So they did what they've done in the past. Not surprising. Those complaining had plenty of time to buy one to this point.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Discontinues iPhone SE, iPhone 6s and iPhone X

Apple officially don't sell any iPhones with headphone jacks. Truly, RIP.
Refurbished iPhone 7 now starts at $379. Best deal on "new" iPhone!
I don't see why discontinuing the SE surprises anyone. I said from the start there would never be an update- when has anything named "special edition" not been a one time release?
I appreciate the small form factor that better fits in my pants and pockets. Not the small screen. I hope for the day Apple introduces a X with the SE outside dimensions.
Kind of a ridiculous statement. The customer base desiring a small iPhone is virtually nonexistent. Steve would have wanted more expensive phones if he could get people to shell out the cash. They are, and Steve’s happy in heaven.
Yeah, the sales speak was insulting to any educated person. The whole thing came across as very fake and shallow. I kept leaving the room as it was making me feel sick. Very shallow event from very shallow management.
I think I’m going to buy an iPhone SE somewhere right now, I’m sick of apples greed and the new iPhone xr is a joke.
SE fans: "We want to see changes on the SE front!"
Apple: "Hold my beer."
Apple: "Hold my beer."
Oh please, enough of this flippant response. We know we have a choice, but we also have a preference within the iPhone lineup. That's not "hate".
Well, after the disastrous MacPro's of which Ive sent two units back, sticking with my 2013 Late 13inch, this Keynote was just another big disappointment. I still have hopes for a new SE and Macbook Airs later this year, but if there will be no updates to the form factor I love and the MacBook I want, it at least easier to move over to Android completely with both Phone and Laptop.
Yes and it’s double the features and yr geology.
Welcome to 2018. Look into wireless.
SE phones are too small and not practical for anything besides getting lost in your pocket/purse. I have small hands and love my 8+. I can see the iPhone XR doing really well. I will most likely get one next year's iteration.
Basically its the camera and display technology. But the XR has a longer battery life than the XS and has a bigger screen. So you can decide for a much cheaper XR with one Camera, better Battery and larger display, or a more expensive XS with a smaller screen, two Cameras and less battery life.
What they should have done is to present a 4.7" bezel-less iPhone at the same size(give or take a few mm) as the 5s/se and a A11 chip as the low priced - small form factor iPhone ,people would buy it like hot cakes.
Then you have 4.7'',5.8'' and 6.5" iPhones ,that would clear the line.

I’m not interested in a giant phone. I’m also not interested in a $1000 phone. To me it just doesn’t make sense to spend so much money on something that is so easily broken or damaged. I want a basic smartphone with a decent camera in a convenient size. I guess if Apple won’t make one then I’ll have to go with a company that does.
I’ll keep my SE until it dies. Good thing iOS 12 will breathe new life into it.

It's a marketing strategy to push early adopters to the newest, new product. Because it would be sooooo embarrassing to be seen in public with a discontinued status symbol, amirite?
It’s a bold move by Apple to release phones with no new features.
I wonder if Samsung has the balls to add nothing to their current lineup and copy Apple.
Suck on that Samsung!

The Xs has the OLED display, dual cameras, and a better quality to the outer hardware and design. It also lacks 3D Touch. It does pack a 6.1 inch display though, so it’s kind of an interesting dynamic.
WOW! I am very surprised that they even discontinue the iPhone X which basically is just 1 year old...uff
R.I.P SE

Sigh..... looks like my SE is my last iPhone.
Apples new lineup is too big, physically and price wise for me.
I was going to buy FinalCut etc this month but I think instead I will be looking at Windows/Linux and alternative software.
I am not sure Apple makes anything I want to buy anymore.

Waited too long to upgrade from my 4S I didn't buy the SE because I got strung along by SE2 rumors (probably started by Cook to rope us all into phablets). Luckily Amazon had one and I just ordered a "new" 64GB SE for $349. Love the "classic iPhone" form factor but I'm sure Apple will try to erode the SW infrastructure around the SE to STILL try and squeeze us. Not liking Apple management right now....
