The iPhone SE was one of my favorite phones back in the day, I loved how small and pocketable it was but its camera was horrible.
Apple has just announced the new iPhone SE with an improved camera and battery life. Surprising how well it is able to do portrait shots with a single camera.

Seems to be close to iPhone 8 measurements, iirc.
Sadly, it still comes with the Lightening connector, so I'll have to consider if my iPhone 6 is really too old. Can I still keep running it as my only phone or if I will have to return to the trashheap of Android Abandonware (save Google's own branded phones, which still don't come close to the level of support and updates my iPhone 6 has)?Vasudev and Spartan@HIDevolution like this. -
I'm in for two of them as soon as they release the 12 pro and say it does not have touch Id again.

My wife needs a new phone, and I think this is going to be perfect. It would basically be a direct replacement for her iPhone 6s. I don't think she'll miss the headphone jack. I certainly don't. My iPad Pro has one, and I still use a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter because the regular jack being in the corner makes it uncomfortable to hold due to the full-body armor case I have on it.

The 8 is an awesome phone so I guess the se should be deadly.
Wish they did a gold color like the 8. My wife's iphone is the nicest looking device at the moment. All other colors etc pale in comparison to the elegant look of her gold 8. Hmmmm, maybe swap out everything to the new one? hmmmmm indeed!Last edited: Apr 16, 2020Spartan@HIDevolution likes this. -

Looks interesting. I don't plan to switch my phone for at least a year, but been looking into other options, not there are any options out there anymore, since BB and WMP are dead...
Though not sure I would be strong enough to deal again with a digital cancer known as iTunes... -

Forget about the iTunes BS.
Just use iMazing or Syncios . Yes they are paid apps but worth every cent for the amount of time and hassle they will save you. You can open the app, then click on your phone then apps, then choose the music app of your choice? In my case, I use foobar as it's just a plain and simply music player then I drag all the songs in there and boom! They're all on your phone!
Additionally, you can easily copy ringtones, pics, videos, etc.Papusan, Vasudev, Convel and 1 other person like this. -

Just watched a video comparing speeds of the 8 and new se. the difference is negligible. Se is a tad faster in some things the 8 is faster doing others. Just as comparing my 6s and 8. The Apple phones these days and iOS is so optimized that most iPhones run the same at this point.

Even not really worth it if you have a 6s. They are getting ios 14 this fall from all reports

I look forward to upgrading to this in 2-3 years when I retire my iphone 8 plus

Keep your 8 until it's no longer supported. The difference between it and the se is minimal in every category. I'm figuring we will get ios 18 before they stop.

I agree but there will always be an apple phone like that now. So I would just wait until you have no support on your current device and then buy another. That's what we are doing. My sons 6s will be first, then our two 8s. And I agree they have gone wacky with pricing.
