A lot of iphone SE users just bought it because it was cheap though. That's the "niche of a niche" comment above.

I like smaller phones, so we'll see how much people care about them now that the iphone 8 is the smallest good phone apple sells. Am hoping they do make a smaller iphone X style phone, but....we'll see.

Btw, for anyone reading this, popsockets go a long way to making larger phones more comfortable.

The SE was not a cheap phone. It might be considered so in some high-income bubbles, but for most people it isn't/wasn't.

The SE was a cheap phone. $399 or ~$16 a month.

In the US, that’s a cheap phone.

It started at $499, IIRC, then was downpriced in its second incarnation(?)

There was a period where storage was doubled, but IIRC it seemed that options went down again in the SE (maybe when the price dropped)?

Can't edit - but I was thinking of the larger size(s) - the original base price was $399...

Yes, but it was the cheapest iPhone. That was my point. There are some people who are iPhone people, but cost conscious.
