Really Apple? Rs. 39,000 for a 16GB device?
The launch of a new iPhone is always interesting. While Apple may have lost its penchant for interesting presentations, the reactions on the sidelines make it worth your while. The iPhone SE, launched yesterday, is Apple’s latest and…umm…smallest? It’s an iPhone 5S with the guts of the iPhone 6S and to quote Phil Schiller, it’s got a lot of grunt. Does it really? At Rs. 39,000, Apple is only offering 16GB of storage and a 12MP camera that is decidedly inferior to the Nexus 6P and Samsung Galaxy S6. We digress.
When last year we set out to cover the midnight launch of the iPhone 6S, we returned with what would turn into our best performing video of all time. We look forward to this year. In the meanwhile, here’s how social media spoke about the iPhone SE.
Yeah, us too!

Indeed it did!
An iPhone SE
is just like an ex girlfriend/boyfriend that got hotter after they left.
;p

There was that debate about what the SE stood for

iPhone SE = iPhone Super Encrypted. Because Apple really wants to stick it to the government. #AppleEvent

That's what we felt
From too good to be true to too dumb to be real. The story of iPhone SE's pricing.

We could go on and on, but we'll stop and hold out judgements till we get this device for review. Until then, watch this video.
