iPhone SE (2016) Email Tim Cook about the iPhone SE

[Lowhangers]

Many of us are upset that the iPhone SE has been discontinued. I sent Tim Cook an email this morning about it at his email address: tcook@apple.com

Please take a minute and drop him a polite, respectful email and encourage him to release an updated iPhone SE soon for those of us who prefer a smaller phone.

Hopefully, if enough of us request it Apple might reconsider its decision to discontinue the iPhone SE. Not everybody wants a big phone, and it would be great if Apple continued to support the SE.

Thanks, and let's hope Apple changes its mind soon.

I suspect a guy like Tim Cook looks for a business case. He’s encouraged by numbers, like any other guy with an MBA.

While more options is nice, I think that Apple has decided that the 7 & 8 will be serving as their small phones. Not sure emailing Tim Cook will change anything.

Better off leaving Apple feedback than bothering Cook with this.

There is literally only a handful of people who wants an SE, hence why they are discontinuing it. People just need to go with an iPhone 7 or 8. We’re evolving..

"hey bring back the SE, lol."

Don't need an MBA to know #s should influence your business decisions lol. As a former SE user, I can tell you that the market is driven by bigger screens, especially since so many prominent OEMs are pushing their display sizes up.

For the SE crowd, if you want to upgrade from your device and do not mind giving up iOS? I would look at the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact. Has modern specs and a cleaner version of Android than the Samsungs of the world.

"Evolving" my a%$. Have people's hands suddenly exploded in size? I'd rather not get a new iPhone at all.

Um. Like I said above there’s an iPhone 7 or 8. That’s relatively the same size as the SE. Why buy a smaller phone which is lest powerful to its counterparts. So he 6s is .7 inch bigger

the SE. lol.

This is like me in the Apple store one time telling them the articulating arm iMac was better than the new iMac. They just stared at me. ok.

It doesn't even matter if they bring something like it back now – because they'll drop the headphone jack and they'll add the barfnotch and whatnot. This is an iconic, canonical device that will never be equalled. I'm buying a stack of them up today to cover my next few phones.

The size difference between the 7 and the SE is substantial.

Don't even get me started on the XR ... This sure looks comfortable:

Hey people – FYI though Apple says they won't sell iPhone SE, I just called the local store and you can actually still buy them at the stores until they run out of stock. I'm gonna run down and grab a couple.

Right, but us handful would happily pay good money for a phone that we can use single-handedly. Instead we have the choice of larger or larger-er.

Let's vote to see how many prefer the smaller phones, I created a poll here so go cast your vote:

Is there an actual adult human being on this planet that can't use iPhone 6/7/8 single-handedly?

I understand that the Plus size isn't for everyone but the 6/7/8 is easy to use w/one hand.

Full Screen SE is what Apple Needs.......

I think it would sell well, or something in between SE and 6-8. Cast your vote:

No, not literally…
Figuratively speaking, maybe…

But not literally.

Why I am upgrading my 5S to an iPhone SE today.

My iPhone 5S weighs 112g. The iPhone SE weighs 113g, the Xs weighs 177g. That is nearly 57% more mass which means 57% more momentum when it hits the concrete if you drop it. I would be happy to pay $1k+ for a phone with the mass of my 5S if it has all the features of an Xs and if it were smaller than the Xs. The strong sales of the SE when it was introduced is good evidence is that people want a small, light phone. The low price confounds those variables. I strongly suspect that the motivation for killing the SE is to avoid cannibalizing higher priced sales. The experiment has not been done to determine whether there is the market for a small, higher priced phone. To those who say that people don’t want the SE, I say show me the data. It sold very well when it was introduced and hasn’t been significantly updated. I don’t understand those who think I should want what they want. I’m happy that Apple is satisfying those who want large, heavy phones. I and lots of others don’t. I agree that Apple Feedback is the correct place to complain about the demise of the SE. Tim Cook is listening to others who make these decisions and reads, at most, if at all, only a small fraction of his customer email. Reading customer email is delegated to others.

An Apple Store? Are they discounted? I noticed the Apple branded leather cases are now unavailable, curious if they're being sold at a discount or regular price until sold out entirely.

It’s seems terribly pretentious to email the single top guy at one of the most profitable companies in the world to make a revision to one product offering.

To a lot of folks, myself included, it's a legitimate question, and it would be nice if he responded. He's been known to.

You literally don’t know what the word literally means.
