iPhone SE (2016) iPhone SE2? Not dead yet?

[ejb190]

So I cought wind of a major retailer receiving iPhone cases labeled SE/SE2. (Which are not for sale yet, BTW.)

Anyone hear anything? Darest I raise the glimmer of hope after having my dreams smashed on the rocky shores of a disappointing iPhone event?

SE has been discontinued officially by Apple. The cases your referring to were case makers jumping the gun and releasing cases that obviously were made for the 5s/SE but mislabeled as SE2

That's old stock from spring of this year. Back then, there were unsubstantiated rumors of an SE2.

I'm guessing you live a quiet area where inventory turnover is pretty low.

You can still purchase the original iPhone SE new through pre-paid retailers, but there is no future currently for the iPhone SE 2 to be renewed. Although, I do suspect Apple may introduce a 5 inch version of an iPhone in the near future.

Looking to purchase IPhone SE for some relatives and was wondering which prepaid providers to go with
Walmart Family Mobile/Tracfone
Simple Mobile
Total Wireless etc. etc.

Bugeye: You think maybe an upgrade for the iPhone 7? It is currently a 4.7” diagonal screen, with case width a bit larger than my beloved SE. If they bring a full screen to the iPhone 7, I would buy it, and my SE, when it passes from this world, would be given a solemn burial ceremony on my 8 acres, where it could be discovered in the far future by whatever sentient creatures evolve to replace us. They will treasure it and probably build a pyramid museum for their kind to marvel at the technology of our primitive species.

I went from the 5s to the 6s in 2015 and I actually liked the slightly bigger phone. I used my 6s until last year and replaced it with the X which I love. I’d say the iPhone 7 or 8 if you want to phone that won’t need replacement for at least 3 years. When you place the SE on top of the 7/8 it really isn’t that much bigger physically.
