The Dual SIM with eSIM is a nice touch - is this the first iPhone to get it?
No, it was introduced in the iPhone XS/XS Max.

#102So $400 equals roughly £320 and yet the retail price on the UK store is £419 🧐 https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-se/4.7-inch-...
Vat accounts for most the difference, plus any increase to buffer currency volatility and cover the extra consumer rights.

#103I don’t think I could go back to not having FaceID and having a physical home button. The size and the price is perfect though.

#104An upgraded iPhone 8 with a starting storage of 64 Gb at only $399. Seems like a great deal. Makes me seriously consider this model for my next phone instead of spending $1200 on an iPhone 11 Max.
Right. They seem to seriously be undermining their higher price point phone products. Although, this may be the time to do it given current market conditions.
I dont think I could ever go below the size of an iPhone X (5.8in vs 4.7in). That’s a pretty serious downgrade.
I think this competes better with people considering Android. You could do a lot with $400USD in that market.

#105As a current iPhone SE user, here's my assessment: Pros: * Feature set in terms of processor, camera, etc., is exactly what I want * Continued presence of Touch ID is a huge plus, I don't like Face ID * Price point is, admittedly, fantastic Cons: * Lack of headphone jack is still unacceptable * Form factor is, candidly, still too big for my tiny hands * Color schemes aren't as nice as the SE's (can I contribute to CO…
You might as well give up on the headphone jack bud. It ain't coming back.
I can accept a headphone jack is a premium thing, I can live without it, but it's another straw, along with the downgrade in size and cosmetics.

No Night Mode for the camera. It's disappointing that they're not enabling it, but I guess it's not surprising.

#107If the new one would have kept the design of the old one but added a full screen and updated cameras - that would have been perfect. I get the feeling that I'm part of a large niche with whom the old iPhoneSE saw success by accident.
Nah, I'm with you as well. Rounded edges? Thanks, hate 'em. If anyone knows of a case for the soap-phones that restores more of a hard edge so I can grip it with more confidence....
The glass back really helps grip it compared to the metal backs on the 6, 6s, and 7. Of course, any case with some rubber (like the Speck ones) are very grippy.

#108As much as I love apple products (I'm using mac and iPhone for years) I do think that the spark in their innovation is slowly fading.
I can't remember the last time they 'Wow'ed me.
Re: New iPhone SE
#109This is not a small phone. It's almost the same size as the Google Pixel 4 which has a 5.7" display. SE: 5.45" x 2.65" Pixel: 5.79" x 2.71"
This is the design the OG 5/5S owners like me disliked and bought SE later

My opinion continues to be as follows: As of January 2020, there is nothing any phone manufacturer has added that I would be willing to exchange my headphone jack for. Until that changes, I will either stick with my iPhone 6S, or upgrade to the best Android phone with a headphone jack available at my time of purchase.
I'd like to have a phone with a better screen and a nicer camera, and I'd even be willing to pay a lot of money for one, but those features just aren't worth the loss of my headphone jack.
The one thing I could see being worth my headphone jack is a folding screen, but it seems like we're still a ways away from those being durable enough. (And if some company does ever decide to put a headphone jack in a folding phone, that's the one I'll buy.)
