Before we venture to convince you one way or the other, lets talk details.
Youll take delivery of phone one week later on April 24, provided youre lucky enough to snag one.
If you want to guarantee you get one on launch day, youll want to wake up early.
I recommend trying to complete your purchase through both websitesandapps.
Apples website might be jammed while its app is working flawlessly.
Dont be afraid to mix and match your shopping strategies.
But should you even bother preordering an iPhone SE?
For starters, there simply isnt a cheaper new iPhone than the SE.
What if you already own a new-ish iPhone?
Weird flex, but sure.
The same is true for the rig Im carrying right now, aniPhone X.
My existing equipment offers a bigger display and a better camera setup.
It has a slightly slower processor, yes, but my Gmail app doesnt really care about that.
What if your iPhone is a bit older than that?
Youll get access to Portrait Mode, sure, and the bevy of other CPU-driven improvements to photography.
What if you havent upgraded your iPhone since the Obama era?
The iPhone SE gives you the same form factor with plenty of useful upgrades.
(I wouldnt be surprised to see Apple cut off iOS 14 for the iPhone 7.
If not,definitelyiOS 15.)
Staying on top of your iOS updates gives you better performance and stronger security.
When Apple stops supporting your iPhone, its usually a good sign that its time for an upgrade.
Your guess is as good as mine.
See you in fall!
