It looks like a good value but they waited too long. My younger son got the hand me down 7 Plus when I gave my older son my old X. The A10 Fusion and A11 Bionic are still pretty good.
 
Though I'd rather see the 4" FF, this represents a great value and smack those mid-range Android devices.

On a separate note WTF is up with that Apple overview page for the SE... it's like the web designers and engineers said how much bling, animation and annoyance can we inflict on the user to show how cool we are... an analogy would be:

It violates so many basics of good UX principles that I stopped counting (red reference - used to work for a top design firm, that was Apple's first as well...)
 
In Romania its 486 euros (408 euros + 19% VAT) for the 64 Gb variant.

I’m not an expert but someone was mentioning the removal of 3D touch and and miniaturization of other components
Yes, but don't forget they added wireless charging components and possibly other stuff as well.

Tee hee. Yeah that overview page is carnival barker levels of in your face. It's ALL CAPS brought to life. Well they definitely can't be accused of not trying to get the word out. :D

Goodbye iPhone 6 Plus, my first smartphone. I'm ready for the speed upgrades, better camera, and finally being able to update my Series 4 WatchOS!

Looking forward to having my whole music collection on this white 256GB, pocketable baby! Not paying over $700 for a phone feels amazing!

Pre-ordered white 128 GB (SIM-free) at 5:02 AM PST.

Will definitely be the fastest iPhone to date due to smallest screen size.

You’re a good example of Apples target demographic for this phone. You still have the advantage of having touch ID, [which has completely matured over the years], and in a smaller form factor for an affordable price point that will serve you for at least five years if you want this phone too. Enjoy.
 
It has exactly the same battery as the iPhone 8.
Why would you think they could fit a larger battery into the same body?
I'm trying to understand where is this surprise coming from.
It’s literally the only negative talking point they could come up with. But the memo obviously went out, you see the complaint constantly.

My counter argument is that the run times are almost as good as the iPhone 11—even though the 11 has upwards of twice the battery capacity (1.7x).

iPhone 11: 17 hrs video playback, 10 hours streaming video. 3110 mAh battery.

iPhone SE: 13 hrs video playback, 8 hours streaming video. 1821 mAh battery.

Not gonna lie tempted to preorder a white SE2 to migrate from XR but I go back and forth

love my blue XR it’s just a bit unwieldy at times and I really liked my se1 still have it just wonder if it’s the right move or not hmm

the price is fantastic tho and I have a giftcard but may wanna use that on a flagship later this year

Touch ID has its merits
