How much of an upgrade are the cameras on the SE compared to the 8 Plus? I really miss the compact size of my 7 and the extended battery life from the smart battery case. I’ve very tempted to switch to the SE. I know I’lll lose the dual lense camera, unfortunately...

We really will not know until we get some reviews and the devices in hand. It will be an upgrade, but how much is unsure. The camera is a blend of the 8/XR/11(software)

Ordered a black 64GB, currently have a 7+ 128GB which I bought second hand for a steal a year ago. Will see how I get on when it arrives and decide then whether to keep it or not.
 
No thanks.
I'll order the iPhone SE-3 in 2024.

Sure that'll probably be a 6 inch screen and look like whatever the the iPhone 13 or 14 looks like. I'll be ok to upgrade then as my current gen 1 SE will be far too old by that point.
 
Aren’t we supposed to get a one year free Apple TV+ with any new iPhone purchase? I didn’t see anything listed about it

If the free Apple TV+ membership is still a thing, it will show up in the Settings app on your new phone:

EDIT: Beat me too it @oVerboost

If you scroll down on the preorder page it says "Every new iPhone comes with one year of Apple TV+". Consider that many TV+ shows are currently free anyway. You can wait up to 3 months to activate your free year to max it out.

Only if you add them to your online cart when ordering. Apple aren't going to include headphones that cost nearly as much as the phone.
 
Will be interesting to see how many forum regulars will be ordering the new SE.

I am going with the red 128GB model and the Apple red leather case. I really only need 64GB but, for only $50 more I can get double the storage.
I replaced my 6s with the X and gave the 6s to my wife who just wanted a phone.
Now the 6s is no longer supported, I bought the red SE to replace it. My wife is now using the iPhone in more ways than just a phone and the SE is a perfect fit for her
 
Red 256. Upgrading from an old SE1 16GB which is my current wait-for-new-phone-phone after my XS died an ignoble death.
Sadly, I don't recall how much storage I was using on the XS, but I've been fighting the 16GB limit for the last three weeks and I'm done. I expect the new one to last a good five years, and what is excessive storage now quite likely won't be then. It'll probably be handed down/across once the 12 series is available, but I won't be hearing the "my phone is full" whine.

6s is still supported, and likely will be with the next software update as well in iOS 14. If it's in good condition, sell it and recoup even a little amount of your new SE.

The black 64GB has been pushed to May 5th. Haven’t checked the other models, yet.

Most options are already showing up as May or beyond on my end. I'm in the Midwest.

I'm guessing the new SE is selling out faster than predicted. Most people on this forum believed that sales would suck. I beg to differ. I think this will be the best selling iPhone yet.

We don’t know how many phones Apple already had on hand for release day. Demand is definitely there and I am glad to see that happen. To what real extent will remain a mystery until Apple provides sales numbers.

Looking forward to next Friday.

True but they're usually selling a few million in stores as well and Corona probably impacted manufacturing and distribution side.

Lol, Walmart's Verizon and AT&T iPhone SE page crashed. $200 for the new iPhone SE is an awesome deal. Guess Walmart couldn't handle the demand. :p

It's still available for launch day delivery in countries like China and Australia. Any delays in the U.S. are likely due to reduced airfreight capacity.
