if you're buying a new phone, Apple will give you a $130 credit for an iPhone 7, but only $30 for the SE lololol

I will double that offer tbh

Interesting that they've brought back the flat metal sides found on the iPhone 5 (and original SE) for the iPad Pro. Rumor has it they may also feature on the next flagship iPhone model. Meanwhile the new SE gets the rounded sides.

the whole point of the SE is to put updated specs in a form that they know well and have been cranking out for years.

I've never done the pay monthly thing but it seems there are no interest charges?? Tempting to pay 20 a month rather than full whack all at once
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Friday, 17 April 2020 16:08 (four years ago) link
Of course what happens when I break it in month 10 is another story but if I get AppleCare that should be fine..
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Friday, 17 April 2020 16:09 (four years ago) link
they've reengineered the payment plans and I think, unless you are getting a deal with your carrier where you're getting some bonkers deal, it's worth buying direct from apple
hell, right now you might be able to double-dip by getting their virtual credit card and then just not paying the bill for a few months during the virus

AT&T US has the promo as $5 x 30mos. (+ $30 activation fee & tax on MSRP) for the 64GB...
The 256GB is $15 x 30mos. + above.

Lol USA
― ๐ ๐๐ข๐จ (caek), Friday, 17 April 2020 16:17 (four years ago) link
Ack, the catch for the 64GB promo is "requires new line", existing customers looks like $10 x 30mos iirtc.

everything being some sort of haggling car sales transaction is tiring
at least now you can buy a phone, pick a provider, and just connect A to B even if you're not getting the absolute best price
I found it really telling that one car salesperson I dealt with years ago had formerly been a cell phone salesperson. The other guy I bought a car from later became a realtor. My head hurts.
― mh, Friday, 17 April 2020 16:25 (four years ago) link
I have no idea how hardware/provider pairings work. I still have my old 5s hanging around, bought from Consumer Cellular. Can anyone who buys it use it with their sim card?

Likely only on AT&T or T-Mobile (or other GSM carriers), as Consumer Cellular uses their networks, and back then iPhones sold by those carriers didn't work on CDMA-based carriers like Verizon or Sprint. Also, you'll need to have CC unlock it first, which shouldn't be a problem if you've fulfilled the original typically 2-year contract.
See here for differences between 5s models; I'm guessing yours is the A1533 (GSM) - https://www.techwalls.com/iphone-5s-a1533-a1453-a1457-a1530-differences
― Lee626, Friday, 17 April 2020 23:04 (four years ago) link
I did it. probably stupid to pay an extra ยฃ100 for the 256GB but ehhhh fuck it. paying monthly makes the difference feel negligible. hotly anticipating now :)

well it feels absolutely massive compared to my previous SE but i'm sure i'll get used to it. nice and thin is a bit of compensation i guess.
the process of switching from an old iPhone to a new one is pretty wild now. there's a kind of swirly circular QR code on the new phone that you line up in the camera of the old one, and then it starts transferring stuff.

What colour did you get?
― stet, Friday, 24 April 2020 11:09 (four years ago) link
black. they all have black bevels so black's the only one that looks right to me. the others look a bit like you've added a decal wrap to the back or something. actually transferring /updating is taking FOREVER.

I bought an 8 plus exactly a year ago because I wanted the button and didnโt like the X - I can get $250 trade in for it now so one of these would be $150 out of pocket. My battery life isnโt shitty yet but is getting lower. Is it worth it? I imagine my trade in value will be significantly lower 12 months from now.
― joygoat, Friday, 24 April 2020 19:02 (four years ago) link
Iโd say yes, for a fresh battery, better camera, more RAM and faster chip. As long as you donโt mind the smaller display size

i loved my original SE but god it's easier to read things on the new one.
photos are incredible.
i does feel like it's always about to squirt out of my hands, though. and i can't believe they don't include a headphone adapter! fuck's sake.
