iPhone SE 4 vs iPhone 17 Air Rumors: Does iPhone Size Matter?

[@WhyWorldWet]

I want a "thiccc" iPhone version to come out, which is slightly thicker than previous models, with bigger battery life, and to conceal the obstructive cameras. Clean up the backside a bit, something has to be done. Seeing three cameras jut out is ugly. Conceal them in some way and redesign them.

[@Khaleguy]

How about you call out Apple for their cobalt sourcing practices instead of being blind to these corporate backed slave mines that allow you to have this out of touch journalist have a meaningless discussion of phone size.

[@lehsu]

Don’t care about thinner phones. I want longer battery life and more durable.

[@Gle-lv2fm]

For me, I WANT a thinner phone, and I don’t care about longer battery life, it’s more than enough for my use.

[@M4cintoshSE]

I’m fine as long as the battery is better than a 13 mini

What's the point of Apple releasing another device with the same size, they should update the Mini's specifications and release it as the SE.

[@pabloarraya2666]

An Iphone mini comeback would be awesome

[@TrunkyGurden]

very sad the SE isn't in the Mini Form factor. It would be an instant sell for a lot of people. the iphone 12 mini is turning 5 this year, and for a lot of mini owners, we aren't upgrading until there's a new mini.

800 dollars is simply not cheap! If the iPhone Air has to be competitive, it needs to be priced at 599 or 649 at most.

$499 at best

[@housepianist]

Well, the ultimate question is this: Would you buy an SE if it were between 400 and 500 dollars? It’s one thing to say what you think it should be but another to actually put your money where your mouth is, so to speak.

[@IntriguedLioness]

I always try to skip a generation yet have grown increasingly addicted to large phablet screens. I picked up a used mint SE3 recently as a travel iPhone and have absolutely loved using it as a phone and started carrying a pocket cameras in a bag because that was the main reason I love the big screens! For the first time in years I will probably downgrade my next phone to an se4 based on the OLED screen alone! Game changer!

[@chrisherbert4454]

Give me a iPhone Mini 17 please

[@mogumogu000]

Longer battery life please. All the new features will consume the battery fast!

[@SinisterPuppy]

Found an amazing deal on the SE 3rd gen over the holiday and it's been suiting me perfectly. I know I'm losing some screen real estate due to the mostly iphone 8 style; but it's nice to have a smaller phone. Personally I don't want thinner; I want smaller. Wonder if the new SE 4th gen is going to grow in size or if they're going to keep it as the smallest in their line up.

[@jamaiknmuzik8176]

Keep in mind the current iPad Pro is as thin as the last generation iPod nano, which is pretty thin. (5.3mm) So it’s possible for apple to make a phone that’s as thin as the iPad Pro, iPod nano

ZERO interest in either the AIR or the SE as they're rumored. I want the best-of-the-best cameras on my next phone. I'd rather get a 16 Pro than a 17 Air... and hopefully we actually seem some real innovation in the 17 Pro next year... the 16 update felt like an off year, at least in terms of camera advancements. Hoping to see something that really inspires and excites next time.

[@Centauri27]

I don't really care about thinner phones, as I'll put it in a case anyways. I actually prefer the standard size phones, after using an iPhone 13 Pro Max for a couple of years. These big phones tend to fall out of pockets.

[@alexblankenship7385]

I can’t wait for an Air iPhone. I really miss the form factor of my iPhone 6s. I’ll even be happy about rumors of the 6.5” display, it would be a perfect in between size of the Pro’s 6.3” or 6.9”

[@joesackbaron]

I think the skinny jeans fashion trend in the late 00's early 10's massively helped to market thinner phones as "better". Along with the megapixels for the camera as it replaced your digital camera. Just like now, they're using resolution and frame rate off the back of gamers as "better" to get people to upgrade. For most people, none of these things are worth upgrading for. In reality, if your phone is broken, or not fit for purpose, get a nerw one. If not, why do you need to upgrade?

[@roshankumar-vk8di]

iPhone SE would be a failure just like the 16 series.

Less battery life and slower charging to reduce chances of extreme heat buildup on more tightly packed internals. Potentially less room for camera sensors. Possibly faster throttling when trying to play intensive games

It has to be the cheap option, SE is the one that will get more kids into the Apple ecosystem, which might tie them in for longer and, importantly, squash the competitions numbers. Kids think iPhones are premium, so give them what they want- early. Keep the battery life, that is the most important keeper on a cheap phone. Good video.

[@BobBack86]

I haven’t read the articled by Bloomberg, however, I think who wants thinner phones are brands. Maybe it’s a way that Samsung and Apple think it can be shown as innovation. I don’t see people anywhere saying that they want thinner phones.

[@lakerskid2013]

Some may want smaller screen sizes but definitely not overall thickness being lower. I do think there needs to be some form of a Mini model even if it was something like an SE Mini. In that case you have something smaller like 5.4” and it’s more affordable, maybe not a flagship Mini like the 12 and 13 but it would be better than nothing.

[@BobBack86]

@ indeed. I don’t have much interest in a smaller size. Neither a bigger, I had the Pro Max and besides the battery I didn’t enjoy the phone, was bulky and doesn’t take advantage of the bigger screen. But I totally agree, I heard some people asking about a smaller size. I have some colleagues that loved the mini, so there’s definitely people looking for it. It’s like they want to create a thinner phone just to say that they can do it.

[@lakerskid2013]

@@BobBack86 Yeah, it’s almost like a flex in a way. I think a lot of people seem to not realize that there’s those out there with smaller hands who can benefit more from smaller phones. I remember the days where phones used to be smaller and basic/feature phones were in a much greater spotlight than they are today. Looking at my phone collection, I think it is good in a way with phones getting bigger as someone who has average sized hands but there still needs to be some smaller phones made for those kinds of people. Weirdly enough as someone who owns an iPhone 15 and upgraded from an 8 Plus, my 15 actually feels smaller than the 8 Plus did due to the decreased height despite the bigger screen size. My phone feels like it’s still 5.5” and not really the bigger 6.1” like it actually is because of the design for it which I’m completely fine because I wasn’t sure what to anticipate at the time with such a massive upgrade.

[@BobBack86]

@ Yeah, there are lots of people who would prefer a smaller phone. I totally get what you said about the change from the 8 to the 15. I also have the iPhone 15 and due to the thinner screen borders it’s not so big. For my hands it’s a great size. My wife almost went to the 12 mini some years ago, she just got the base 12 due to the battery. That’s my problem with smaller phones, the battery. It’s also my concern about thinner phones. As I said the Pro Max was great for battery life, I had the 13 Pro Max before but besides the battery it was a bad experience. Too heavy, bad to use with one hand, and the iOS UI did not take advantage of it, you have basically the same things but bigger. That’s why I got the 15, much better experience. Nowadays I’m only interested in something like a Foldable phone. Maybe an iPhone that can become something like an iPad Mini when unfolded would be nice, but I don’t think we are going to see this in the next 2 years. And I don’t want to think about the price 🤣

[@lakerskid2013]

@ I would love to see a foldable iPhone too and a design that’s something not like in these current foldable/flip phones. I think that there should be a design that resembles the old school flip phones except for the bottom it’s a second touchscreen instead of physical buttons and assuming the hinges are made with very strong and durable materials (which sadly the average flip phone does have those issues sometimes) then that would be the ultimate game changer since there would be no potential for a crease forming in the middle over time since it’s split screen.
