Where can I purchase another SE? - I called Apple and they told me that none of the Apple stores in Chicago area have them in stock. I find that extremely hard to believe, since they checked 5 Apple stores near me, but this is what I've been told twice now.

How is it possible that the entire inventory sold out in less than a week?

I can't find them anywhere online in new condition, aside from Verizon, but they no longer have the space gray in stock. T-Mobile all sold out. I looked at BestBuy and all I saw was preowned ones. What is going on?

$160 sounds like a great price for a 5SE, but I don't want a cellular with Consumer Cellular. Otherwise, I'm on this in a NY minute.

You may want to check again because I just did and none of them have the latest new unlocked iPhone SE in stock. I just see a bunch of preowned ones.

Latest iteration of the SE was the 32/128 model.

There are multiple prepaid ones, but those are out of the question since I want an unlocked one that can be used with any carrier.

I checked Apple's refurbished equipment and there were non 5SE's or 5S's listed.

Gone with the wind unless you pickup one on ebay or Swappa.

Same. Can't find them anywhere. Specifically BNIB and unlocked. Vanished. Even on eBay, 99.9% of them are used or refurbs. Even the ones listed as "new" are not really new (most are open box, etc.).

ATT has them in stock and unlocked without a contract. They’re still mostly full price, but they have them.

Apple is most likely redistributing the Apple Store stock to third party retailers. I don’t think we’re gong to see new SEs going anywhere anytime soon, they’re just going to be harder to get easily.

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.

Not many of you. Like a few of you. Way too few for them to even consider not discontinuing it.

My profile picture is both my iphone x and se. I still have my se and now my husband carries it. I have zero desire to go back to an se. If it didn't have the credit card size screen maybe but I do not mind one bit the size of my ipx.
