It's what I'm in market for I think. I have a 6s+, and having handled a iPhone 8 recently it made me miss the smaller form factor. But, having a screen size similar to mine, in a small body sounds about perfect. (I want the better double cameras that will hopefully come with this, and I want 256gig ). For around $800, that's a week three buy for me (after I see reviews).
I like the larger ones but 6.7!?! How big will they go?? I think my Pro Max is about as big as I would want to go, especially pockets wise.
Exactly. That's the whole reason I passed on X. I didn't like it on SG8+ either. I prefer wider so the text is bigger.
And this is the exact reason they would avoid it. People buy the 800+ because they're the only choice. If there is suddenly a 400-500 range, people will buy those instead of the higher ones. Although, profit would be the bigger factor than the price. Lower with about the same profit could be good if it pulls other OS people over to Apple with the lower pricing.
Flagship phone at 5.5 inch. This will be close to unique and nitch market for Apple.
Japanese site Mac Otakara today shared a somewhat confusing rumor about Apple's 2020 iPhone lineup, suggesting the 5.4-inch iPhone that Apple is working on will be sized similarly to the iPhone 8.
Citing Apple suppliers exhibiting at CES, Mac Otakara says that Apple "might be developing Face ID models beside Touch ID models as an updated version of iPhone 8."
This confusingly seems to refer to the low-cost "iPhone SE 2" or iPhone 8 successor Apple has in development, but a further mention of the 5.4-inch iPhone with Face ID suggests that it actually refers to the higher-end 5.4-inch device rumored for the fall of 2020.Prior rumors have indicated that Apple is working on devices in multiple sizes for its flagship 2020 iPhone lineup, including a 5.4-inch iPhone, a 6.1-inch iPhone (or two devices in this size, based on one rumor), and a 6.7-inch iPhone.
Mac Otakara says that the 5.4-inch iPhone will have an iPhone 7 body size and a rear camera that's "much bigger compared to iPhone 8." By using the TrueDepth camera system and eliminating the Home button, the display's active area measures in at 5.4 inches, though the device's size will be similar to the iPhone 8.
The iPhone 8 (and the iPhone 7) features a 4.7-inch display along with thick top and bottom bezels that provide room for the front-facing camera and the Home button. By eliminating the bezels, Apple can offer a larger display in a smaller body. The 5.4-inch iPhone will be the smallest iPhone Apple has offered since the 2017 iPhone 8.
There are mixed iPhone rumors right now, but in a nutshell, it seems that Apple will release four to five new iPhones in 2020. The first will come in the spring of 2020 and will be an "iPhone SE 2" or iPhone 8 successor is meant to be a low-cost iPhone with Touch ID and a single-lens camera. This iPhone won't have Face ID and will continue to have thick top and bottom bezels.
In the fall, Apple will introduce three or four new flagship iPhones in 5.4, 6.1, and 6.7-inch size options, and these iPhones will feature edge-to-edge displays, 5G connectivity, multi-lens cameras, and more. Early rumors suggested we should expect three iPhones in the fall of 2020, but a JPMorgan analyst recently said there could potentially be two 6.1-inch iPhones, a prediction that was quickly corroborated by noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Apple's 2020 fall lineup will be similar to the 2019 iPhone lineup, with iPhones available at multiple price points starting at around $700, while the rumored early 2020 iPhone 8 successor could be priced as low as $399.

after owning an ipad, i want a smaller iphone.SE user, I can live with that. Full camera setup would be nice, but it’s still an improvement
Because you don't hear people saying it means they don't want it? Exhibit A are iPhone sales since iPhone 6....proving people want larger screens.
Sure, some people want it. But how many? That’s the key.
There’s a 5.1” iPhone 12? Who told you that?
The confusing part is six phones. I don’t think there’s any chance of Apple expanding from three to six models this year, but who knows? However, nobody has said that afaik.
It won’t really be a flagship, since it won’t have the triple camera or the time of flight sensor. Other differences no doubt from the $1,000+ flagships. It’ll be around $700 I would think.Flagship phone at 5.5 inch. This will be close to unique and nitch market for Apple.
I still have my SE around as a utility device, and honestly it's fine. I sometimes wonder about my decision to go to the 8. The 8 is faster, has way better speakers, way better camera, and the touch ID is a bit quicker. I still miss the headphone jack, though. A true iPhone SE with an edge-to-edge screen would be my perfect iPhone, for sure.
I don’t think you’re going to have much luck starting that rumor.
Sounds like you might have some inside information?
Go look at the numbers on Statista. I suspect they sold at least 40-50 million SE’s. Possibly even changed their ASP enough they did not want to sell it anymore. And let’s be real, it was never meant to be a flagship.
