    • So it’s just like my iPhone 8 but with a fast chip and improved camera. Hmmm, I like this.monospaced
    • ^Exactly why I like thisgrafician
    • Notch too bigNBQ00
    • Not sure why they didnt go full screeninstrmntl
    • Because it’s a budget SE phoneNBQ00
    • If it was full with FaceID, it would just be the iPhone 11 with a less fancy lens array and features, and cost 2-3x more.monospaced
    • Everything is already in place to build these. Saves a lot of money not updating the designnb

    • Innovation can be an omnidirectional my young @utopian.

      A budget-friendly phone in a world headed into (another) recession.

    • is it because of corona?drgs
    • I mean "financial crisis" editiondrgs
    • Apple and other brands were doing budget phones for years. Nothing new.NBQ00
    • It's not about price BUT form factor and features. The first iPhone SE was very successful! This will be too. Was planned, not a desperate move cuz of corona!grafician
    • I still use my original SE and will purchase this one for myself and one for the wifey. Been waiting for an upgrade.dasohr
    • Finallyyyyyyyy. Original SE user, looking to stay with a 1-handed phone.e-wo
    • I would agree, a smart move for Apple.utopian
    • where do they make them? isn't china under lockdown?uan
    • Is this supposed to be exciting?section_014
    • I know at least a half dozen SE users who have been waiting for this for years. They all have plenty of money to buy a new phone, but they all want a new SE.nb
    • A lot of people forget that most of us don't give a shit about what phone we have.nb
    • √ Small √ Cheap
      √ Fast √ Secure
      nb
    • sad to see the 5 design go.... but guessing the rest of the lineup is going to change to square edgeinteliboy
    • too much $ for what you get & how long it will last compared to other options out theremoldero
    • Wow an Apple at a Covid price!robotron3k
    • is it now made in San Francisco? Like really made there?fadein11
    • mold - iPhones last ages. I'm still on a four/five year old 7. Also good resell value.inteliboy
    • Yup, every iPhone I've had for ~4 years. I only trade up because the batteries are starting to at that point.evilpeacock
    • I'm still using my original SE, which is coming up on 4 years old now. I keep it cuz I like the size... and I'm cheap. This looks like a sweet upgrade!nocomply
    • Here in PT, it's starting at 499 euros... 20% more than in the US...dmay
    • That's because the Dollar is worth 10% more than the Euro right now.monospaced
    • I am debating between this phone and Mac Pro wheels, which are more expensive.zaq
    • Buy the wheels if you’re truly a Pronb
    • This is basically what would have been iPhone 8s only branded SE so they can cut the price in half without cheapening the iPhone brand.raf
    • It's good and they will sell tons of it but at this price you can get a new iPhone X, still a more advanced device for the most part.raf
    • This price is $400, and even the cheapest refurb iPhone X is $600, and has a slower processor. It's better than the X, just without Face ID.monospaced
    • You can get the X new outside of Apple for $400-450. Who cares about the processor if the UI runs smoothly? Also, X has optical zoom & better battery.raf
    • Spec comparison chart for 8, SE, X:

    • Touch ID and Face ID are very different iPhone experiences.raf
    • Processor is a lot as it is what will keep it speedy for years to come. Most specs are equivalent. And touch experience works with a mask and faceid does not.monospaced
    • Finally, no, you cannot find a new iPhone X for the same price. Used and refurb come close but only for 64Gb. And none with new or original accessories.monospaced
