iPhone SE Makes Third Appearance on Apple's Clearance Store at $249—Act Fast

Apple has replenished stock of the iPhone SE on its online clearance store for the third time this month. These are brand new, unopened, and unlocked models starting at $249 in the United States. Availability dwindled very quickly in the each of the first two times the iPhone SE was added, so act fast.

Apple is offering the iPhone SE with 32GB of storage for $249 and with 128GB for $299 in Silver, Space Gray, Gold, and Rose Gold. Tech specs include a 4-inch Retina display, A9 chip, Touch ID, 12-megapixel rear camera, and 3.5mm headphone jack.

Prior to being pulled, the iPhone SE was available with 32GB and 128GB of storage for $349 and $449 respectively, so Apple is offering $100 to $150 off. The device was originally released in March 2016 and was popular among fans of smaller smartphones and those who preferred the iPhone 5-like design.

Test three initiated. This is remotely strange by Apple with these three separate clearance launches. I hope the SE is revived in some form or another. These are the products that deliver diversity for those who don’t want a larger phone.

I GOT IT I ****ING FINALLY GOT IT WOOOOOOO! 128GB in Space Gray!

What's funny is that I ordered a 64GB iPhone SE from an eBay seller basically new in box and it's arriving today because I didn't think this would happen again. Whoops. I guess I'll have to sell that privately now.

I'm just happy because I just missed the first two times.

If the SE had 3D Touch I would easily consider it as Apple’s best phone.

Either way, it’s an incredibly fast and reliable phone, at a perfect size and great price.

At this point, the size of that screen is comical. I get the impression that people want the physical phone size, but the larger screen size. So, an iPhone SE of those dimensions, but with a full-face screen (pun intended) would be hard to keep on the shelves.
No, it is not "comical"; actually, perhaps surprisingly, bigger is not always better, and some of us find it - the iPhone SE - just perfect for our needs.

It is a lovely, portable, reliable, phone with a terrific battery life.
