Wow, a "cheap" iPhone. With the power of the iPhone 6.

 

The first time I might actually buy an iPhone new.

 

Apple unveils smaller iPhone and iPad Pro - BBC News

 

Apple has announced smaller versions of the iPhone and iPad Pro at an event hosted in San Francisco and streamed online.

The iPhone SE has the same processing and graphics performance of the larger Apple 6S, the firm said, and can capture 4K video.

The new iPad Pro will have a 9.7 inch screen - the same size as the original iPad.

The iPhone SE will will be available in 110 countries by the end of May.

With a starting price of $399/$499 (£277/£346) the new iPhone is the "most affordable price ever" for a brand new handset, Apple added.

Apple said it sold 30 million four-inch handsets last year.

Apple's sales have slowed in recent months but so has the smartphone market in general, with some analysts predicting up to a 15% decline in shipments in the first quarter of 2016.

More like £359 for the useless 16GB and £439 for the 64GB!

They will give me £120 for my old iPhone. (iPhone 5)

With a starting price of $399/$499 (£277/£346) the new iPhone is the "most affordable price ever" for a brand new handset, Apple added.

Have the BBC never heard of VAT? $399 = £332.90 (£277.42 + £55.48).

 

If they do not know what the actual UK prices are why not update the article later after they have checked the UK Apple website?

16GB is fine. My iPhone 6 has my entire music collection, photo collection and over 100 Apps on. Also all my documents with iCloud drive and OneDrive yet still has 1GB free and it's the 16GB version. Ever heard of the cloud?

 

Apple also use a technology called 'App Thining' to further reduce required space.

 

Some corporates also like to buy staff iPhones, if its just for email and a few apps on the go , 16GB makes sense too.
