Hey!
I just looked for iPhone SE 2020 again, because I may or may not get it, but the thing is, it's more expensive than the last year. I swear to God. The last year it was $490 and earbuds and charger were in the box, but now when I checked iPhone SE 2020 64GB it's $599 and no headphones or a charger in a box.
I'm from Europe. Has it happened to anyone else? Apple's products are getting more expensive and we get less, because of the "environment".
It should be cheaper.

What?
I said the last year iPhone SE was $490 in my country and it included a charger and earbuds. I was thinking of buying it. This year they only include the phone and a lighting cable to be "eco friendly" and charge $599 for the same phone. I'm not making this up.

What country are you from?

No price change here in the UK. And yes you get less, that’s been the case for almost a year now and no one even cares. You probably have headphones and a charger from your existing phones don’t you?

If not, neither are expensive bought third party, or find a stockists that have the old stock with the charger etc included.

Poland and I checked iSpot + other stores follow. Yeah, well, what if I want to resell my old phone? I still think it's problematic.
 
No, there haven't been any changes to prices at the Apple Store in Poland.

There have been when you compare them to 2020. I even have screenshots. The SE used to be 1800 something, now it's 2100pln.

Show us screenshots from the Apple Store.

Not a random reseller or marketplace.
 
Take it up with whatever reseller you're looking at.

Apple hasn't changed their official prices.

This just hit my mom. She got her first smartphone of any kind... an iPhone SE. No earbuds in the box and she can't use any she already has, since there is no 3.5mm jack on any new iPhone. I found an unopened set of lightning headphones in my junk drawer, so I'll give them to her.
 
This is from your neighbor country. I guess you might find an online seller sending it to pl

It's not getting any more expensive. Your government is printing so much more money it keeps on being worth less and less, even worse than the US with our massive money printing and handouts causing explosive inflation, parts and supply shortages everywhere
 
Buy on Amazon- DE or FR or IT, it's around 450 euros.
If you buy from France, it includes the headphones due to the French law.
If not, the headphones are just 15 euros, sold separately.

Apple has not changed the price (€479 for 64 GB in Germany) since it released last year.
 
I'm not sure what country you live in but I checked checked for here in the States (Oregon to be exact) and a Product Red SIM-Free 64GB iPhone SE goes for $399.00. Just so you know. Best of luck!

But now no charger and heaphones inside.
479 + 25 charger + 15 heaphones = 519 euros. 615 dollar.
Yes. But, it’s applicable only when you buy an iPhone the first time. But, if you buy from a reseller with the older packaging still in stock, you’ll still get the charger and headphones.
