Can’t say I get the appeal of an “SE Plus” either, but…there’s most likely a market segment out there that would pay $50 for a bigger screen. Still far, far cheaper than their other big-screen devices. I can see it happening.I really don't get the point of an iPhone SE plus that is the same form factor as the older 6,7,8 Plus size phones. To me, the appeal of the SE is:
To me, the iPhone 12 Mini is more the form factor that I would like to see in the next SE. Of course, Apple would have to compromise on some of the components to keep the price down. In a couple of years, this might be possible.
- Pocket-ability
- One-Handed Operation
- Good Hardware at a Great Value
Unfortunately, doubt we’ll see the 12 mini form factor on an ”SE” for at least 2-5 years. There are people who still want the home button, and packing the 12-series tech (reminder, this phone is on par with the 12 Pro) into the 12 mini’s form factor took serious innovation that Apple is looking to make serious returns on, for itself and for its shareholders. Big screens came to define smartphone ”luxury” over the last few years, but ironically, this product is a luxury in and of itself.
