If they price this device 250$ then will destroy high end line completely.400$ is great price tag and offer best chipset on the market. I just can't get smartphone with 16:9 screen ratio,and is blame for someone to produce this device in 2019.
Man no apple phone made from used parts with faulty warrannty will destroy anything not a high end tier not even midrangers.
I run a phone shop here in my country with 40 small stores around slovakia and czech republic. And once (for about 2 years) we had for sale Iphones made of spare parts.
Man to be honest with you 50% of phones sold this way went for repair within a week when angry customer came back for complains to fullfill his warranty.
And about 90% went withing 3 months period.
usualy with battery problems which could not hold the charge for more than 2-3 hours, charging problems or screen which was going black.
Some of these spare iphones could not even run after clicking the powerbutton.
Thanks no.
Rather would pick Xiaomi 8A for 100 than having a Iphone SE2 made from spare parts for 400. Even for 75% duiscount will be too expensive with above said prebulescent problems of phones made of spare used parts.

PartTimePhoner, 14 Oct 2019They probably trimmed something behind the scene. Thats wha... moreYes but that was 3 years ago, when the cheapest iPhone 6s 16gb cost 649$.
That phone will start AT LEAST at 499$ or even 599$.

Popy, 15 Oct 2019If they designed it in the very small form 4.7" form factor... moreApple has a misconception that with it's logo they could sell anything rubbish like this. However, people who are not much into tech will follow them blindly.

Apple, please check the market before designing something like iPhone SE2, and do understand that just with a logo you cannot sell any shit.

This will sell well. This is a good move by Apple.
Mostly to people who still have the original iPhone SE or the ones who want to just experience the iOS for the first time. Or if they still have the iPhone 5/6/7 and dislike the idea of spending a fortune on iPhone 11/pro/Max...
But some dealbreakers for me are:
Screen resolution
No dual camera
The A13 chipset is a beast tho, and 5 years of software support is also good, only if you'll pay for a battery replacement tho, because 2/3 years of use will have some major impact on your battery...

Had a lot of anticipation regarding iPhone SE2, but with the latest rumours, I am really frustrated. Who needs a phone without a notch in 2020, and why people should choose a phone which takes extra space from their screens just for a home button.
Compact size is a very good idea, however, notch display provides better screen area within small boundaries. Coming to storage, it's absurd to sell a phone with 64GB storage, 128GB is the minimum standards.

They axe the iPhone 8 256GB option, and the XR 256GB option .. when 11 came out.
Pushing you to buy the 256GB 11 models.
People who buy SE most likely will come from Androids or first timer.. long time Apple user will not be interested in SE 64GB or 128GB..

PartTimePhoner, 15 Oct 2019But starting point is 64?I am talking in the consumer point of view.. controlled by the storage.
For Apple side, the longer you produce something, the cheaper it gets. So they do not need to trim anything. By the time SE is due for production.. there's tons of A13 lying around.. The iPhone 8 shell also alot.. so can sell cheaper.
Their A8 processor for instance, was used in iPad mini / Apple tv / and so many of their products.

PartTimePhoner, 15 Oct 2019But tjats what we have with iphone 11 series too?Yes. iPhone 11 max out at 256GB, compared to the pro at 512GB.
iPad mini 5 max out at 256GB.. (128GB with the mini 4), compared to iPad Pro 1TB.
Each tier have lower storage options.
This way, for people who buy the Pro series, will get lockdown to Pro series in the future, as if they use up all their storage (512GB i.e.), their next phone need to be 512GB, else they lose data when they do a backup restore. Of course if you only use 64GB of your 512GB.. you can still restore on a 64GB phone.
So if they launch iPhone SE at 128GB.. people with 256GB iPhone 11 / Pros will be less willing to buy, as the storage is insufficient.

Dont care about specs, camera, screen etc. I only care about size and battery. If they release this with an iphone 8 body then im gonna pass. Might as well buy another SE when my current one dies.
