For me, it's significantly larger, has no headphone jack, and starting at £420 is pretty expensive for a device which shares a lot of components with a 3 year-old iPhone 8. As an original SE user, disappointed.

Adjusted for inflation it is £4 more than the SE at launch...https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/04/iphone-se-a...

What bits does it share with the 8?
The processor is from the 11, it’s more like a smaller XR than anything.
Seems like great value.

The headphone jack was never coming back. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/04/iphone-se-a...

I think they will sell boatloads.

I'll be getting one to replace my 6S, and probably another to replace my wife's 6. It is all I need from a phone. I'd prefer a smaller one, and was annoyed when the original SE was released just after I got the 6S, but I've got used to the size over the years.
I think I'll be getting one to replace my 6S as well. I can't justify £1200 for an 11 Pro, as much as I'd like one.ReallyReallyGood said:

Conversely, it uses a great design that's not too big or too small for most people and there's a load of existing cases and accessories that fit straight on. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/04/iphone-se-a...

You get the same A13 processor as the current iPhone 11, a very good camera (including 4k video), wireless charging, 18W wired fast charging and waterproofing.
I went from the old SE to a XR. If I needed to buy a new iPhone today I'd find it very hard to justify the extra £300 or so for an iPhone 11 over the new SE although it depends how you feel about a better screen, camera and Face ID.

I also think the pricing is competitive and will keep significant numbers of people on an iPhone instead of the competition.
£469 for 128gb that seems a great price for an iPhone. Regarding headphone jacks. I recently swapped my wires sennheisers for Bluetooth anker headphones and I can’t believe I’ve held off for so long.

But it doesn’t. It’s the same component set at the iPhone 11 bar the U1 chip.https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/04/iphone-se-a...

All it shares with the 8 is the chassis, battery form and fundamentals of the screen and TouchID - as 3D Touch has now been retired.
I do think the pricing is wrong considering it’s $399 even with sales tax and the poor exchange rate of today it puts it at £100 more expensive in the UK than the USA.

Exactly. The 11 is too big, 11 Pro is too expensive. And I should also point out that my 6S has a completely shattered screen that's been held together with sellotape for the last few months while I waited for a smaller/cheaper phone, so it's not an upgrade just for the sake of it!Love it. I currently have an iPhone 8 which I bought in October 2018 and is pretty much perfect for my needs. The idea that there's going to be something new, of the same size, with Touch ID, which I can replace my 8 with when it gets to a point where it no longer performs optimally on the newest software is great, as is the fact that it's [relatively] sensibly priced.

Replacement screen is ~£16 and easy to fitI’ve had a 7 for a few years now, and been looking towards a new phone.
Like the look of this, especially at the price. Do feel a bit like I’d be getting the same phone again, give or take, but it is a relatively inexpensive way to give my current phone as a hand me down to my eldest.
