I only wanted one thing out of 2018's iPhone event: a new iPhone SE. In failing to provide it Apple seems to have quietly put the model out to pasture — and for this I curse them eternally. Because it was the best phone the company ever made.

Perfect size and the best phone design.

Totally agree. Best phone I’ve ever owned. Really wish Apple / AppleSupport would come out with a new version. I won’t be buying a new iPhone until they do. Some of us out here enjoy the size and well made construction.

Poor choice by apple

Agree! Typing on an iPhone SE 128G here.

Ditto. Buying a spare today. 😏

Yeah. Using SE from 2016 and it’s cool. I was hoping Apple will made SE2 with FaceID, Force Touch, Haptic Engine and better camera - and now they made this expensive piece of shit called iphoneXr - without Force Touc even and 2x more expensive that SE. Apple crap.

The notched design thing is bizarre. And pretty counter-intuitive

Dear Apple, We don’t need a new iPhone. Thanks, World

SIGN THE PETITION TO APPLE!!

Thankfully

Couldn’t agree more ... it’s sad to see it go like that .

Fake News

*for people who wanted a smaller screen

I still have my 5s so...... It’s hard to give up something in return for something that’s less quality.

I loved my SE. It started messing up so I had to get the 8. Still not too big.

Apple is run by the bean counters under Tim Cook. They could easily make an updated replacement for it, and make it profitable - just not profitable enough. It would negatively affect their average selling price.

And that’s why they killed it...

Easily the best, even given Apple's imposed limitations on it. Imagine if they had put the technology in there similar to rest of the lineup. Not sure what I'll get after my SE... it might end up marking an end to my 30+ year Apple-loyalty.

Completely agree will be using mine for many more years - I don’t want a huge phone - the SE design is timeless and perfect

These news agencies are discrediting themselves.

I couldn’t agree more.

WTF?

No the iPhone 6S.

I own one and it’s great, but I understand the need for a bigger screen.

who made this trash post?

Yup, sad but true. However, there’s still enough time to get one before stocks runs out.

It didn't even have OLEDor 4k how could that be

iPhone X*

It is anybody’s guess as to what the assembly facility, in India, previously engaged in assembling the phones, would now be tasked with.

It was the last Steve Jobs iphone.

I agree 100% that not everyone needs or wants a giant phone. I was hoping for an all screen iPhone in the 4.7 inch size. Oh well, iPhone 8, here I come.

💯 % agree!

I agree I’ll be keeping my se till it dies then I guess I’ll dig out my Nokia n97 mini and fire it up.

Couldn't agree more. I'm still holding out for an SE update in the Spring.

Clearly this is due to the exponential annual growth of the human hand... 😐

D E A D

Am I going to get credit for this, or..? 😂

The title of this article is unfathomably dumb!

Erm, no definitely not

Not it wasnt

I’m reading this while using my SE. Nice try...

False. This was the best iPhone ever and it still works like a charm.

I've never quite understood why phones have cameras sticking out of them. Why not have a thicker case and use that space for a larger battery?

Having a Se and a MbP 2011, I think there is a draw between them for the « best apple product » ;) And maybe don’t forget that beauty which is the iPod Classic btw...

DingoTech The 6s was also good

"The SE appealed not just to the nostalgic and neophobic, but simply people who prefer a smaller phone" via

True that.

I'm in total agreement, although I must point out that the iPhone 6s came out in September 2015 and the iPhone SE came out in March 2016. (I will always regret not holding out and getting the SE.)

Apple Watch Series 4 up close and hands-onI’m sure somewhere out there, there’s someone who wants nothing more in this world than a circular Apple Watch.

The bands better offer options that actually match the face watch. It is nearly impossible to get an Apple band with rose gold or gold finishes (they're all silver/platinum), so nothing matches my rose gold watch face.
