Waiting for iPhone SE-2
Just had to go down to the garage to get my phone. The damn iPhone Xr is too big for my pockets so I keep it on the console, and forget it there every time.
![]() Will the SE-2 happen? There have been rumors for months. My 5s got so bad I had to replace it about 6 weeks ago. I didn't like the size, but I got a Xr because MrsWD has had so much trouble with her smaller model 8. After 6 weeks I really don't like the size - it's just too damn big. It's not handy to carry it in any of my pockets and I'm not going to start carrying a murse for it. The whiz-bang features are alright, but it doesn't have anything I was missing with my old 5s. A 4 inch phone with edge to edge screen and up to date OS would be perfect. I'm hoping Apple sees the light and starts making an SE-2 type phone soon.

The new SE should happen soon, however it will likely be on the chassis of the Iphone 8, so a little smaller but nowhere close to the old SE / 5S chassis. That chassis is dead.

If you are interested I have two 5s iPhones I am going to sell. They were my phone and my wife’s phone. We upgraded to the iPhone 11.
Send a pm if you are interested.

Current iPhone sizes, Xr (6.1"), 11 Pro (5.8") and 11 Pro Max (6.5"). (only reason that I'm aware is that we just upgraded our phones yesterday)
I saw a couple of things earlier today saying that a smaller iPhone is coming (this fall). Quote:
Pretty much every big wireless company is still selling the Xs which is the same size as the 11 Pro which is a 5.8" screen, but smaller than the Xr. My iPhone 6 Plus (with a case, so bigger than your phone) fits in the back pocket of all of my pants easily. I do take it out before I sit down.

When my Iphone 6S died, I went this route for $89 on Ebay: Kyocera DuraForce Pro E6820 32GB Rugged Military Standard
Swapped the SIM card and I was up and running in a few minutes. About the size of my old 6S

Gave my 8+ to my daughter (huge). Got an XS in it’s place and about the size of. 6. Easily fits pockets, light, etc. Just a thought.

The Xs is about 1/3 of an inch smaller than the Xr. I didn't get the Xs because it was $150 - $200 more and I don't need the fancy camera. I should have gone for it anyway.

T-Mobile has the XS 64GB for $699 which is, I think still about $100 more than the XR, but a pretty good price considering the OLED screen.

I have an 8S for my personal phone and it’s the perfect size. My work phone is an X and I find it too big for my pocket. I would love a compact form factor iPhone that easily fits in my pocket and has a physical keyboard.
