For some, good is good enough. For others like myself, we prefer moving forward a little faster.
Right now, you could find a used SE, in great condition, for a great price, on CL. Get one of those, and just hang out until the 8 drops. If you like the 8, trade in the SE; if not, welcome to the club!
Apple, I swear on everything sacred to tech, do not drop this phone from your lineup! It's perfect for so many of us. Just update it!
You state that in a thread praising and showing the top notch sales of a product that Apple created which it seems EVERYONE wants.
Logic fail, contradiction win.
This thread makes me regret so much the fact i sold my SE last week and got replaced by an Iphone 7 bought on the second-hand market. I thought that more powerfull device and having the top of the line product would be better but i was wrong. I found the tiny SE so much more convenient, easy to handle in one hand and it has such a beautifull design. But it's to late, i did a mistake and I don't want to waste money anymore so i have to keep my Iphone 7 and cope with it for a while but if another edition of the SE is planned and finaly released that's gonna give me another chance and i'll get it without any hesitation !

I'm actually glad to hear the news, it saves me from buying another iPhone for a while. I still love my SE even if it is 64GB and I have 128GB envy.
Well, yes that's ridiculous because you're using wrong. You're using it as an adverb.
Actually the biggest surprise might be that the only iPhone which ranks higher than a Samsung phone is the iPhone SE.
Now when will we get a similar breakdown on the Mac lineup?

clean design in better color options. cleaning up and tightening up a design is always better design. Vs sloppy and tacky design elements.You mean the camera bump gives you love on the 7+ and the 6+ is tasteless? Aha.
Except of the black color what else is different? And don't tell me the missing headphone jack
There! You learned something today. Go tell the other kids and pat yourself on the back.

I replaced my iPhone 6S Plus easily with the iPhone SE. It is a very capable smart phone. I do now have an iPhone 7 Plus and the incremental updates since the iPhone 6Plus was introduced have made it one of the most feature rich and optimally specced iPhones I've owned. But I am still going to take the sim out of it and put it into my SE for the summer, because it's hard to beat the form factor of the SE for comfort if you want to keep a smart phone with you while wearing light summer clothes, especially if you're a petite person.
There is a side of me that does also crave what the "phablets" have to offer. So I will also have my Galaxy S8+ on hand. And I'll be returning to my 7 Plus in the Fall.

Who said radical? I said cleaner. And cleaner design is always better design.Right. Radical design /s
Or maybe the reports of failure aren't representative of owners in general. It could be the same reason why Samsung phones rank high on this list despite the opinion here of "Samdung" phones. ("Samdung" being the "Microshaft" epithet for a new millennium)
I will never leave the SE. I got a 6 plus on launch day. Downsized to the 6s when that came out because I thought it was too big. Handled an SE in a store and all the memories came back to me with how convenient it was. Got an SE a couple weeks later. I have a 7 in my bag for work but haven't turned it on in weeks. I couldn't image leaving this size and form factor.
Really surprised to see the iPhone 6 Plus ranked so high. That was by far the worst iPhone I've ever had, and I've owned most of them. I must have had a lemon.
My wife loves her iPhone SE. Swapping out her iPhone 5 for SE last year was a great call. The cost to performance ratio was insane. I hope Apple continues to update it at least every two years.

More so then a better contrast screen that's up to par with 7, alongside that I wish outdoors visibility was a lot better. In the day the screen is nott that bright outdoors
You like the SE that's great. But no need to knock everything else.
I have a 6 and a work issued SE - I much prefer the 6. My wife has a 6s, she's 50/50 about preferring the form factor of the SE or that of her larger phone - she has smaller hands. Unbelievably, different people like different things.
I also like my AirPods (the biggest "wow" moment tech wise I've had since Touch ID), iPad Pro (especially for work use) and Apple Watch from my other Apple products which were released recently.

Ah I'm part of this crowd, love my iPhone SE
I used to be a huge fan of big phones too, I was on the Galaxy Tab 7 (7" phone), than the ASUS PadFone (11" Laptop/Tablet Phone), than the Xperia Z Ultra (6.3" phone), than iPhone 6+... and finally went back to a super small phone (iPhone SE).
The main reason I went to smaller phones was simply because when I'm home, I'm on my iPad/MacBookMacMini, when I'm at work I'm on a MacBook... so it didn't make sense to carry a bulky phone around.
Although I wish the Apple Watch had a SIM so I didn't need to carry my phone around, than I finally have nothing in my pockets (my money is on Apple Pay, my phone is my watch).
/end of my long boring story
My story is the opposite. Really didn't like the thought of bigger phones (except for better battery). Thought I would miss 1 handed use. etc.
Bought the 6 at launch and after a few weeks (where I almost sold it) it really grew on me. Was going to get the 7 Plus last year but as the 6 is working so well and rumours of a 2017 redesign I held off. I also got an SE as my work handset, it's nice, but I much prefer the 6's screen real estate. I've found I use my iPad and MacBook less as a result of the bigger screen.
I'm glad Apple provide a choice though. Everyone can pick what works best for them. Hopefully the SE gets an update for those that prefer its form factor.
