Apple's 4-Inch iPhone to Be Called 'iPhone 5se' With Design Modeled After iPhone 5s

Reeking entitlement, as always. It's so funny reading these comments on an Apple forum, where Apple traditionally charges huge prices anyhow.
The punctuation was spot on, the grammar less so. There is only one question in this sentence so, at most, only one question mark was needed.
It could even be argued that the question was a rhetorical statement, it could have ended in an exclamation mark.
I'm going to get off my high horse and have some breakfast now.
He has good connections, I won't deny that. But he has so much fantasy in interpreting small rumors that it is healthy to take his predictions with a grain of salt.

No you wouldn't. 80% of your apps wouldn't run.
I'm one of those weirdos that got a 5S after the 6 was out. Played with the iPhone 6, didn't like the size and shape at all, ordered a 32GB 5S. Don't think I'm missing out on any cool feature yet although I'd love me some 3D touch. Some apps don't work too well on the "small" screen (notably the Music and Podcast app are terrible nowadays) and that's probably intentional. :-(
Hoping for an iPhone 7 in a 4" screen size. Preferably natural metal color so it doesn't look terrible after a year of normal wear.
The thickness and weight of the 5S is pretty spot-on, it charges super quick with the right charger and battery life is decent. Just wish the fingerprint sensor was a a bit faster and worked with sweaty fingers. The sleep button rattles a bit (unlike the earlier phones) and I'd like 3D touch and altimeter. I'll take all the camera updates I can get (mostly zooming) as long as it fits in the case.

no 3D Touch? shouldnt they be pushing that technology so devs will actually bother to implement it?
This product line up makes me think scully is back. What happened to clearly distinguishable products and names? Next up iPhone 400 LC and iPad performa
The name is not so important for me, but I do prefer the design of a 5C over that of a 5S, it just feels smoother, sturdier & more element-friendly.
iPhone Quadra 6, iPhone LC 6, iPhone Performa 6 and iPhone Centris - but surprise, they;re all the same thing with different storage capacities and different preinstalled app bundles.
I love how they have kept the 5 design. And possibly improved it with a curved screen. But with an A8 and one gig of ram, the update is to incremental to bother. Especially with the iPhone 7 coming just 6 months later.
Omitting 3D touch in a new phone is a weird choise if they want the tech to gain traction and devs to get cooking.
A9, two gigs ram and 3D touch is what it takes for me to get on board. Otherwise, my 5S will have to do until the next 4" model comes along.

It's really pretty simple, folks.....if this device has the A8 chipset it's going to fail. But if it comes with A9 and of course the 2GB RAM then it can really take off. By then we'll be getting ready for the iPhone 7 with A10 to come out in September.
I mean the A8 is no slouch, I remember it fondly from my old 6 Plus but the A9 and increase in available RAM just run circles around it with the 6s Plus. To put this kind of power in a more compact phone I can see the appeal it would have on people who want something a bit more affordable and pocketable, easier on the hands etc....

Please, I'm on my knees
Just give us a 4-inch phone with 2GB of RAM, 4K video and image quality closer to the 5s rather than the 6/6s. Heck you can even call it the iPhone 2GSe for all I care.

In what world would Apple make a new phone and call name it something from three years ago? You're telling me they'll have the 7, 7+ and a 5se?? Not a chance.
Cannot wait to sell my iPhone 6 to get one, but that name, wtf? iPhone 5e i could understand, e for extended maybe , but iPhone 5se is just silly. What Apple need to do with the iPhone 7 is have iPhone 7 Mini, iPhone 7, and iPhone 7 Plus.
As much as i love my Apple products it would not be the first time Apple lost the plot with naming. 'The New iPad' instead of iPad 3

i'm interested in a NEW 4-inch iPhone but NOT IN APRIL when you know for sure iPhone 7 will come out 5 months later, it doesn't make sense. This should've been released back in Nov/Dec.
I could not care less about the name...
There are a couple different groups that would still like a 4” iPhone.
Those looking for a less expensive model, and those who still want all the power and features of the 6s just with a smaller size.
At least one group is going to be disappointed, and possibly both.
Ideally I’d like to see all the features of the 6s in a 4” package and be $100 less, but I don’t think that will happen.
I think the most likely scenario is going to be the features of the 6 in a 4” package in between what the 5s and 6 are going for now (so $500).

I guess it's confirmation there's a market for the 5 form factor. Personally, having moved to a 6, I'd not want to go back to a 5. That said, I've always found it strange that you have to buy big to get the most powerful phone.
