$599, 128gb base model.
Welp rip any interest a bunch of us had in an iphoneSE4.
What a fucking waste of time. The sad thing is I can accept that apple continually wants miserable storage base tiers, that ship has sailed and they will never see 256gb as logical starting points on a phone so damn expensive when their computers start at that horrid storage point.
If it was $499 I would have contemplated finally upgrading. At $599 I'll let everyone else beta test apples new modem in case its another 'you're holding it wrong' type of response if it underperforms in speed, connection quality, etc.
- turtlebits 2y agoThe SE was always a bad value prop. A used iPhone was always a much better value. The only reason I approve of the SE is that they get very cheap via the prepaid market (regularly <$100)
- layer8 2y agoThe SE3 was 64 GB base, they upped the base storage here. I agree that the price isn’t very attractive. Internationally it’s even worse.
- officeplant 2y agoWhen the SE2 and SE3 came out I yelled about the 64gb being complete shit then too. They consistently lag 5 years behind reasonable storage tiers for the price of the phone.
- layer8 2y agoI don’t know about reasonable, I still don’t use more than 100 GB, and I assume that many people don’t really need more.
- officeplant 2y agoIts a mix out there. Personally I prefer to keep 100+GB of music on me because cell service in 2025 still sucks, and so does music subscription service offerings. The average normal person I help with phones all seem to be running out of space but its usually done to junk apps they forgot they had, 60gb of grandkid videos, and 10 years of texts they keep dragging along.
