I’m starting a new job in the next few months (already been delayed once because of Covid...) and have just read that I’ll need to buy a handset for work instead of being provided one directly. Suddenly a lot more interested in this launch. Especially if there’s a Product Red version!
Product red plus an official Apple red leather case. I think I’d also like to switch back to a product red phone.

I’ll be honest, the Plus I don’t think is happening. Sorry.
Starting to look that way. It would be weird to continue selling the 8 plus though? They may retire the 8 series all together now I guess. I'll be gutted if no SE plus as I can't tolerate the 11 resolution and can't use Apple OLED.

The 8 will be gone for sure from the line up, but if you want one cheaper keep an eye on the refurb & clearance section of the Apple website. Could see the 8 Plus popping up there for £300.
 
Why? You like the smaller size more?

  • LCD is better than OLED on my eyes
  • From the 3 cameras, I only use the main, I forced myself to use the 0.5 and the 2x, but I never need them to be honest
  • I like the size, weight and one hand use of the 8 (the 7 better if I could choose)
  • I don't want a 1200 dls phone on my pocket anymore
The 5,4 inch could be a great option, if it happens, but the price here in Europe would be 850/900 dls and is too much.
 
Well it seems like it's not coming today. :rolleyes:

Apple have updated their products pages where the screen protector is to no longer say SE, add into that the time for new products being added to the website has come and gone, it's looking unlikely. Again.

Hype train is about to de-rail.

I’m sure Apple knows very well what they’re doing and this tricks and fooling around is not without a reason. Anyways, I would have been very surprised if they released a product on Friday.

It's not Apple that have said anything though. So don't think it's coming from them, this behaviour hasn't even made it to social media or the online news platforms so it's just the forums that are talking about it.
They've released products on Friday's before, especially when pre-ordering.

The original SE was announced on Monday, released on Thursday, and then re-released at higher storage capacities a year later on Friday.

Mainstream tech media have picked up on the SE rumours now.

Sorry guys. I shouldn’t have made that post. I don’t feel particularly good about it. If I could take it back I would, but a card laid is a card played. So I apologize.

I meant about stuff like adding SE to the case title and then removing it. They did the same with the manual for the iPad few weeks ago and etc.

Do you guys think SE2 will have wireless charging? I would think so if it's based on 8.
