Spares Bin Special, just like the 5SE and 6th all the low-end iPads.

Is the iPhone XR and 8 camera hardware different? I had hoped it was the XR sensor, but it looks like it may still be the 8 sensor with software improvements from the A13. Or are they the same thing?
I'll have to wait for reviews to gauge whether it's improved. I was really hoping for quality close to the 11 camera. When the first SE came out I had the same camera as the current best in range.

Can’t check as I’m not working from home so no access , I would assume so

Take it you work for Apple then @Alpherah?
Apple site says dimensions are the same as the 8, so cases, screen protectors etc should be the same...
The new SE is essentially an 8 but just a new CPU...

You know what they are like though! I bet they move the ribbon cable a cm or something so it doesn't fit lol
I do, however I’m only going off supply leaks as they don’t give us training until it’s shipped, and part numbers etc usually a few months later as service strategy is usually whole unit replacements for two months (helps capture field data on failures)
Oooh, I'm severely tempted by this, haven't used an iPhone since the 3GS however this looks to be the best all round phone* anyone's released since the Nokia Lumia days, I've been using Xperia compacts since Windows Phone died but it looks like Sony has killed them off now so I think I'll grab me one of these

I think the iPhone 6s plus was the best overall phone experience I've ever had. An SE plus would obviously be up against more modern competition, but it would be a great device.
I should probably get with the times and give it a try.
I was the same. But Face ID is flawless for me.
I do like the button too though. So I’m happy with either.
I’m in no urgent rush where shaving off a few seconds bothers me that much
Could you not unlock your phone by accident with FaceID. I’m pretty sure I read something about that admittedly a while ago now.
It's got less to do with time for me, it's more a case of convenience.
I've never unlocked my phone by accident with FaceID, you very much need to be trying to unlock it - hence why I prefer TouchID.
I unlock my phone all the time with FaceID by mistake. If you take your phone out of your pocket and accidentally tap a notification it will initiate the FaceID unlock and open the notification, which can be very annoying if it's a message that may result in a read receipt, or if it's a notification you wanted to leave active to remind you to action it later.
That's not an accident of FaceID. If you lift your phone and look at it, it's going to unlock it - that's the entire point.
It's not a fault of FaceID if you tap a notification, either.

That would take my fancy, still on a 7 plus and don't fancy dropping to a smaller size with my chimp hands.
I think plus is always the way to go. However I’ve a X plus and I still hit other keys when typing. It may be eyesight or old age in my case.
I still don't think they've got the plus size right (at least for me). I have an 8 plus. The screen is a good size. I've not bothered upgrading as I don't need a bigger screen. Would be happier with losing a centimetre or two off the overall dimensions. 8 plus screen size bezel-less would be perfect.
Yeah, although it's much better having some bezel without without the notch IMO. I hate having all the little info icons relegated to be hidden in control centre on the phones with a notch. I wish on the face ID phones they just put all the sensors into the a slight top bezel and scrap the stupid notch all together.
