Sadly I think the latest rumours were that they’d use the Xr/11 chassis for the new SE. hopefully not because if they use the 12/13 mini… oh boy it’d be great
That would be unfortunate, I always saw the SE as not only the cheapest but also the smallest model but I guess it’s really just a way for them to use up old parts?
Yeah that’s exactly what it is and why it’s cheap. They have a bunch of leftover or recycled chassis that they can shove new guts into and sell for cheaper.
I’m hoping against hope that Google copies Apple and turns the Pixel 5 into a mold for the Google version of Pixel SE. I know it’s not happening, but that phone is close to perfect for me, it’s still my daily driver. Just give me a P5 SE with updated guts every two or three years.
Thing is, very few people bought the small phone. The community that wants them is very vocal, but they don’t show up in big numbers at the cash register.
They didn’t keep i around long enough to really know how they would show up. I was planning to keep my iPhone XS for as long as it would last, because the only thing I care about is having a smaller phone, and if I couldn’t have that I didn’t see a point in spending any money. However, when the 12 mini dropped, I bought it right away. When the 13 mini came out I skipped it at the time, since I only get upgrades through work every 2 years. I would have bought an iPhone 14 if there was a mini version, there wasn’t. I would have bought a 15 if there was a mini version, but there wasn’t.
Right after I finished watching the iPhone 15 event I placed my order for an iPhone 13 mini and I plan to run that thing into the ground. I am a 1 feature buyer. If they released an iPhone 15 mini Pro fro $2,000… I’d buy it today.
It’s probably not gonna happen but maybe they’ll fill that gap with the next iPhone SE
