Oh okay - sorry. That seems like a lot less price difference between the 11 and 11 pro than here in the US.
Got a tip for us?

Oh yeah it’s actually the informal way - “ren min bi”. CNY is the official acronym

He mentioned it in a post. I converted it to USD. About $17 USD.

Holy cow!!! iZac, you made the front page of MacRumors!!!
Article here
Sounds like many people in that thread are asking for a comparison of the 5.4” iPhone 12 to the 11 Pro & Pro Max models. iZac, no good deed goes unpunished.
Haha thanks, I’m happy my banged up (well loved) iPhone SE got its time in the spotlight. It’s also lovely to see that are are still plenty of stubborn SE users like us. I did another comparison of my girlfriends 11 Pro on that thread so I can appease some other people too. Now there’s no other phones in my flat to line it up against though. All I can do now is scale it up against random other things like a Nintendo Switch or ... I dunno ... a watermelon.

Hey did I miss where you posted the 11 pro comparison? I’d love to see that since I’m on the fence about my phone situation.
Maybe the extra depth going from 8 to 10 bit processing will help with that 🤷♂️
That really bites the big one that people have that problem. These are beautiful screens.
You. Are. A. Star.
Thank you very much for going out of your way to make this definite comparison.
As someone who also is still rocking the OG iPhone SE, the 5.4" looks to be the perfect upgrade. It's gonna be so good!

I think you are enormously mistaken. That phone came at a time when it was the only iPhone Apple offered at the time. The 'lower' iPhone model this year will cost the same starting price as the iPhone 5. There is no reason to believe we should expect anything less from the 5.4" model this year.
If anything, I suspect the 5.4" model will offer superior design in the sense that the flat edges will be more rounded a la iPad Pro and will be easier to handle versus the sharp non-ergonomic edges of the iPhone 4-5S.
I don’t get your point - the 5/5s/SE was arguably one of the best iPhone designs ever.
So if the 5.4” iPhone looks anything like it, I’m going to be pretty happy.
Me too... I wanted to say that this kind of design (or something like premium feeling) will be for Pro models (e.g. you can't expect space gray, gold or silver...)

Do you mean the chamfered edges? I like them. They provide more grip and look nice.
I disagree. At launch, the iPhone 5 and 5s sold for $649 without a carrier subsidy. The original iPhone SE sold for $399. The machining process on the iPhone 5/5s/SE design has long paid for itself for Apple, providing economies of scale. The iPhone 12 will be an entirely new device, even if it does take cues from the 5/5s/SE, but I think we’ll see incredibly craftsmanship from the design of the 5.4” model, even with an expected starting price of $649. The specifications (cameras, display quality, etc.) are areas where Apple can flex down to hit the desired price point. I’m keen to see how far down they’ll flex from the 11 Pro and new 12 Pro models.
Thanks for sharing these pictures, i was really tired of waiting too...i really hope it's smaller than this man

At this point! We’re all tired of the waiting! September seems so far away

That is true but they are also prone to scratches and more fragile
It’s a subjective matter. I personally have never found the chamfered edges even remotely comfortable in my hand.
@iZac is truly the hero that this thread needed. Not sure why none of the YouTubers have done a detailed comparison with a 5.4 dummy unit, but thanks for taking one for the team! Real good stuff there.
Old news I'm sure, but it seems that double vs triple lens, no LiDAR, 60hz vs 120hz, clear glass vs frosted glass, (probable) aluminum sides vs. stainless steel, starting 64gb vs. 128gb.... might be enough to justify a $350 price difference.
oops, and the 5.4" vs. 6.1" screen (which is a real tragedy! 6.1 feels too large.... maybe it's better with flat edges)

The rumored stacked chip (motherboard?) would have a smaller footprint and allow for more battery (a'la' "L" shaped battery in the Pro). I'm hoping for better battery life than the se2020 as well.
Apple is going to be so surprised when people buy a lot of these 😂 what was the last phone when Tim reported that he was "surprised" at how well the phones were Selling? I can't remember which one it was....
