Didn't know that they doubled the storage the following year.I purchased 4 iPhone SE units in early to mid 2017: The first was a 64GB unit being cleared just as the 128/32GB refresh was happening and it cost USD$290. I later purchased two 32GB units for my parents for the same price as my 64GB one, and then a 128GB unit for USD$550.
Can you do the $29 replacement battery with Apple for the SE?I despise the larger phones. Was really hoping the would upgrade the SE to new guts but the same 4 inch screen. Guess I'll just have to get a new battery for my old one!
Where I live, the new price of the 7 is in no way comparable to that of the SE. The 32GB 7 is $800+. The 32GB SE was available $550 or less throughout 2017 (that was not the price directly from apple, but that was a stable price at a number of big-box stores). I'm talking about new phones, not refurbs.
NZD$800, so that = USD$530 for the 7 vs USD$360 (or cheaper) for the SE in this country.
The SE was often available on Amazon for absurdly low prices.. I have a 128gb Space Grey SE that I got for $189. That's an extreme example but it wasn't uncommon to see them for $250ish.
It really was a gem, and I'm really sad they chose to axe instead of update it.
Right, it would absolutely be higher. When I say I'm sad they axed it I refer to the design, not the price point, sorry if that wasn't clear.
As far as the cheap iPhone thing goes.. I've never seen iPhones get as cheap as the SE did around the 2 year mark without it being some awful 16gb SKU.
And like you said, the SE was built to be cheap, the 7 once it reaches 3 years old still will likely be more expensive than an SE at the 2 year mark.. just the way it is.
