I know a lot of people and even Apple seem to think of the SE as "low cost" option. But honestly for me its the size. No phone needs to be bigger than the SE. I get that the phone market is over and so Apple needs to make money with other services, streaming video, games etc and people who do that on their phone want bigger phones. But i just need something for calls/txt/music/ the occasionally maps or web search.

>With it potentially costing less than $500, it could be a very low-cost way to get onto the generative AI bandwagon.

How much for the one without generative AI?

I’m still using the first gen SE and love the small form factor. It’s getting slow as websites get bloated but otherwise still works fine including NFC for payments.

If the next gen SE is small like the 13 mini I might buy it. If not I’m sticking with this old beauty for as long as humanly possible.

I have the iPhone SE 2022 as my daily driver now since the Android battery turned into a pillow. Honestly, it was a nice introduction into the ecosystem - still a device at a price point that I would have never bought unless I needed it for a project (since in general phones nowadays are ripped away from you faster than their hardware ages, at least if you want a system that actually gets security updates), but overall I'm satisfied with it.

Except maybe with Apple in general, I feel like for the same project I should have gone for a MacBook that has more than 8 GB of RAM regardless of the exorbitant prices, because that thing replaced my previous netbook when I'm on the move and 8 GB just doesn't feel enough; even if I limit JetBrains IDEs and such to 1 GB of RAM each when doing light dev work, opening the front end and back end already eats into the total memory substantially, in addition to containers.

I'd like to see the 2025 keep the same form factor and button as the 2020 and the 2022.

I've been close to upgrading my 2nd gen to a 3rd gen but I think I will hold off until the 4th gen is released. Even if the new model is too big for my taste, second hand 3rd gens should be a bit cheaper.

It'll have USB-C, right? I think the SE has only had Lightning previously.

It would be really ridiculous if they launch an SE model with AI, while everything except the iPhone 15 Pro/Max don't get AI.
