Anonymous, 27 Feb 2022Still too expensive. Apple should sell it for $100.$100? Really?
$300 is reasonable. You get proper software support, very solid camera and performance. $400 is too expensive though with its Jurassic design and tiny battery.

I hope they improve battery life as no amount if software trickery can bend the laws of physics.
Some people who bought SE hated it coz of the bad battery backup

joe nodden, 27 Feb 2022Imagine buying a phone with a 65% screen to body ratio in 2... moreHalf a decade. Which is also about as long as it takes Apple to radically change designs.
I'll say they should have waited until next year for a refresh. As the 14 Pro will get a double punch hole redesign. Unfortunately, they seem to be on a strict 2 year upgrade schedule with the SEs and using a notch will cannibalize the Mini which aren't selling that well anyways.
Perhaps, that is why they'll be cutting the price by $99.
Apple is trying really hard to stretch out redesigns. Android OEMs will pretty much move flagships to UDCs. Mid-range will join in about 2 generations. And that'll be the end of front redesigns. Apple will move to dual punch holes. Then one punch hole. Before going totally under the screen. That's at the very least, a decade of upgrades there.

Calling it the SE is a big mistake. Surely they got wackier naming schemes for their new budget phone

Imagine buying a phone with a 65% screen to body ratio in 2022. I mean it's been almost a decade since manufacturers started shrinking bezels. I mean with measurements like that, the body should be able to house an inch larger display.

$300 is acceptable ... As long as battery is not crap ... Apple save cost alot with same design without faceID, probably the same camera sensor as XR..
if they could fit iphone 13 pro battery, it will be a winner but I doubt apple will do that.
This what low & midrange android oem should do ... Drop all the multiple crap camare and lower the cost & retail price.

Only relevant to U.S. customers. For example, despite Apple's far-reaching tax avoidance in the EU, and the euro being higher valued than the dollar, the 299 USD iPhone will be priced 399 or 499 EUR in the EU.
Many of their products have a 30-50% markup in the EU.

The SE looks like the phone I would like to buy because of small size. Even the (2016) SE was a good phone, and I can buy one if they re-launched it in 2022
