I guess we shall see, unless this phone has sapphire II display and a Super A15 processor. I don't see why there should be a shortage of supply on a phone that is 3 years old and hardware that has been in services for 7-8 months.
Got a tip for us?

b.c there hasn't been a powerful 4" phone in a few years. The trend was "phablet" and now many people want to go back to smaller phones. With that said, I do not see there being a shortage. Outside of these forums I know one other person purchasing the SE.
You do know that the hardware package and battery is new, right.
Apple has taken 90% of an iPhone 6S and stuffed it into an iPhone 5S packaging form factor. Yes there are a few features missing from the iPhone 6S but also missing is the higher entry price point!

I say Nuuuuuu like Noooooo but with a touch of whine in it, lolWait, you said "NUUUUUU"???
Are you it wasn't Ni?
Update: This iPhone SE just departed from the UPS WorldHub in Lousiville, KY. Still moving in the right direction.

The front camera, fingerprint sensor, display and sensors, and chassis all come from the 5S. So, I wouldn't say 90% of the hardware comes from the 6S. Maybe 50%.
[doublepost=1459374410][/doublepost]As for me, I stopped in at T-Mobile yesterday and pre-ordered a 16gb Rose Gold model. Will arrive tomorrow via UPS. Not bad. T-Mobile is extremely fast. They even got me my S7 Edge delivered 10 days before official release.
Just as I suspected Apple ships UPS and the iPhone SE is coming from TN. Mine is in transit and on time for tomorrow delivery.
I agree. This is one of the reasons why I am buying the SE. I desperately want it to succeed so Apple decides that 4 inch is a must have size in the future.
You know the drill. Pictures or it didn't happen.
Got a 64GB SIM-Free model for my dad's birthday. Hope he likes it LOL
It's currently Preparing for Shipment, I should get it around April 7-11.

My first iPhone SE (Space Gray 64 GB) has arrived in Miami and departed via truck at 7:30 PM, the second one is still in Louisville, KY for a flight. Both originated in Nashville, TN today.

Glad to see AT&T had inventory for the first wave. The AT&T site is now showing new orders have a April 20-27 schedule.

I'd still be paying for the plan, so I might as well get the phone cheap. Unless the plan would have been cheaper had I bought my own phone. I didn't think to ask that. But I kind of think that even with all the crap I'm still better off buying from Verizon and signing the 2-year contract, since I'll be with them anyway.
Back when I bought my first cell phone, Verizon was the only carrier that would sell me a phone. I never, ever borrow money. I pay cash, or I do without. But that means I had no credit rating, and without a credit rating, none of the other companies would sell me a phone. Never mind that for the three decades of my adult life I had never failed to pay my utility bills on time, that does not go onto your credit history. Verizon let me buy a phone, and I'm sticking with them. The other cell companies can go stick their head in a bucket of... well... I won't say because I don't want to get banned.
My phone finally left the facility in Memphis at 3:33 this afternoon. Knock on wood that it makes it to Spokane tonight and gets on an early-morning truck tomorrow so that it arrives before noon rather than after my bedtime tonight. The web site will not let me pre-sign, so I'll have to be at home all day until it arrives.
I wonder how many of these phones will be on the same plane, or if it will need more than one plane. I wonder if FedEx runs a non-stop from Memphis to Spokane or if it will have to be sorted again in Seattle.
I should have just waited a month and bought it at the store. All this anguish is not worth it for a damn telephone.
Interesting. I pre-ordered yesterday from my local T-Mobile store and mine shipped today, with delivery for Friday.
