          mir, 01 Jan 2017Apple should really push for an iphone SE successor.Good thought. OK now I'll make a possible/dream iPhone SE 2017

          Apple A10 Fusion
          iPhone 7 Camera with dual LED Flash (quad LED flash would need a slight redesign of the back)
          same back as predecessor and refreshed front (iPhone SE 2016 had same front and refreshed back) including
          3D Touch Display & Home Button
          7MP front camera from iPhone 7
          Same display technology as iPhone 7 scaled down to SE resolution
          Stereo speakers with same sized earpiece (so it means they would be a little bit worse but at least they are there. Also, a bigger earpiece would mess up the design)
          headphone jack for the conservative iPhone users
          slightly, very slightly reduced side bezels so that the phone is smaller but still every case fits perfectly, like 0,1mm narrower
          top and bottom bezel 0,05mm slimmer and thickness 0,1 smaller so that it is smaller in every dimension
          some grams lighter
          again little bigger battery, about 30 mAh bigger
          32 and 64 GB options
          colors: iPhone-7-black, silver, gold (maybe a little bit lighter and softer), rose gold
          Price: 32GB replacing 16GB at being $ 50 cheaper, 64GB also $ 50 cheaper so $ 349 and $ 399

          *dream*
          pre-installed screen protector like OnePlus phones used to have it and continuing this on every new iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, iPod touch (if there will be one, but now the SE would approach the cheap regions of iPod touch so it wouldn't be necessary anymore), MacBooks, iMacs
          Black packaging for the black model (iPhone 7 black just has white box. Jet black only has black box)
          7000 series aluminum, but that would make the phone much heavier, so I listed it under dream

          So that's about it. A sweet little update and upgrade to the iPhone SE while making it cheaper so that it can compete even better with affordable flagships like OnePlus 3T

              mir, 01 Jan 2017Apple should really push for an iphone SE successor.Agreed. They really should, as it could be a very big success, especially if they stick with the iPhone SE's original release price.

                      Well Freedom 251 was a total scam. After 3 months of waiting the CEO said that the company requires a funding of Rs.50 Crore by the government (Roughly US$7.36 Million). So why were they fooling about the phone being under assembly in the factory? Made the entire country a big chu*iya!
