Apple marketing chief reveals what 'SE' in iPhone SE stands for

SE in really means Same Extortions. Give it to the people right where the sun don't shine. They still made another 16 gb iPhone with your ONLY upgrade option to pay another $100 for 64gb of storage. Whereas they made and released a 32gb iPad the same day as the 16 gb iPhone. Oh and don't forget Apple was listening to its milked customers, so they put 32 gb in their declining ipads. Sales. However they still put 16gb in their new iPhone. It will be interesting to see if Apple releases the iPhone 7 with a starting storage of only 16 gb again. Apple the great milking and flogging machine.

@sgodsell

Nice rant.

Now can you understand that Apple fans do not really care about Apple's pricing? They decide to spend their hard-end money on iPhones, regardless of the price.

Nothing you say will their mind.

Get over it! They aren't spending your money.

You mean they feel good when they are being cheated?

@submar

Being cheated? You see it that way, but Apple fans do not.

What I mean is this: Whatever amount they spend on iPhones DOES NOT CONCERN ME, nor YOU!

I personally see their pricing as a rip-off, that's why I do not buy iPhones. The only Apple device I use is the iPad. Because I need it for my job, not because I'm a fan of it.

If you see their pricing as a rip-off or cheating, then simply don't buy it!

Ranting won't change the mind of Apple fans who decide to buy iProducts, regardless of it's steep prices.

Definitely agree, sometimes feel that android and Apple fanboys can be likened to Jehovas witnesses, attempting to convert you to their choices. Y'know, iPhone is better for some people, and Android is better for others.

SE stands for Same-but Expensive!

24. darkkjedii (Posts: 24915; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

Why would you use a hyphen, it joins two words together.

27. techperson211 (Posts: 1280; Member since: 27 Feb 2014)

A typo error perhaps, but no need to correct him not unless you're so perfect about your grammar.

That's what he does when he can't counter attack him. That post got this Apple fan boy.

Dumbass couldn't read and write a year ago. And now he is correcting others. Lmao.

30. Nopers (Posts: 469; Member since: 01 Jun 2015)

Nah he hyphenated it so the acronym wouldn't be SBE if you know what I mean, if "Same" and "but" are joined that means it's just SE

36. Adreno (banned) (Posts: 755; Member since: 12 Mar 2016)

Right, I understood it too. @iusspandeh wad correct by hyphenating those words. :D

He doesn't know that. He's still learning English.

People usually attack someone's grammar when they have no other argument.

51. S-R-K (banned) (Posts: 304; Member since: 15 Mar 2016)

That's what this Apple fan boy is well known for.
That's what he does to everyone. When he is not perfect himself. Lol.

60. iWinAndroBerry (unregistered)

Lol. Exactly! Especially when he should have used a "?" instead of a comma since he was asking a question.

This phone has no competition, you barely find 4-inch Android phone that has following characteristics:

Width less than 60mm (one hand friendly)
A9 chips equivalent (Snapdragon820)
Apple pay equivalent
4k video shooting camera

If you're saying current situation then yeah this phone is special indeed.

@HuggoBaraCyanogenmod

Huh? Apple A9 is the equilavent of Snapdragon 820?
FALSE!

It's more like the equivalent of Snapdragon 810 or Exynos 7420.

820 ranked first with a score of 136383 above Apple’s latest A9 chip which scored 132657
Same.

Scumbag Edition.

64. ElixieR (Posts: 63; Member since: 01 May 2013)

more like Sh*t-Edition.

68. Arch_Fiend (Posts: 3371; Member since: 03 Oct 2015)

I totally guessed that it meant special edition.

3. Adreno (banned) (Posts: 755; Member since: 12 Mar 2016)

Just as how they trolled the iPhone SE with Squint Edition, Sheep Edition, Stupid Edition, s**t Edition, etc...

Oh! I chose to go with the more-appealing Special Edition description, not because I like it, but in order to not offend anyone.
