I don't buy a phone to performance at 400$, rather I buy for solid basic functions of a phone. Battery endurance, good signal, good sound are Xiomi fort. I hate Chinese invasion but Xiomi is good. iPhone is shit when it comes to battery

In India it will start at around $550 with no charger included. That design alone is not worth it. 4.7 inch screen with those ugly @ss bezels

Invy, 27 Feb 2022Only relevant to U.S. customers. For example, despite Apple... moreWe have around 20% VAT tax, depending on country. And some extra margins. Still, it's a 500€ iPhone. iPhone Mini is 700, regular is over 800, Pro is around 1000 and Pro Max is around 1200€. Regardless of tax slapped on top it's still the cheapest iPhone with latest chipset and iOS. Some people just don't want Android, despite everything Android fans will claim here on GSMArena. Would I buy SE? Probably not. Will others? For sure.

joe nodden, 27 Feb 2022Imagine buying a phone with a 65% screen to body ratio in 2... moreImagine getting a device for $300 that runs same chipset as latest iPhone 13 and has 5 years of software support while being super compact. Show me just one $300 Android phone that runs at least Snapdragon 888 and gets at least 3 years of updates that isn't the size of a frigging tablet like all the cheap phones are. There just isn't any.
Some people just don't mind old design, but they still get really good performance and great software support for little money. Clearly it's not for any of you specs obsessed people, but there clearly is a market for such phones, especially when they aren't yet another generic cheap Android phones.
iPhone SE 2022 will run A15 Bionic for sure and as a result it'll have better battery life than last one for sure, just like iPhone 13 Mini does and quite significantly.

Same old iPhone 8 like design from 2017? Need better tech writers man. It's the same old design of iPhone 6 from 2014!

If it's just going to be the same as the current iPhone SE (2020) with an additional 5G modem, that should be alright. After all, that is basically the second recycling of the iPhone 8.

joe nodden, 27 Feb 2022No not half a decade. Half a decade would've been 2017... moreYou make a valid point and get an upvote.
That said, I think Apple's introduction of a fingerprint sensor in 2013 sort of made those initial efforts by Sharp to reduce bezels more of a wash. As Android Heavyweights kept bezels for front-facing fingerprint sensors to compete with the iPhone.
It wasn't until 2017 with the LG G6 and Galaxy S8 that the Android community fully embraced bezel reduction when they moved fingerprint sensors to the back. Apple then had to respond with the wide notch.
It'll be like UDC's. The first UDC was introduced in 2020. But it wouldn't be until 2024 at the earliest that Android manufacturers embrace it as a mainstream design element.

Scram, 27 Feb 2022Half a decade. Which is also about as long as it takes Appl... moreNo not half a decade. Half a decade would've been 2017. The Sharp Aquos Crystal was released back in 2014. I mean, that was released when the newest iPhone was the 5s. So it's been about 8 years since manufacturers started shrinking bezels.
