Why couldn't they have kept the flat sides of the 'current' SE... ? That form factor is still the best.

No doubt cheaper to reuse the existing iPhone 8 chassis. Probably a fair bit cheaper to manufacture at this point too.

The rumor mill suggests the next generation of flagship phones are going to have flat sides. So I'm guessing it's a way to differentiate and present flat edges as denoting "premium." The iPad Pro has flat sides too.

It will come back with the iPhone 12 Pro as the "Pro" form factor, inspired from the iPad Pro. No one will remember the 1st generation SE by then, and everyone will be blown away.
