@Rolls Summon.

What do you think the SE 4 is going to look like?

iPhone SE?

Hopefully like SE 2020.

The SE 3 (2022) is pretty good too imo, same design.

Although that design is like 5+ years old, so…

I hope (since I really doubt that they’re keeping the old one) that they’re going to be replacing it with the iPhone 13 Mini design, really doubt it though. :woozy_face:

The SE 3 is pretty good, I got one and it’s held up pretty well over the last year and a half. Would’ve liked a bigger battery but hey this thing isnt nearly as expensive as the other ones, especially with a cell plan discount thing. Also the older design i like much more

Since the minis were discontinued due to lack of popularity, i won’t be surprised if the SE 4 is the same size as the base model iphones

I’ve got the og SE (the 5s body). Like the size and the fact that it has the 3.5mm jack.

I really hope they make another small phone tbh, I’d rather not have to spend a lot of time finding an iPhone 13 Mini since they’re pretty rare apparently.

I mean the part where you mention them being rare is apart of why they probably won’t (I mean at the same time I won’t be upset if they prove me wrong)

As much as I’d like them to make another iphone 8 / mini phone, I’m personally not too worried since my next phone isn’t likely to be an iphone

No what I meant with rare is that apparently they’re pretty sought after and not that easy to find, at least the ones that aren’t cheap refurbished ones.

Why, may I ask?

Refurbs are pretty good. In many cases refurbished tech is done to a better standard than it comes out of the factory because it’s done by a person, who can check that everything is correct rather than a slew of assembly robots.

Small phones are nice. I went from an S8, which wasn’t huge but wasn’t small, to a 2016 SE and it’s been great. Aside from it not having the durability of the Samsung (which was expected) it’s been most of what I was looking for.

I don’t want a gigantic phone, my eyesight isn’t garbage and I don’t need the battery to last for days, and if I want a bigger screen (which I don’t care about) I’ll just get my laptop, and if I want to take nice pictures I just use my DSLR.

Like my dad has an iPhone 14 Pro, same size as the standard iPhone 14, and even without the case, it just flies out of my hands sometimes because of its size. I’m not Shaq or anything, lol.

Like, if I want something big I’ll just get an iPad…

I personally don’t want a tablet (remember when they used the term phablets, anyone?) as a phone - it’s still got to fit in anyone of my pockets without being even slightly uncomfortable or sticking up just a bit to fall out. Smaller screen also makes it comfier to reach around the screen with one hand with little effort. Also it’s lighter. My parents’ iphone x(one of the x models not sure which specifically) and S22 ultra feel like bricks in comparison

I’ve got the SE 3. Now it doesn’t have the biggest battery, but my way more relaxed usage of it compensates. Yes it has a single camera without optical zoom that’s years old, but I’ve got a digital camera that I definitely did not acquire with the sole intent of plane spotting. Even then the phone still takes good photos of things up close, or when I’m not trying to zoom in.

That says a lot when even Canadians don’t measure using Canadian geese. No, not the clothing brand.
