I’m the general public and have known this for two years and never even owned an Apple product until 9 months ago. It brought back a beloved design with great specs which is why it was called that I assume. Many products have received “special editions” in my lifetime. Just because you’ve never heard of it doesn’t make it stupid.
I would buy one just for the fun of it, if an XR is £749 i would like to see the new SE at £399?
what about you guys? also, i think face ID would be cool on such a compact device
