Mini iPhone crowd is just not big enough for apple to consider enough to cover in the long term it seems. Don’t argue with me.Why?? Can't Apple just keep the Mini in the upcoming generations and just dumb it down to meet their bottom line? With the Mini, you have a bigger screen, smaller chassis, and lighter weight vs. the 2nd gen. SE.
Right now, if you make the memory equal, it is only a $200 more with Mini. Most people who are going for a mid-range phone are more likely going to make monthly payments anyway.
Tightening the margin to $100 difference = $4.16 more per month, Courage Apple, courage...
I can't wait to see the iPhone 6 design die... how long will it take!?
I have never gone beyond 32 myselfI got the 128gb in 2020 when it came out (upping from 64gb seemed a bargain at £50 extra) - but to be honest, I’m such a light user, 64gb would have been more than enough.
Get the current SE. You won't notice any difference between it and the 2022 model.Good news for me - I'm after something small to replace my aging iPhone 6s. I would definitely have gone for the latest iPhone mini, but the camera bump grew into such a stupidly huge thing that I just couldn't go for it.
That was over two years ago, homie. Let it go.
Still on the 2016 SE, but thinking of replacing the aging device.
I think the 13 Mini would be a better choice, as the SE2 is bigger than the SE1. The 13 Mini is closer in size.
I think I would miss the Touch ID and home button though.
At least 1 carrier has offered the 64GB version for FREE. Others have offered for $199.
Subjective in a sense to say ‘the best phone ever made.’wow if an updated 6 plus returns, instant buy.
Until then I'll just keep rocking my old 6s+, still the best overall phone ever made.
Because I’m a tech enthusiast. I like to see the market progress and more modern technology in the hands of everyone.If you aren't using it, why do you care? How does it effect you in anyway?
Anyway, until Apple can get its act together regarding PWM on their OLED iPhone screens, I am stuck with LCD....which sucks, but is still better than having to switch to Android I guess....
From my first computer, I would pay attention to the display, whether to work or play. I didn't pay much attention to how the computer looked. I feel the same way about cameras or most pieces of technology. The only time I would notice the surroundings is when I would drive a car.I find it funny that the people who complain about the "looks" of the SE are not the people who are buying them.
I'm quite happy with my 2020 SE.
I like the 2020 SE and also wanted to buy it for my mother to replace her much older iphone - she has an base iPad and the touch button is so familiar and easier for her to use. So same case as you, but here in my country the retail Price of the SE is approx 576 USD, which is about the same price or very close to what a new iPhone 11 is being sold for at several store. Which makes the SE a hard sell, and there hasnt really been any carries deals making it seems even more expensive compared to the new models - which of course could be due to the global situation.I bought my mom iPhone SE shortly after release and she’s really happy of it. She’s elderly person so I had wondered if she wouldn’t like to move to iPhone XR so I gave her my XS just to test gestures and she said it was a bit complicated to handle all gestures and the display itself was to big for her and proffered classic home button. She switched from iPhone 6S 16GB rose gold and was really happy but she’s misses RoseGold color a lot even today.
Honestly I think even though design of it is outdated, the price point is really good because for quite low price someone can enter apple ecosystem but I wish they introduced iPhone SE+ as a successor of iPhone SE 2gen and iPhone 8+ with dual camera setup. I had one back in the day and I loved it for other form factor.
In my country SE in menu carriers starts from 30$ in 2 years contract so I understand why so many of them choose iPhone now. Can’t wait for new generation
Recycling designs are not new.Because I’m a tech enthusiast. I like to see the market progress and more modern technology in the hands of everyone.
Seeing Apple recycle the same parts bin since 2014 while other budget phones actually bring new ideas to the table, you have to see why an enthusiast would be frustrated.
I for one hope they still provide a button option even if in the base/SE phone. Apple can keep trying to remove things under the guise of innovation until the iPhone is merely a bar of glass, but some basic interfaces are too useful to minimize-away.They should use the chasis for the X as the base for the SE model. Get rid of the dated look of the current SE. Apple is getting rid of the home button for pretty much everything else, might as well do it for the SE as well (or at least move it to the side in the power button like the ipad).
I'd still be on the OG SE, which I loved, except that OS updates about a year ago killed the battery life. I could literally watch it count down percentage.Can't speak for the 2016 SE,
Unfortunately for Mini fans, no, the rumor is that the flagship lineup in 2022 will feature two 6.1" models (one Pro and one non-Pro) and two 6.7" models (also one Pro and one non-Pro). No 5.4" model is rumored to be included in that upcoming lineup.“In terms of product development, Apple is staying with the plan to release its third-generation iPhone SE in 1Q22 and four models under a new series in 2H22”
That means we will still get a new mini
