iPhone SE being discontinued

I was shopping around for an iPhone SE 64gb on the weekend and noticed not many places are stocking it anymore.

JB-HI-FI told me they had one left and it was showing as a discontinued item for them.

With the recent BigW and Harvey Norman sale on this phone would people agree it is potentially on its way out already?

Anyone heard otherwise?

    With the recent BigW and Harvey Norman sale on this phone would people agree it is potentially on its way out already?

    It would seem that way.

    I picked up one recently for the wife from the mobileciti deal. Hopefully next gen they have a similar one (latest guts in the same form factor) as, for me, the SE/5/5S is spot on for size (well, preferred the 4S and earlier as it fit in my running shorts easily, but oh well).

  • I did a quick search, it still seems to be $679 at Harvey Norman and JB.
    I also prefer the form factor of the 5S and SE over the new 6 and 7's.

    Now I shall keep an eye out for any "clearance" sales…

    • I prefer the form-factor of the 5S too, but not its size.
      The boxy, square sides are much more grippier to hold.

      If they had an iPhone 7 Plus with that body, 5.5in display, and a Screen-to-Body ratio of >70% (ie/ slim bezels) then I'd be sold.
      Of course, I want that AUX port though.

      Until then, I'm gonna stay on Team Nexus.

        The SE was also sold at a more reasonable price too! - still expensive for what it is, but much cheaper compared to the 6 and 6S.

  • I wouldn't be surprised. I brought a gold 64gb from the recent mobilciti 10% off deal and think its a great phone coming from a LG G2.

    Downside about waiting for sales is if the SE is discontinued you may not hear about it until Apple withdrawals it.

    Maybe you could try getting the 10% off JB gift cards at coles deal to reduce the price and then TRS it like I am?

    • I thought about buying JB gift card and do what you did, except i can't find stock with JB. I want to make sure there is stock before spending that much on a giftcard. Too bad, I missed out on the big w sale! It is such a good deal if combining it with wish giftcard (5% off) + TRS. If no sale after christmas, i'll just buy it. That's if i can find a stock at the local big w at all. Otherwise, will just order it online. It looks like stock is coming back online. Apple has no plan to redevelop a new gen SE. :(

        You'd have to call around at Big Ws because they really only stock the 16gb version.

        Even at mobiciti for $729 its not a bad price. In Bangkok now and they go for $800 AUD and in NZ its around the same price!
