iPhone SE: A powerful new smartphone in a popular design
Devilās Advocate.
Counter argument:
- why are you buying such an expensive CPU inside a small phone?
- why arenāt you instead spending on a small screen less powerful 1-2 year old design phone and putting a powerful cpu in something more useful, like a larger tablet, laptop?
Edit: I am wrong. I see they put a fair price on it. $399. Is that unlocked with the specs as shown?
Yes, with those specs- with 64gb storage
Charging wise it uses the same technology weāve seen for the last few years. It includes a 5W USB-A wall charger and regular Lightning cable. But it supports fast charging using an 18W (or higher) USB-C Power Delivery charger and a USB-C to Lightning cable. So any Anker charger offering USB-C Power Delivery will fast charge it. And Ankerās USB-C to Lightning cables are all MFi certified by Apple.
It also supports wireless charging. Again, Ankerās Qi wireless chargers are compatible as they are with other model iPhones. Stick with a 7.5-10W wireless charger for best results.
Iām waiting for someone to release the battery size. Thatāll help tell how well itāll perform through a long day. And how many charges a power bank will offer it.
Iām not a fan of apple but itās amazing this phone gets the A13 Bionic for $399. Some of the specs could be improved but the chip alone makes up for it
Wow, the iPhone SE actually looks like a decent deal!
Well just buy an SD card in, thatās what we do with Android
Ooops. I have a 32GB Android 8.4" phone with 200GB $20 SD card. I keep forgetting.
A smaller phone is a good idea, complements another device like a 8"-10" tablet or 13"-15" laptop. I think phones of 2015 were about the right size. What happened though was phones got bigger and tablets squeezed then you got a 6"-7" phone which would not really fit in your hand or pocket and not as good as a tablet.
I think a move back to smaller phones is the right idea, so long as a low price and we put $$$ into either tablets or laptops.
Or you pay $1000 for a phone then dock it within a laptop shell.
The specs are impressive at $399 price point. The one and only missing thing is the SD slot, but that is not coming with iPhone I believe.
This might be my next phone 
Saving at least $600 and that can buy a reasonable laptop, but I donāt need one anyways.
2015 needs to return.
SD slot.
Replaceable battery.
We then head out for a weekend with an weekendās of media and the spare battery to last all weekend.
I like the 5.7ā size edge to edge display (iPhone X, 11 pro etc.)
I had a Note 4 with a replaceable battery and it was a really useful āfeatureā but now that they are not replaceable anymore and we have waterproofing instead, I think Iād rather stick with a waterproof phone
Agree with:
- smaller phones, they have been getting way too big for years.
- lower cost. It is only a phone, thereās better places to spend $ than this. If youāre going to have a small screen then your big screen device needs to have the most of everything (storage, RAM, GPU, pixels).
Just need to add a microSDXC slot and design it to replace battery in 5 minutes with just a torque driver.

That will save some $$ for user but not Apple, so guess they will not do it
