On: Ask HN: Why is there no small Android phone?

The mini is said to be superseded by a new SE release coming April..!

I was under the assumption the SE is a budget phone line to target the $500 price range, while the mini is a premium phone with better features targeting the $1k price range.

Also, the 13 mini is far superior to the SE in terms of form factor. The 2020 SE is still way too big.

There are no credible rumors that the 2022 SE will be anything like the Mini. Most likely is that the SE will get iPhone 13 internals, mainly SOC and camera, and no external changes at all. It’s just a spec bump.

I expect external change, but going to use old iPhone XR/11 chassis. That's how SE/SE2 made.
