size. It is not device memory.It seems Apple wants us to constantly upgrade from our sweet spot to their up sell sweet spot... because then you are likely to buy the model above!
64GB sounds like a good memory size for this kind of phone.

It will ship with whatever the latest release is when it was manufactured at the factory in China.Is this going to ship with iOS 10.2.1 or iOS 10.3?
I keep getting all these smartass responses it's funny how stupid all you people think I amIf it was meant to be today, it would have been announced.

I didn't state nor imply that you were stupid. You extrapolated your own projected context from my post. If you hadn't done that, you wouldn't feel so defensive and agitated with me for saying something I didn't say.I keep getting all these smartass responses it's funny how stupid all you people think I am
And I'm certain that person meant storage, there's no such thing as a phone with 64gb memory let alone 16....?
I have said that's Apple's goal for some time now -- to get the SE down low enough in price that it makes a suitable replacement for the iPod Touch. I'm stunned actually that Apple still offers a 16GB iPod, as well as four storage options at all. They really should have used this opportunity to drop two of the models, if only to simplify their product offerings, and add greater value to the iPod line while increasing prices slightly. If someone wants an iPod, it's hard for me to imagine they are going to opt for a 16GB model, when the 32GB model is only $50 more. If anything, someone buying an iPod is going to want the maximum storage available. If they're going to offer 16GB, they should do it in the SE format, for $249-299.
And by the way, it's not just a better processor, it's better everything, including the ability to shoot 4K video. I think the only problem with this is that whenever I remove the SIM from my SE, it constantly complains about not having one, and it cannot be setup without one. Apple would have to address this.
If you buy the SIM-free model and then shove in any generic SIM for the any of the other carriers, it will stop barking at you and just say "No Service" at the top instead of either "iPod" or "::insert name of carrier here::".
But yeah, maintaining a 4" iPhone, giving it the same, if not better featureset, and then pricing it within spitting distance of the current iPod touch is how you finally replace the iPod touch. I have a sentimental attachment to it, but from a functional standpoint, I have no problem with that product being replaced by a better one that does more for the same cost. $400 is ridiculous for a 128GB wifi only iPhone with a two and a half year old CPU, but $500 is amazing for a 128GB iPhone with a one and a half year old CPU.
Maybe they will upgrade it in the fall.My iPhone SE already stutters with some scrolling, and the 1.2MP front camera is a joke for 2017. I love the SE, but this update is going to suck big time in the next few months as we get a new iPhone 8 and the SE stays outdated for another year.
This is disappointing the front facing camera only 1.2 megapixels....
A9 is 5 months shy of 2 years old. Definitely not 2.5 years
What wait device are you referring to 128 wifi for 400?
You sure? Cause they're currently listed for $399/$499..... 32GB/128GB.$399/$449 for 16GB/64GB, respectively.
iPhone SE 2 with 3gb RAM and Fusion chip.

These are not updates.
What is going on with this company?
I've never seen my SE stutter while scrolling. You likely have a defective one, and should take it in for service.
As for the front facing camera, I'd argue it's only a joke depending on what you need it to do. I use mine for FaceTime and that's about it. 1.2mp is just fine for that, especially over cellular. Anything else and its the 12mp camera on the rear. Even the iPhone 7 only has a 7mp camera, so I'm gonna use the rear camera on it too if the picture quality actually matters.
That is how it works in YOUR experience. I won't presume to tell you that you didn't experience what you experienced, but your experience is NOT universal.No I don't have a defective phone, this is the story of iOS, it lags, stutters, etc as hardware gets old period. I have owned iPhones for 10 years since version 1, this is how it works. And front facing camera is used A LOT for selfies, I would argue it's a more popular use case than facetime, having 1.2mp is really inadequate for 2017.
Why is anyone surprised though, Apple has been cheapening out and delaying stuff as much as they can. Apple was the last of the top manufacturers to ship smartphones with 16GB storage, they kept 16GB as long as they could for profits at the expense of user experience. They are doing the same with stuff like the front facing camera.
