[Electronics-Talk] iPhone SE / was Re: Introduction

Fri Dec 1 07:37:49 UTC 2017

Hi Jenny,
The iPhone SE is the 4 inch version, same size as the iPhone 5 and 5S. The
screen size got bigger with the iPhone 6. The SE is a lot cheaper too,
about half the price of the iPhone 8. I miss having a smaller phone and am
seriously thinking about getting the iPhone SE.
