That is true about the contract, but the service and coverage are good so far.

If the new iPhone SE costs $399 for a 64 GB model then that is what you would pay if you buy it unlocked from Apple and you can take it to any carrier and possibly get a decent monthly plan for $30 or $35, I am almost certain you pay more than that. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Carolyn Sent: Monday, April 6, 2020 8:20 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: The iPhone Special Edition 2020 or whatever it wil be called from apple Insider I have a 64 11, and got it for $648, so $400 dollars for the SE?

Apart from that this will be just an iPhone 8 with a faster processor and believe me, you most likely won't notice much of a difference for normal day-to-day things, maybe apps open just a quarter second faster and you would probably notice a difference with really CPU and RAM intensive games or things like video editing, but in my opinion upgrading to this phone if you have an iPhone 8 is a waste of money. My wife and I both have the iPhone 8 as well, we both have 64 Gb models and my wife is sighted and does more with her phone in terms of editing photos and such, but we have no plans to upgrade. I have had 64 Gb phones ever since my iPhone 4S in 2011 and never ran out of space even when I had my 25 Gb music library on my phone. Now that I have Apple Music I don't store any music on my phone any more and even with about 500 pictures and a few dozen videos on my phone as well as over 100 apps I still have well over 30 Gb of free space which after you count the space iOS takes up is well over half. The only time I would buy a 128 Gb phone is if Apple at some point makes that their lowest available option, otherwise I would just spend an extra $100 for something I don't need. Of course that is me and if you think you need this much storage then that is fine, but always look at what size phone you have now and how much free space you have, if it's plenty there is probably little reason to buy a phone with more storage. If you just bought a new iPhone 8 last year there is no reason why you can't use that phone for another 2 or 3 years or even 4 years although if you do you might want to spend the $40 or $50 and get a new battery put in after a couple more years or whenever you notice you have to charge more often or that your battery health drops below 83 or 85%.
