I can already hear the breathless outrage from people who haven't realized that if they don't buy one, the lack of user serviceability doesn't affect them.
Disappointing news at best. We need a phone, not another miniature tablet. I don't understand why Apple refuses to spend minimal resources to cater an underserved market. And I don't accept that updating the internals of the widely-lauded SE form presents daunting engineering challenges to Apple.
I'll never understand the motivation behind this ridiculous form factor. This from the company that introduced on-screen keyboards as an alternative to inflexible, molded plastic comes an unwelcome intrusion to the screen that's inflexible, molded plastic.
