It will most certainly receive updates longer, but in 2 or 3 years a very large number of people will want to get a new iPhone anyways with 5G support and if you are talking 2 or 3 years it makes little sense to me to spend money now for upgrading from an iPhone 8 to a new SE and then in 2 or 3 years you again spend money to get whichever phone you choose with 5G support. I think once 5G is widely available it will make an incredible amount of difference and it may open up many new doors for apps which use AI and AR and the new iPhone SE will most certainly not have 5G support yet, that is probably reserved for the new top end phones this fall. Going from 2 to 3 Gb of RAM and even from an A11 to an A13 processor probably is not such a big deal for most people who are doing their usual every-day stuff like making phone calls, sending messages, checking Facebook, reading and sending emails, listening to music and audio books and so on. For people who are still on an iPhone 6S let alone a 6 or 5S it is absolutely worthwhile to upgrade, even for those with an iPhone 7 it makes some sense, but having an iPhone 8 there is absolutely nothing which gets me excited about this new iPhone SE.

The new SE. Faster chip more Ram. It is supposed to come with 3 gb of Ram. The a 13 chip is faster. It will receive updates longer than the iPhone 8 most likely. -----Original Message----- From: 'Kimberly Samco' via VIPhone <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 8, 2020 12:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: iPhone 8 vs the new SE 2020? Hello, I’ve been watching the conversation aboutthe new SE with interest. I was curious and looked on E Bay at iPhone 8 prices and they are quite affordable. For the sake of this conversation let’s assume that the prices are close, which is the more updated phone? The 8 or new SE?
