But yeah, it's 500 bucks USD for the one you'd want, 64GB. Still an expensive freaking phone. Lotta kids are gonna buy it tho with daddy's card.

Considering the 6s is the top end phone and $649 for a similar spec list, does that sound terrible to you for some reason? It's not like they're putting fire sale componentry in it.

if you buy a subsidized locked phone and sign a contract with the way telecoms gently caress everyone around these days, you're dumb.

Yeah, I guess not, but people freaking about the cost of a SE seem to forget non-subsidized iphone prices typically start at like $7-800.

Not sure how a 4" 6S for $400 is anything but Apple nailing it. Anyone think this would be better than their current flagship lineup?

Probably not. I don't see a refresh for those happening until the developer's conference. Probably related to TB3 and USB3.1

I'm seriously considering getting an iPhone SE, as the regular 6 is too big for me to reach across the screen comfortably.

Nope, sorry, don't think so. Great, it's a fast phone for cheaper than the bigger one. And it'll be "old hardware" in a few months when the 7 drops.

And they made it clear who they were targeting - wealthy people in developing countries.
