Welcome (back) iPhone SE?

Welcome (back) iPhone SE — but did Apple just cannibalize itself?
Don't judge an iPhone by its cover... Remember iPhone SE? It's that little rectangle which you could actually operate one-handedly without spraining a finger. Apple released it in 2016, then stopped selling it in 2018. Now, it's shockingly resurrecting iPhone SE for 2020, starting at the (relatively) lower price of $399. list of 2 items • Looks: Pretty much the same as the iPhone 8 — a 4.7-inch screen with a frame around it and a home button with Touch ID. The real change lies on the inside... • Specs: Better camera equipped with 4K video and portrait mode. Also boasts a more powerful processor with the new A13 Bionic chip (sounds legit). Apple says it put "the brains" of iPhone 11 Pro in the body of SE. list end What interested us most was the timing of this launch... Given the COVID-19 crisis, this might not seem like the best time to ship a new product. Apple thinks it's a great time: list of 2 items • With the economy in shambles, it makes sense to introduce a lower-cost phone. The new SE is $200 cheaper than the next "cheapest" iPhone (and many Android models). A low-cost, high-performance phone could thrive right now. • With most Apple stores closed, people can't try before they buy. Buying iPhones online becomes more attractive with a lower price and newer product — Apple's trying to drive excitement for online orders with this launch (people get hyped on pre-orders). list end THE TAKEAWAY Is Apple cannibalizing itself?... Cannibalization occurs when a new product is so irresistible it steals sales from your other (often higher-priced) products. Tesla's Model 3 stole sales from its Model S. But Apple probably did a lot of research on this risk and decided that: • More Upgrades: iPhone users might be more likely to upgrade from their old phones after the launch of SE, with that volume covering lost sales from pricier models. • More Market Share: With this lower-priced option, Apple might convert some Androiders — 's Android still controls 70% of the world's cell phones. • But if fancy new iPhone users change to the lower-priced SE instead, that's a problem for Apple. Sincerely, Olusegun Denver, Colorado

I'm very excited for this lunch. I have had mine for over 3 years and it has worked great. In fact, I'm ordering mine tomorrow from Verizon. I'm getting mine right away because I need more memory. I was thinking of getting an eight until I heard on the news that this one is finally being launched. These will go quickly.

I'm so excited for you, Shelly. I couldn't hold off, because I use my phone that my SE's battery was needing charging twice a day. What a difference with my 11, especially since I removed a lot of the apps refreshing in the background. I use my phone all day for one thing or another, so need good battery, one reason I never kept a flip phone long.

Sis Carolyn, AAPL stock dropped again today? I thought it was TRENDING
UPWARDS! Oh well, may be when it hits $130 I could sneak in and grab three--one for you, second for Colonel Monte, and the third tossed in the air for anyone's catch! With AAPL stores closed, the sE2020 may have to be purchased perhaps online only for the moment. The stores of the major carriers in my village are closed as well; a few of them tried to argue that they provide ESSENTIAL SERVICES and should be allowed to stay open. Well, the politicians governing here aren't buying that thought with a toothpick. I still think though that Apple ventured into the wrong territory; rather than seeking to do much too much, it should stick with what it does well and let the market BLESS OR CURSE its position.

It just dropped 3.99% at 2:55 P.M. Eastern, now trading at $277.54! Alphabet, Google's parent, trades at $1,271.87; please wire funds so we can learn to read our alphabet!

That's like saying a slice of the apple is worth 30 per cent of what it was a few weeks ago. Oh well, at least I didn't lose anything on that one.

stabilize or start back up. At first, I thought, oh, I wish I could have waited, but not so sure now. I have teriffic battery life with my 11, and I understand that the SE has good battery life, but not quite as good as the 11, and battery longevity is one of my top priorities. One technical thing I really like and is another priority now, and that is that the new phones will work on a wireless charger. How nice it is to just lay my phone down on the thing, rather than get out a cable and connect to phone and power.

Thank you Carolyn! I just ordered mine yesterday from Verizon. It's supposed to be here in a week. As soon as I can get it going, I will be sure and let you know how it is. I can't wait because I only have 16 GB's of memory and now I made sure I had enough and I got 128 GB's. I'm planning on keeping this another 3 to 4 years as long as it works well. I have noticed that my battery drops quickly and my battery health is at 91%. So that's not to bad. I use my phone a lot.
