Apple Discontinues iPhone SE, iPhone 6s and iPhone X

[L-Viz]

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.

Would be best decision. I consider buying one without unpacking, until my current one breaks...

It is like Porsche saying, sorry folks, no more 911, but you can have one of our SUVs! SUVs are so popular! Hey have you heard of our new pick up truck? You can carry a herd of sheep with it! You can't carry a herd of sheep with a 911 !!!

I didn’t buy the AirPods before but I think they’re new? Intro had a girl say “Hey Siri” hands free.

There was also some “teleportion” too.

All of the upset SE fans.

Pouring one out for my SE and X

oddly my 7plus is the only non end of life phone I own now

Thank You, Mister Cook, for eliminating the only small phone in your line up. The only Phone, that is not a ridiculous phablet.

I had no idea, that You zeroed out customer satisfaction.

And still no new mac mini. Apple just hit rock bottom.

Bozos all over the place.








Steve would have never allowed this.

Give me a break, I work at a cellphone carrier and we only sell the SE's when they are a promo or really old people that don't want change. We barely sell them and most people are surprised Apple still make (made) phones that small, good riddance.

The Xs is priced exactly the same as the X was here. The Xs "Max" feels like a robbery starting at 1279 euros (VAT included). Obnoxious and disappointing.

 

[elfxmilhouse]

Sorry but I am a little confused..

What's the difference between the XR and the XS? Different camera? The processor is still the same right?

XR has LCD XS has OLED
XR has single camera XS has dual camera
XR is 6.1" XS is 5.8"
XR largest storage is 128GB XS is 512GB
XR is aluminum XS is stainless steel

They both have A12 chip

This is the first year I have been on the Apple upgrade program so not a clue how I get my hands on the XSMAX!

If you launch the Apple Store App, you can go ahead and go through the steps of choosing your phone and submitting your "next year" application. Still have to get up at 12:01 PT if there's a model you have to have. Still "first come first served".

WOW! I am very surprised that they even discontinue the iPhone X which basically is just 1 year old...uff
R.I.P SE

What's this X discontinue talk?

 

[mikehend]

Does anyone have the monthly break downs for what the iPhone Xs and Xs Max will be through Apple Upgrade program?

Do a quick search on the Apple.com site for "Apple Care"...I found it there.
Breakdown for each phone.

I’m struggling to work out why the invites stated ‘gather round’. Doesn’t seem to reference anything shown.

Cook's mandate is to make money for the apple executives, upper level managers, HQ staff, and shareholders (in that order). Making customers happy is secondary to all of that.

If that's true it works for the customers. Apple has about the highest customer satisfaction of any tech company (this is a couple years old but more recent product-specific surveys show similar results: https://9to5mac.com/2016/06/01/american-customer-satisfaction-index-apple/). So apparently Apple's customers are happy, other than the few who complain in online forums.

What a garbage event. So much BS corporate talk, nothing new. Crazy prices.
And don't start me on all those creepy people on stage. Incredible.

the woman with the 9 inch wedge shoes talking about saving the planet was absolutely terrifying

 

[StarDal]

So it won’t be a year since last release what will happen with the 1 year upgrade programs from apple, att, etc..

You'll have to pay the remaining month. I got that notification when I started the process in the Apple Store App.

You JUST realized that?!?

 

[sir1963nz]

Apple to SE owners: "Your kind isn't welcome here anymore. Move along."

I have been a Mac user since the Mac 512KE.
And you are right, Apple no longer makes anything I want to pay for.

Time for Samsung to do a 4".

 

[macdisciple]

What a slap in the face to everyone who wanted an updated SE with better internals. Tim Cook's greed has no bounds.

How many is "everyone"? You, me, and how many more? If the buyer market is not sufficient, no company is going to produce a product that does return a significant profit. You might as well call ALL the phone manufacturers greedy since no one has produced a competitive model at the same size as the SE or smaller.

Use the Apple Store App on the phone and it will walk you through it.
I already registered for mine.

It was referring to the new Apple Park campus. That circle image is the logo for the new building.

 

[m0sher]

I have X now and don’t see any reason to upgrade.

XS Max like the Plus have been, is too big for me to use as daily driver in my pocket.

Nice to see 7nm A12 chip and it’s new enhancements but I can wait for the improved 7nm A13 chip in the iPhone 11 next year.

 

[Scottsoapbox]

Such absolute and horrible and ridiculous prices for a phone. Prices for the top of the line iPhone Xs Max is close to getting a top model MacBook Pro 13" with touch bar already. What is this world coming to?

A world where a company that makes phones is the most valuable company on the planet. Bigger than energy companies the fuel everything or defense contractors making multi-billion dollar products. Just think about that.

 

[morningsong]

Why can't they say what size battery they're using in the phones?
ONE HOUR MORE THAN AN X!!!! means nothing to someone who still has a 6S!!!

 

[fumi2014]

Wow. Apple Watch Edition is no more. Goodbye all Ceramic case.

 

[HobeSoundDarryl]

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.

So buy yourself some pants with bigger pockets. Apparently they were all the (impending) rage only a few years ago when the collective were still NOT believing Apple would dare make phones with screens bigger than the "perfection" of 4 inches. And then Apple actually embraced what "we" had referred to as "abomination" (sized screens) and ridiculed for the developer misery of fragmentation, etc.

By this point, there should be bargain bins loaded with pants with bigger pockets and those man purses "we" were slinging around in those days too.
