New iPhone SE Now Available to Pre-Order

[MacRumors]

The new iPhone SE is now available to pre-order from Apple 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 first deliveries to customers and in-store availability at select resellers will begin Friday, April 24.

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.

Given its lower price point, the new iPhone SE lacks some premium features of iPhone 11 Pro models, including an OLED display, stainless steel frame, Face ID, and a triple-lens rear camera. The device also lacks a headphone jack.

The new iPhone SE is available to pre-order on Apple.com and in the Apple Store app in black, white, or (PRODUCT)RED. Customers can get 3% Daily Cash when they buy the device from Apple using the Apple Card.

Don't see anything else new except iPhone se. No air tags or 14" MBP. Bummer.

 

[RJ_Online93]

What the... a shutdown for a cheap iPhone.

 

[TantalizedMind]

This phone looked very promising until the news it had an 1,800 mah battery.

Order complete (64GB Black) ... good riddance iPhone 6s.

This is going to be a successful product for Apple, especially for people tired of $1,000+ smart phones.

 

[azentropy]

White 64GB ordered! Going retro as my first iPhone (the 3g) was white with black bezels.

 

[JosephAW]

Well at least it comes with wired earbuds and 5w power charger. Too bad they didn't come with wireless buds.

 

[HappyIntro]

Order complete.

Agreed, this phone is just what Apple needed to offer during this uncertain economic time. I just purchased one as a gift and it feels like I'm actually getting a good value.

 

[stu.h]

Ordered a few white 64gb se2 for family members. Date not slipped as yet.
Guessing it won’t be as popular as the more powerful phones, but will be a great seller regardless.

 

[Supermacguy]

Ordered! Black 128.... its an easy upsell only $50 more to get almost the same storage as the last old classic iPod capacity! The new SE is quite a bargain, considering the processor and storage.

 

[JosephAW]

I know this sounds crazy but I was hoping for a 16gb model for $299.
My work iPhone only needs a few apps.

 

[rk-apple]

Upgraded both of my kids' iPhone 6. I suspect there will be a lot of upgrades like this -- and more over time when out economy heals.

Yeah.. no.

 

[lkalliance]

Order is in! Red 128GB. Replacing my trusty 2016 SE, which will live on as my step-son’s first iPhone.

 

[veth]

Just ordered a 128GB red SE2. My original SE size will be missed.

 

[corinhorn]

Just ordered a 256GB white. This will be my first smart phone. I'm pregnant with anticipation.

I survived on 16 GB for years when Apple even discontinued that storage model. Even on 32 GB, I could still survive if I wanted to. The only concern I would have with something that ‘low’ of storage, would be the initialization of software updates are more consuming, plus applications/media quickly can consume your storage, even though I have very few intensive applications on my phone.

I've only had one iPhone (the original SE), and there's no way on Earth my finances could stretch to anything from the more expensive range. The new SE is really the only option for me, even though I know there are some compromises.

It's good that Apple offer a way in for folks with limited finances like me. I've ordered mine.

 

[Tarrou8]

Ordered 128GB (Black), and looking forward to trading in my current XR for something more practical.

 

[Freida]

Please don't even go there! Its 2020 and we are happy that Apple is finally making 64gb standard. Don't give them ideas its ok to go back to 16gb or this whole forum will eat you alive including myself

[HobbesInVA]

Got the wife a Red 128gb to replace her iPhone 8 (64 gb)

Are you trying to make a $400 phone into a $600 phone?....

 

[JosephAW]

Next week the other shoe will drop for the iPhone SE Plus.

 

[MoreRumors?]

Hmmm, very tempting to buy a new phone now but I am going to wait to see the iPhone 12.

Order complete (64GB Black) ... good riddance iPhone 6s.

This is going to be a successful product for Apple, especially for people tired of $1,000+ smart phones.

I agree and there are some folks who may not care about the camera and not wanting to pay more for it.

 

[Freida]

Absolutely, I've just ordered 128gb red one and I totally agree. I'm fed up with $1000+ phones which offer very little more.
This is pretty much 11 Pro without few things that don't really affect our daily lives. 11 Pro would be almost 2.5x more expensive than this. So yeah, if Apple keeps this line and will update it once every 3-4 years then I will never buy flagship phone ever again. The prices just got out of hand.
