Not everyone wants the iPhone X design. What do us consumers do if we want the iPhone 6/7/8 Plus design??? I phone 8 Plus also has a better camera than the new SE.
Got a tip for us?

Did you buy the 8 Plus? That was available until last week. If the demand is there, they'll make one which is rumoured.
To be honest at this stage, those who prefer the older design and Touch ID are lucky that Apple even cater for them with any updated device (new SE), they could have easily just killed off that style of model for both sizes.

Yes I did. But I know many more people that prefer that size and style. The future of the iPhone can't be in this iPhone X design, it just can't. It;s so flawed.
I think it’s been ready to die for a while now.
Apple clearly don't agree as they will likely support the SE gen 2 for 4-5years and many ipads still have the same design language. 🤷♂️
Apple doesn't think so making the design new again in 2020.
Most people would rather have a pro, but it’s nearly 3x the price
Any reason why you think it’s flawed? I think it’s pretty obvious the X design language it is the present/future of the iPhone lineup. I would be highly surprised if there is any new home buttoned iPhone after this SE (except possibly an SE Plus later in the year).
Something like swappa is a very good bet. I’ve sold and purchased on there with no issues in all my years on the site. I purchased a brand new 8+ for $430 at the time Apple still wanted $599 plus tax for one. Same phone, but I saved $200
Most people say the only refurbished iPhones you should really trust are from Apple themselves. I’m unfamiliar with amazon “renewed”, though.
I actually picked up an Amazon renewed XS Max, 256GB in Space Gray recently to upgrade from an 8 Plus. I was also super weary about buying a used phone but I watched a very unbiased tech youtuber "Travis MCP" buy a few $400-600 Amazon renewed iPhones which caused me to pull the trigger and get it. Most of his phones were in great condition and Amazon backs you up with a 90 day refund window in case you don't like it. Guaranteed over 80% battery health too.
I got mine and there were some light micro scratches on the front glass (from normal use, no deep scratches) and the rear was spotless. There was unfortunately a scratch on the bottom on the stainless steel frame but I got a perfect OLED display so I can live with it--I'd rather not play screen roulette. Came with 92% battery health too!
I think Amazon renewed isn't very popular or widely known right now so it would be smart to try it out during these times. Once this program gets too popular, all the phone prices will increase and the quality of the phones will decrease most likely. It comes with a charging brick and cable (non OEM) but that's about it. If you're lucky it'll come with a screen protector already installed.
I know this is an older post that you mentioned, but I would be shocked if Apple launched the ‘SE Plus‘ this year. I thought the rumor was, if I recall, that it would initially launch late first quarter 2021 According to Prosser/Kuo. I’m not sure why Apple would have two separate entry level iPhone launches weeks apart from each other or even months for that matter, but for what reason? It make more sense to launch them both together versus separately, Being they essentially serve the same purpose.
I can't coment on that, I purchased mine brand new from our Authorised reseller here in Jersey.
Yeah that was an old quote. Perhaps we will still see it at some point. Who knows.
Silver 64GB? This is the only model I can see in stock. Fair price but too low storage for me.
Yeah got the silver 64gb only colour they had in stock. Yeah cheapest I could find it brand new anywhere. The storage for me is fine I’m not a heavy storage user.
