It was a cost cutting decision, as they gave SE fastest chipset, ip68 and wireless charging, all blank fields in most midrangers. Mi 11 Lite 5G is one of thinnest phones ever (6.8mm) yet it's battery is 2.5 times SE's and it fits a pretty fast chipset.

Why can't they put the touch ID to the side of the screen and avoid the bezels?
And they still using 720p screen!

Prototype, 08 Oct 2021With no big battery this will be a instant failure! The SE phones are successful enough to justify having a 3rd iteration. They won't overshadow the main line iPhones of course, but they're not meant to. If you want an example of a product not relevant enough for Apple to care about anymore, take a look at iPods. Those things haven't had an update in ages.

Just shrink the 11 or XR to a smaller size so it at least doesn’t look outdated.

There's 5.5 inch phones with 5000math batteries and with a smaller screen to power you don't need as big a battery. There's much more to consider. Prime example being software optimization.

This is basically just for Apple to have 5G across the board. But they make it so unusable that people will end up spending more for the more expensive iPhone anyway.
When marketing takes precedence.

Remove the physical home button, lessen the bezel a bit, and put dual front firing speakers top and bottom that are symmetrical in length, and you'll have a perfect notchless beautiful design.

I always try to own the smallest model. With that, I would experience the shortest battery life. Smallest battery equates to worst battery life. The only way to resolve this would be a thicker phone but people will whine about that.
Pro Max is the way to go. SE line is the way to go for cheapest and being one of the smallest but expect the worst battery life. I actually prefer the non-X design although the SE 3 is using an 8-year-old design by the time it's released.

Mampara, 08 Oct 2021Smaller bezels would have been welcomed along with bigger b... more"But that'd require re-tooling, change in process, a new screen, changing the internal layout, etc which would cost BILLIONS, so NO you would only have the 8 year old design"
It's not that we don't have buttcrap load of 🤑💰💸, but we like to keep it for ourselves, and you'd anyway buy it regardless bcoz it's got the A15 Bionic and the familiar iconic design, the best camera, 64GB nvme storage, . . . . . . and what are your other options anyway?

I'm a tech enthusiast who prefers Android over iOS any day for obvious reasons and have wanted to use an iPhone for a while now.
If this is true and Apple does truly launch and sell a rebranded iPhone 8 a THIRD time, then I'll need to cast aside my issues with Apple and study their history very well because then they are doing or have done something to get very loyal fans who genuinely believe LCD @ 60Hz is superior to OLED @ 120Hz!
We just have to wait and see

I really wish to see this rumour come true and see people using this shit even in '25!
Lmao, there's certainly no limit to what people will buy as long as it's 'Designed by crApple in Cali'-'Made in China', god save this earth from such dimwits/sheep with blind loyalty
