iPhone SE (2016) Edge-to-edge iPhone SE

[satchmo]

I still love the form factor of the smaller SE, but not so much it's huge bezels.

Just thinking how an iPhone SE with and edge-to-edge display would be awesome. Still small form factor that allows for one hand navigation, but with increased screen area.

Throw in an upgraded processor, and improved battery.
How many here would like something like this?

I would hope that is the only option for iPhone SE..2..?S..? But I have no idea if the SE sold enough to put innovation into it. My wife would love to upgrade her SE.

To be honest, I think that the SE came into being because Apple already had the 5s frame ready to go. I'm not sure that they will put R&D into developing a new design for a "mini" phone.

All profit on that one!

Exactly. Take the internals from the 6s, stick them in the frame of the 5s, and BAM! New product! Not to put down the SE, but it was like heating up leftovers when you can't be bothered to cook a new meal.

I would absolutely buy this.

The SE bezels are not huge.
I dont think they will go edge to edge but they will put something out similar to the lower cost SE to have as an available less expensive option.

I don't believe the iPhone SE was ever intended to be innovative. It's core existence was to incorporate an iPhone specific size for a demographic that wanted a smaller iPhone, but doesn't necessarily need all the latest technology Incorporated, and also to make the price point affordable. The iPhone SE was also intended for India's market and commerce.

Where can I buy the iPHOne SEX?

Love the SE. Hell I'd drop back down to 3.5" for even easier one handed use. Don't do much video on my phone and pics don't use all the 4" screen anyway.

Well, I think that it could gain one extra inch or more without the bezels. Maybe someone could measure that. It would be interesting.

I'd love a 4S chassis with updated everything.

Speck Pixelskin HD case and good to go.

Looking at the apple website we can see that they are continuing to sell the 6S.

I had assumed the 6S would be dropped and this would mean that the manufacturing of the SE would no longer be getting the economy of scale benefits from sharing internal components and would thus be updated maybe in the spring.

However seeing the price point of the 6S I find it hard to believe Apple will update the SE before this time next year - any update will make it faster than the 6S. I suppose they could bring the newer touch ID etc as a very minor update but can't see them bothering.

Or are my thoughts wide of the mark? When the SE came out it was tremendous value for money matching the flagship for a much lower price. It seems to now be heading just simply to being a cheaper iPhone.
