So $400 equals roughly £320 and yet the retail price on the UK store is £419 🧐 https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-se/4.7-inch-...
399$ equals 365.88€. With German VAT it's 435.40€ which is somewhat close to the 479€ Apple is asking for.

Re: New iPhone SE
#112I use Pixel 4, and I absolutely hate not having a fingerprint sensor.
Cons:
* At night it doesn't work, because I am laying on the bed and half my face is covered.
* It doesn't work when I am not wearing my glasses. Annoying when I have just woken up or going to bed and want to check a quick notification.
* Sometimes it unlocks by itself even if I don't want it to.
For the headphone jack, I got a cheap USB-C ones and couldn't be happier. Bluetooth just doesn't work all the time. It sometimes refuses to pair for random reasons, specially if you paired it with something else, you can never be sure its charged enough, easy to forget it turned on and have the batteries depleted etc etc.

#113As 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.
other phones never got rid of it, such as the lg v-series, and other phones have brought it back, such as the sony xperia 1 ii. these phones are just as thin or thinner than the iPhones with the same ip rating.
why is this downvoted? these are facts. i just presented some examples from other manufacturers.
Re: New iPhone SE
#114Fantastic specs for a fantastic price! I wonder what effect this will have on the other mobile manufacturers.

FWIW I've got some wired headphones I really love and I bought a dongle for them when I got my iPhone XS in 2018. I really don't notice it; it just feels like an extension of the cord.

As a non-iPhone user, the standout feature to me is the 16:9 display. I'm so sick of phones with absurdly tall screens and dearly wish I could get an android with flagship internals and a 16:9 screen.

#117Carrying on with the 2019 iPad Mini wifi + a $25 Nokia dumbphone.

And give up on the screen size. The number of people who want a phone to fit in their hands and pockets is effectively zero compared to people who want huge screens to scale up content size or watch videos on their commute.
Not only that, but as an SE owner I can attest that many apps and web pages have more or less broken UIs on its screen. And I can't blame creators for not wanting to spend effort on a form factor with small and diminishing user share.

#119On a different note, Isn't it weird to see companies launching new phones when the whole world is fighting a pandemic? It's not like an essential that we can't live without. OnePlus just did a few days back. Do these companies expect people to buy new phones when they're are being laid off or is it just an annual ritual or a desparate move to be the first to capture the market when things become normal? Any insights…
People who have been able to afford overpriced hardware before the pandemic will still be able to do so. No reason to postpone the launch for them.
Re: New iPhone SE
#120An 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.
A while ago I quit buying new models and switched to refurbished ones. The 7 I had did more or less what its predecessor did (car services, chat, remote camera control) and the one I have now (X or Xs?) does more or less what the 7 did. I can afford the newer ones, but I don't see the value relative to the four-figure cost.
Doesn’t really seem worth it to me, you get multiple years less of updates, slower hardware, and worse battery life for what, like $200 saved over the XR?
