As 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…

Repeating myself here but for me FaceID actually does feel like an improvement, despite my many doubts about it in the beginning. Yes there are some occasions where it doesn't work well (when you're trying to unlock the phone without looking at it properly) but there are also many occasions where it works much better. Most of the time my phone now unlocks so smoothly that I don't even realise it was locked. I just ta…
If there were a quick way to switch over to pin input, and furthermore the pin input would constantly be looking for your face rather than needing to switch out of pin mode to try for faceid, it might be okay. Two situations make faceid unusable: 1. I’m in bed and bedding materials occlude my face. 2. I’m using my hair to purposefully occlude my face in areas with public surveillance In both of these situations touch…

My SE broke recently and I had to switch to iPhone 8 (They stopped selling SE by then in India). I am able to manage but the form factor is no where as comfortable as the old SE.
>> Price point is, admittedly, fantastic
True for the developed nations but still on the higher side for India and South East Asia. If they could price it at 299 in India it will sell like hot cakes here but iPhone always misses the bus here in India.
How come that the "white" variant is not "white" on the front side? Like it has always been the case until iPhone 8? This is a huge disappointment for me. The big reason to have white screen borders is to reduce contrast to light screen backgrounds, which is so much easier on the eyes when reading. And also, white front side is a design classic. Its removal is even a reason for me not to buy the new SE2.
Cheaper to mass produce. Same front for all 3 devices.

It isn't about the screen size - it's about the external dimensions. This is almost as large as the Pixel 4A, Samsung S10e or iPhone 11. You are only saving a couple grams and a few mm. Hopefully the Sony Xperia 5 II comes out soon - it should be smaller than this.
> almost as large as ... iPhone 11 See https://www.apple.com/iphone-se/specs/ for a comparison. It's at least a quarter smaller in both dimensions.

No 5G support seems a bummer (can't see any mention it on the page). DOA for me for that fact alone. Hoping the new iPhones in September have it.
There are plenty of reasons to dislike the new iPhone SE, but I don't think lack of 5G should be one.
