5 Reasons to Wait for the iPhone SE 2 & 8 Reasons Not To

Don't Wait If You Find Something You Love

Don't let the rumored iPhone SE 2 launch hold you back. 

If you don't care about having the latest specs and software features and simply want a cheap and solid experience paired with a 4-inch iPhone display, you might just want to pickup the iPhone SE right now. 

The iPhone SE is getting older, but it's still a very capable phone. It's also much cheaper than it used to be back in the day. 

If you're willing to hunt around a little more, you might be able to find it cheaper on resale sites like eBay and Craigslist. 

Most plans allow you to upgrade to a new device after a year, when you trade in your phone. So if you were to buy a new device (like the iPhone SE) in the near future, you'd be able to pick up an iPhone SE 2 a year from now. 

The iPhone SE 2 already has serious competition and some of that competition is from Apple itself.

We've mentioned the current iPhone SE model, but devices like the iPhone 7 and iPhone 6s are worth a look at well.

There's also a wealth of Android competition. The Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ are excellent devices and you don't have to pay top dollar for them. Same goes for the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL from Google. 

There are also a ton of cheap, smaller screen Android phones like the Google Pixel, Sony Xperia X Compact, and Moto E4.

Before you commit to waiting for a phone that may or may not exist, make sure you dig into iPhone SE 2 alternatives including some outside of Apple.
