If Apple did an SE size in the X form factor, the sensors would probably require the full width of the device, so no notch. Win-win!
 
at this point, might as well just buy a used one on Swappa and save a hundred bucks. The SE isn't worth $249 new.

Yeah. It’s a nice budget phone. After buying xs max, i realized that i don’t need all these new feature phones, especially with the price.

I bought a maxed out 6s Plus with AC+ on its launch day, only do find out that I hated larger phones. I used it for two years than sold it for a SE.

Of course there are things miss on the 6s Plus. Some of the features of the 6s Plus I hated, like 3D Touch, but when compared to the SE, the 6s Plus was much better two use when I could have two hands on it, it had Touch ID2, and the better camera, but the fancy features ultimately were not worth it for me to put up with the giant phone.
 
Hmmmm wish I was American. Though still a chunk of changes esp in Canadian $'s when I already have an X which is a better phone though a less desirable size.

Still cheesed they didn't make the XR or a version of the XR or XS in this size.

If you're in the market for an iPod touch, grab this instead. It'll cost less (if you do what I did) or nearly as much (if you get it from Apple), but it'll be more capable.

It's not more capable: latest Ipod touch has A8 processor, while Iphone SE has A9.
 
Reminds me of how McDonalds markets the ever elusive McRib. It isn't a full time hit so it is here today gone tomorrow.
 
I really want to buy the 128GB Space Grey model, but I can't justify it as I would rarely use it, but that's a great phone and a great deal. It's obvious that Apple needs to replace the SE with updated internals and cameras at the very least. Hell, keep the same form factor, but put the A11 or even A12, at least iPhone 8 camera, and Touch ID 2 solid state home button from the iPhone 7/8. Oh, and offer the Black form the iPhone 7 and bring on Product Red. Watch your iPhone sales increase Apple.

Yeah you should work at Apple. I’d buy that over an XR.

Maybe Apple recently learned from Google with Chromecast Audio which wasn't wildly popular until word got out that it's being discontinued which caused it to sell out everywhere within the same day and the street value have even gone up as a result.
 
The SE is like an old rock band that comes back for a short tour when they are low on funds. I had hoped Apple would have done a 4.7 X style phone. In the current X design language it would not be much bigger than the SE. Glad though for the fans that can still get it.
