Don’t need a 120 Hz.
Just put a decent battery there and we are good.

"But but but there are $150 Android phones with 120Hz refresh rates! Come on, Apple!"
I have an Android phone with a 120Hz refresh rate. I never, ever, not once, have thought "gee I wish my iPhone SE looked like this." I bought it because I heard it had a really nice screen, and I wanted to play in the Android ecosystem too. The screen is fine. The OS and the rest of the experience are janky with lots of features but poorly implemented.
I think the vast majority of smartphone shoppers would be more interested in seeing an ad from their carrier that says "It's the latest and least expensive iPhone" than they are "Android phone, 120Hz refresh rate."
Yes of course there are huge markets for both inexpensive Androids and iPhones. Each has tradeoffs and I'm willing to have a phone with a "lesser" feature specification that I don't notice in order to have a phone that's so much better to use, right out of the box.
Oh wow. So finally in 2024 android finally gets updated regularly like it should have always been.My Pixel ask for a pardon. Samsung just came out said they are doing 6 years of Android support, even with their galaxy A-line budget phones.
I get you don’t like Android, that’s fine. But at least get some correct information and don’t blanket every Android phone.
Android brands sure seem to be able to provide 120 Hz at a low cost. Apple doing this seems like price differentiation to me. They certainly do it on memory / storage upgrades.But don’t charge more, right? In fact lower the price, right? You can’t have your cake snd eat it too.
There’s nothing misplaced or incorrect about what I said. I understand criticism of android (a product I have well over nearly 2 decades with) bothers ppl for some reason but be that as it may I wasn’t wrong.I think everyone knows your endless disdain for android, even if it's misplaced but shoveling misinformation isn't productive.
It doesn’t hurt the brand at all. iPhones are still seen as luxury devices even if there are comparable android phones.I think after a point, it hurts the brand.
I think that a good chuck of people don't care about brands for "luxury" or status. Maybe I'm around a different crowd though. I certainly wouldn't want my anecdotal data to be seen as any sort of fact.It doesn’t hurt the brand at all. iPhones are still seen as luxury devices even if there are comparable android phones.
I recently helped my bfs mom get a galaxy s24 ultra. Beautiful screen and yet still felt cheap holding it.
But it will come pre-loaded with U2's latest album.Still no mention of a U2 chip for the SE.
I use Snapchat for my camera that whatever improvements that would bring I don’t use lolIf it had the new 24MP Front Camera coming to the others, this would be an incredible value. I'm sure that and other things when it releases will really show the concessions that it makes to have that price, but still overall it's a great value.
On a small screen it is barely noticeable, it is just the fashionable thing some people latch onto so they can complain, those same people will move to something else when 120Hz is standard. I have a tv that is 120 hz and another of about the same size at 60, on the tv you can notice a bit of a difference on fast moving images but even with the tv it is not such a huge issueScreen refresh isn't currently, nor has it ever been, a decision or factor in what device I buy. Same for the few Android users I know.
My wife uses a Pixel 8 and didn't even have high refresh turned on until I showed it to her, six months after she bought it. She doesn't care either way. My work-issued Se is 60, and my personal phone is 120hz... I can't see the difference, and just don't care.
While a fixed 120Hz will drain the battery faster, the impact of the variable frame rate associated with ProMotion displays actually reduces power consumption for most users, as compared to a fixed 60 Hz display. Although I still do not believe it is necessary for a [relatively for Apple] low cost SE phone modes....and a ProMotion display would likely drain the SE’s battery even faster.
Just release a 16 Pro Mini already

According to this article the 16 pro MAX display comes in at a cost of $80 USD vs the 16 base model (not pro or max) which comes in at $65 USD.But don’t charge more, right? In fact lower the price, right? You can’t have your cake snd eat it too.
I set my 16 Pro to 60hz via accessibility even though I run my Mac, iPad Pro, and Windows PC at 120hz.And the elephant in the room as always is what is not mentioned here: still a 60Hz screen refresh rate, I guess
