My fantastic dinky iphone SE is nearing the end of its life and I'm overdue an upgrade

So do I hold out for what is mooted to be the Iphone SE2 (or whatever they're going to call it) or go for something like the XR?

I upgraded from a SE to a XR, definitely recommend although not sure what the spec of the new SE will be but I wanted a phone with a larger screen

I have an xr its fab especially the battery life

I’m in the same position OP. Just a bit too small - though I do a lot of stuff on iPad at home.

An XR is a much bigger phone, and I was extremely dubious about it for that reason. In actual fact - I love it! I really appreciate the extra screen space, and 99% of the time I don't notice the extra size. The only time I do is when I take it with me while running, but not everyone does that so might not be relevant. But please don't tell DH, he spent ages talking me into it, I was very resistant, and I don't want to admit he was rightSmile

XR is great I totally love mine

Thanks all! This is really helpful-I mainly want a bigger screen and like having a decent camera but other than that don't need anything more fancy

Think I'll give it a go

My DH put off changing from an SE to an XR for years because he loved the original style of the iPhone, the sides, the home button etc. He loves his XR, as do I Grin

Holding out for se 2 I like the smaller screen, it's easier to hold. Anyone know when it due for release?

carlyclock · 06/03/2020 16:16

The SE 2/9 is due for release in March. It's now expected huge supply delays though.

I still have an iPhone 6+ and refuse to upgrade simply because it works a dream so can't really advise. However, on in iPhone note, a top top of writing a text or email etc... if you hold down the space bar on the on-screen keyboard, it turns into a cursor that you can move around the text like when you use a mouse. You heard it hear first... or second etc.

Oh I am so pleased they’re doing a new SE. There’s no way I could get an X-r in my pocket!

JellyfishandShells · 06/03/2020 18:16

I read that the new SE will be a bit bigger than the current one, though not as large as other iPhones, which would suit me.

happymummy12345 · 06/03/2020 18:33

I had the SE. In January I was due an upgrade. I didn't want a massive phone or to pay a fortune per month on my contract. So I got the 8. I love it. Took a bit of getting used to the bigger phone but apart from that it's fine. I'm not bothered about having the latest one so I was happy to get the 8, and I got a good deal.
