Slip to May? Lmao. Just go but an iPhone 7 or or 8
Apple began accepting pre-orders for the new iPhone SE on Friday morning, and hours later, delivery estimates for the device have slipped to the first week of May in the United States for any color, storage, and carrier combination.
The new iPhone SE remains available for Friday, April 24 launch day delivery in some other countries, including Australia and the United Kingdom.
While the extended shipping estimates could be interpreted as a sign of strong demand, there is simply no way of knowing how many iPhone SE units that Apple stockpiled before announcing the device, especially since the global health crisis significantly disrupted the company's supply chain in February and part of March.
The new iPhone SE can be pre-ordered on Apple.com in the United States and more than 40 other countries and regions. Pricing starts at $399 for 64GB of storage, with 128GB and 256GB options available for $449 and $549 respectively.
The second-generation iPhone SE has a similar design as the iPhone 8, including a 4.7-inch display and a Touch ID home button, but it has a faster A13 Bionic chip. Other features of the device include a single-lens 12-megapixel Wide rear camera with Portrait mode support, wireless charging, IP67-rated water resistance, and Wi-Fi 6.

Paying more for older tech etc. when you can get something cheaper that will meet your needs with updated tech is not very logical.
I'm someone who uses both mobile OSs without fanboying (they both have their pros and cons) and was looking for a cheap Apple phone this year. This phone looks great, even though it has a home button... What were they thinking? Anyways, I may pick one up... Once Goldman can verify my identity. Which may never be the case.
Some people, like me, prefer a home button. And some folk, like my wife, could not care less one way or another. Obviously there is a market for a phone with a home button, or at least a market for home button tolerance, otherwise people would not be ordering this phone.
Wait, you’re saying you can talk on these things? What’s the app for that?

Clearly they were thinking ahead - this phone you can unlock without removing your CDC-recommended face mask.
Shoot! Just checked and my oder slipped from April 23-27 to May 4-6. However, the case is still scheduled to arrive between April 23-27. 😂
That describes me to a T since the SE is going to replace my flip-phone/iPod Touch combo. I would love to see an iPhone the same size and weight as an iPod Touch but think that's ever going to happen.
For older folks like my mother-- the physical home button is a plus. Trying to explain how to reset a iPhone with no home button would be a challenge.
Oh, it has a home button? I didn't realize that, so that makes sense. It is a somewhat steep learning curve for the non-home button iPhones for some people.
I ordered Saturday afternoon for my mother in law from Verizon, black 128gb and it shows to arrive on the 24th. I wish I had gone ahead and bought her case and screen protector earlier in the week though because Amazon doesn't show those items to ship until early May now.
So do I go ahead and give her the phone or wait? Didn't trade her old SE so I guess it doesn't matter.

Tough call. My mom could figure out a way to kill any phone, cased or not. What was weird is that she never dropped and broke a phone. It was always other ways of destruction. She washed, and dried her iPhone. The weird part was it survived the experience and was working, but wouldn't respond to the screen. I was shocked that it survived. She wanted a new iPhone, but I got her the 'low dollar' replacement through AT&T. That one didn't survive a toilet dive...

I tore the house apart looking for an old 6 cover but I haven't had that phone in about 3.5 years; I must have tossed the ones I had. She has a 6S for work with a case that was about in need of replacing so I modified the back camera area to fit the 2020 SE and did happen to find a glass screen protector for it. Her new cases and screen protectors came in early, arrived yesterday, so she only had to go a little less than a week with no case on her 6S work phone and an unattractively modified case on her 2020 SE. We figured the glass-back 2020 SE was more important than the aluminum back 6S work phone. Now she is set for the next 4-5 years hopefully.
Sorry you had to spend so much time to respond to my one line response. Shows how much it means to you. Take care.

it took me 30 seconds to type that out. no problem for me. your one line response was so pathetic that I just had to respond. take care.
what was your goal telling us there's more important things to worry about on a MAC Rumors site? You do know this forum is about Mac hardware and software correct? I couldn't find a coronavirus forum anywhere. Perhaps start a thread on Reddit?
I'm certain the majority on here would rather talk about Mac stuff. You're the latest to join my ignore list. I'm trying to improve my experience on this site and whenever I see stupidity, my list grows. Congrats!

Very true. Apple trying to squeeze every last penny from us. Nothing new.
