Hi Craig, Yes, but if you wait a week or two you will probably get an SE for free although I would advise against the SE. The SE is basically a 6S with respect to processor and so on, of course it has the smaller 4 inch screen and unlike the 6S/6S Plus, the SE does not have 3D Touch and it still has the first generation touch Id home button. In the 6S/6S Plus this was upgraded to a faster and I think more reliable second generation touch Id home button. The fact is that the iPhone 6S/6S Plus came out in the fall of 2015 and while the SE was released in spring of 2016 it is as I said basically a device of that generation so by now 3 years old. Also, there is little point in upgrading to iOS 11 now when iOS 12 will be released to the public in 2 weeks. iOS 12 is going to be better at the first 12.0 release than iOS 11.4.1 is which was released in early July and which I think is the latest iOS 11 release. You may not need or want the latest and greatest and that’s perfectly fine, but I would at least wait since there are rumours that Apple may update the SE as well although this may not be announced in this keynote, it could verywell be a muchmore silent upgrade, but like I said, to buy an iPhone a week before the major annual keynote is not the best choice. Even if the SE is discontinued, there will still be inventory for a little while afterwards and carriers will be looking to get rid of that. Also, Also, which capacity is it that is being offered for $100 by your carrier? I just had a look on the Apple website and here in Canada I can buy a brandnew unlocked iPhone SE 32Gb from Apple without any contract for $479 canadian, I assume this wold be $350 in the US, the second option, the 128Gb model, is $599 Canadian, probably it would be $450 in the US. If your carriers still charges $100 and requires you to lock yourself into a 2-year plan then that is not such a hot deal in my opinion. If places like Best Buy or Target in the US have inventory after next week there is a good chance you’ll be able to get an even better deal.

I know about the upcoming Apple grand presentation, but even if the 9 or something like it materializes, the low price tag on the SE is something to consider. Thanks for responding.

Absolutely up to you on this one, but FYI Apple will be holding a special event next week with their new iPhones. If the rumours out there are true, the SE could be replaced with a 6.1-inch iPhone, possibly named iPhone 9 or even iPhone 11. All will be revealed next week.

I am considering replacing my iPhone with an iPhone SE since my carrier is offering the latter for $100. I don't want a phone with lots of bells and whistles, but I would like one that runs iOS 11X, which the iPhone does not allow. Are there compelling reasons why I should not upgrade to the SE? Thanks for any advice. Craig -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
