I can't see Apple making a rookie mistake and labeling it with a moniker like SEX LOL

HAHAHA when you put SE X and 3 or 4 inch in the same comment, I'm waiting for the meme
It's not going to have a damn A10.
When they released the SE, and nearly every iteration of the iPod Touch, everyone was surprised that they shipped with Apple's state-of-the-art processor. Then they stayed on the market without being updated for years. That's the strategy, and that strategy doesn't work if you launch a new product with old tech.
It'll have an A11 because it'll still be on the shelf in 2020.

Around the introduction of iPhone 6, Apple started getting real stupid. It introduced a protruding camera, awful antenna lines, this was followed after by a confusing list of device names and complete disregard for smaller devices.
Apple should get back to simplicity. Release three models TOGETHER - small, regular, large, in three options, good, better, best. Done.
This is how it should go:

Depending on the specs, I might seriously consider ditching my 8+ for it.
Dream list would include:
- Similar battery life
- 3.5mm headphone jack
- 3D Touch would probably have to be a must for me... 3D-touching the keyboard to move the cursor has definitely spoiled me.
“Would-be-nice but not a dealbreaker if they’re not included because I’m aware that, at the end of the day, this is a budget phone” list:
- True Tone Display
- Gen 2 Touch ID
- Water resistance
I honestly don’t care for wireless charging, but if that’s being included then it makes me a bit optimist that 3D Touch will be included as well.

I do, if it has up to date specs. Why can't I have a phone that fits in one hand and isn't totally crippled?

Based off your graphic that you posted, you're indicating that Apple should charge prices for the iPhones at cost? Could you elaborate your logic behind that and how Apple would generate a profit based off a $300 iPhone Plus?
This is not about getting you the phone you want. It is about seeing you more often at a store for a new glass backside
So an iPhone SE with a glass back, I'm trying to visualize that...
I'm sold. 399 for that and I'm onboard day 1. I could forgive iOS for such device.
The iPhone SE help tips app explains how to use 3D Touch. On a phone that doesn't have 3D Touch.
I hate that Apple have left this size of phone out in the cold!
I used to get the latest phone every 2-3 years, and it was fun having the newest things for a little while. Apple have now taken that fun away from the small phone sizes
Wouldn't surprise me if it started at 16GB too . .

Glass still shatters.... I know its probably what people may want today, but how about bringing back plastic back like the iPhone 5c?
We're just lucky, Apple hasn't gotten round to the Mac's just yet... And by that, they could technically do that... Make everyone by Earpods. or adapters. Be more money for them, so nothing it really stopping them. Except perhaps, "what would they replace the space with.."

As others, im willing to spend X money on a full featured SE. Why must we be peanalised for wanting a discreet phone?
If they made an SE version* that was akin to going from the iPhone 8 to the X – only ~4% larger in length and width, yet jumping to 426 ppi versus 326 ppi – then you could have a compact device with roughly 1600 x 900 pixels, measuring approximately 5.07" x 2.40 x 0.30". This would put the resolution about midway between the 8 and 8 Plus. I would buy such a device in a heartbeat.
*With the A11 of course.

I think it’s more that there isn’t enough space to cram everything in if you want to preserve the form factor and still have decent battery life.
Larger phones have more room for better hardware. That’s just physics at work here.
How much of their product mix is the SE? We don’t know, but the SE is simply a starter iPhone with low share. It not having the newest silicon isn’t an admission Apple isn’t serious about AR, lol. They just aren’t going to give you everything in a $350 entry level iPhone.
With so many apple devices available both new and used I say not likely at all in any way unless apple wants to devalue it’s entire line with another device.
The successor to the iPhone SE ... "the official launch in May or June"?! seriously?
They've had so much time since 2017 and the delay by an entire quarter? And no 3D touch?! Why?!
Hardware shouldn't be delayed like this ... further, the economies of scale (6S, 7, 8, X, Apple Watch S2/S3) deem 3D Touch should be so cheap to implement it should be included without thought.
And then battery life would be crap and people would complain they need to charge their phones twice a day wrecking the battery. That whole chain is a certainty and that's why you won't get it.
A smaller phone also has less space for battery and to counter that, you make a lower dpi screen to not kill the battery (the screen is the biggest battery user).
