It's going to be a real letdown if it's iPhone 8 size; we're so lacking in high-end (or even midrange) phones in a small form factor now. There's nothing on Android either - even Sony's Xperia Compact line is now much bigger than an SE.
You could fit a 5" screen on the SE form factor if it was edge-to-edge like the iPhone X, or you could keep the old SE 4" screen, make that edge-to-edge, and make the phone itself even smaller.

- SwiftyBug 7y agoWow, I'd love to see an iDevice with those dimentions!
- nicwolff 7y agoI would love that SEX (heh) or XS form factor – but look how much of the iPhone X is battery [0]. If you shrink it by half there's no battery left – unless the phone is much thicker than the 8 or X. So, how much less battery life would you accept, or how much less functionality?

- Nition 7y agoThat's a very fair point. Although you could probably make it 5mm thicker and it'd still fit a lot better in a pocket than any other modern smartphone.
