    Recently Apple reduced the prices to €419 for the 32gb model and €529 for the 128gb.

    These reductions have not yet been applied by the shops and service providers.

    The 32gb remains at €369 in Argos, who charge €449 for the 16gb model and €659 for the 128gb. That’s crazy!

    The cheapest I have seen the 32gb is €479 for a network locked one.

    If Argos were to pass on the reductions the 32gb would be €269.

    I got the 32gb iPhone SE in Argos a couple of months back when I saw the thread on Bargain Alerts.

    Suits me as it is basically a 6s in a 5's shell and I don't really like the gigantic phones.

    I was absolutely delighted with the SE for that price and spec. If you want it then go for it at the Argos price. Doubt it will go down much cheaper. The 5s brand new with Argos is €359.00. The SE is massively better in all aspects for a tenner more.

    I bought the iPhone SE brand new for $179 on Virgin Mobile in the USA. Hell of a lot cheaper than roaming with my IP7.

    The 5s was only $99 on Virgin Mobile USA whilst €379 here.

    Unbelievable this rip off country charges over €200 for a refurbished 5s.

    The SE is the best value phone going IMO, and I say that as someone who needs a big screen.

    So this might sound like a stupid question, but is there any reason why I can't ask a friend of mine to buy one in Switzerland & get them to bring it to Ireland so that ai can use it here?

    Has anyone ever seen the 128GB SE in a Vodafone shop? I'm now eligible for an upgrade (have 64GB SE) but the selection on offer is crap.

    Get the 7. You’ll get an extra iOS update

    The lack of a headphone jack is putting me off the 7. I also prefer a smaller sized phone.

    Ah. It’s possible the 128gb is no longer available. Apple did this with the 5c. They discontinued the 16gb and 32gb models when the 6 came out. They also screwed a lot of 5c owners with the 32-bit device not supporting iOS11. It was released at the same time as the 5s so you’d assume it would’ve got a compatible version of ios11.

    Komplett now have the 32gb SE for €319 and the iPhone 6 32gb for €329 new and unlocked.
    The 6 is a better bargain.

    I need 128GB minimum for my music. Constantly having to rotate iTunes playlists to fit.

    Surely Spotify / Apple Music can help with the majority of that?


    My iTunes solely consists of CDs and LPs ripped from my own collection. I only listen to iTunes when I am commuting (via the phone). When I am at home, I listen to a record or CD via the turntable / CD player.



    I don't bother with Spotify because there's so much missing from it.



    The reason I want a bigger memory is to have more choice of music to listen to while commuting.
