No SE 2? :(

[camaroz1985]

Hopefully those rumors are true, and it isn't just a new plant to make the same SE that we currently have for the India market.

Hopefully it's not true...
The SE is an iconic design and a lot of consumers love it!

 

[camaroz1985]

I don't care as much about design as I do about function. I would like to see 3D touch and waterproofing. If it is the same design with upgraded internals that is fine, but if the exterior needs to change (in design, not size) then I would be ok with that too.

Yeah
There were rumours on how they were going to make a 4" with the iPhone 6 design.

 

[camaroz1985]

I would be fine with that too. As long as the screen stays around 4-4.3" and the overall size is about the same, I will buy it. I would pre-order it actually.

I most certainly like the design of SE. I wouldn't be disappointed if there was no upgrade to it this year. I can wait

It's a matter of time before Apple announces something new

The SE was suppose to fill the gap so that people who could not afford the regular iPhone has an alternative iPhone to buy. Usually, it for people that just needed a cheap phone and wanted an iPhone. I think Apple found out that these buyers are the ones that do not spend a lot of money and so they will not be making a budget phone going forward.

Apple already knew well in advance that the SE would appeal to two groups of users: those unwilling/unable to purchase one of their flagship models and those who like the smaller screen and form factor. So the SE fills a very important gap for Apple. Moreover, it has actually sold pretty well. I’d be shocked if they didn’t release a new model in the near future.

Agree. The growth (physical) of phones has gotten ridiculous for many of us. We don't want to lug around a flat screen TV so we can text and email. With the new iPad Pro's doing well, I think the SE makes a great partner. Most of my more serious work is done on my IPP which I only bring with me if I need to. The MBP stays at home.

I can afford the top of the line phones but refuse to pay ridiculous prices and don't like the larger form factor anyway. I think many people feel similar.

Agreed. It's always nice to have different options to meet different consumers preferences. And I feel that the SE is still a fantastic option for a lot of users.

Exactly my point as well. It isn't a budget thing for me. If the small phone was the same cost as a regular (4.7" iphone), and had similar specs, I would buy the smaller one every time.

FYI, SE 2 launching early next year.

Apple to release a revamped iPhone SE early next year – BGR

No sign of this yet.

 

[Quis89]

Fingers crossed for an SE2. My son needs a new phone so this is what we are holding out for. Otherwise will probably look into a refurb 6S.

 

[Annie_M]

I'm really hoping that Apple with come out with a new version of the SE, because so many people prefer it's size. Time will tell!

 

[eve6er69]

Is an se2 came out with force touch i would be all over it! That’s the only thing that I don’t like between the 6s and se

 

[libra89]

Now Forbes is saying that it might make an appearance at the Education event next Tuesday but even the writer of the article doubts it. I'm with him.

All we can do is wait and see...

 

[etad putta]

If it's going to be in the 700-800 dollar price range it will make no sense.

 

[etad putta]

The new SE2 will have a 4.2 inch screen and cost $400? Not sure it's a big deal or not....iPhone SE 2 Specs, Features: Apple Device Reportedly Produced Exclusively In India

 

[krishnansasikumar]

That would be a great price if the base storage is 64gb. I'd pay $500 and get the 128gb then
