If that’s what you want, the 13” MacBook Pro for $1299 should fit the bill.

This model only has two Thunderbolt ports, both on one side, and severely gimped internals.

The SE is not the top end iPhone either. He asked for the “iPhone SE” of MacBooks.

When it was released, it kind of was–it had essentially the internals of the flagship iPhone at the time (iPhone 6s), just in a smaller form factor. So think of it as what would be a 11" Retina MacBook Pro that was a clone of the early 2015 13" one internally, if one ever existed?

The iPhone SE doesn't have the 5.5" screen either.

True, but the iPhone SE copies an existing model. The existing models of Macbook came in both sizes (and 17", but that one was discontinued).
