For this price you're better off with any other brand. You get a free lightning to jack adapter? Then what was the point of removing mini jack in the first place? Oh yeah, can't have profit from patents you don't own. See, Apple doesn't care what customers want, as long as they can squeeze every last penny from their blind worshippers.

Throw A10 at Android and it'll be slower that 820, maybe even 810. Same goes if you do it all the way around, throw 820 or latest Exynos at iOS, and it'll score much higher than A10. That's how benchmarks are irrelevant. Apple's chip "appears" faster, because iOS is as simple as a broomstick. There's nothing in it, no way of customizing it, unlike Android, that's filled with options. Benchmark scores can be very misleading if you don't understand how OS works.

        The phone was not very small. Only the display was small.
        And of course Apple can not make another sequel of SE, because it was a sequel of two very old models.
        To make it, Apple should make new body design with everything inside rearranged and even display. No...it's not Apple style for making profit.

Apple would sell a lot of them.

                    Quality is still worse through the adapted.
                    You can't charge your phone while listening through the audio jack.
                    Everything is a compromise in their evil eco-system.

I consider square edge body design better as they dont need any cases or cover to protect due to better grip. All i phone plus models have 5.5" screens with brick like weight and huge bezels. A 5" or 5.2" SE model would fill the gap in screen size and bring new customers who would like different design and size.

                            The iPhone SE needs upgrading to 4.3" screen, but not until the SE is two or three years old.

                              Makes more sense for apple for bring out a 5" model instead, keep the 4.7 for lower tier and 5 and 5.5" for top

                                I don't see why Apple need to. It's a $400 phone with a chip that's still faster than many of today's Android flagships. Besides, if they updated it, what will happen to the 6S? It's going to be weird to have a cheaper phone that's faster than your middle line up (just like last year).
