Pre-orders for all configurations of iPhone SE opened with an estimated delivery date of March 18, but customers in the United States ordering any version of the iPhone SE are now facing an estimated delivery window of March 29, or March 28 if additional shipping costs are paid. All configurations of the iPhone SE will be available for launch day in-store pickup on March 18, but inventory could run out quite quickly for some configurations.

Apple on Friday also started accepting orders for the new iPad Air, which remains available for launch day delivery on March 18 at the time of writing this.

People are actually buying this. Seriously.
Yes, they are. Why not?

It has the newest chip, it has 5g, it's under $500, and for people that want it, Touch ID. Sounds good to me.

Not everyone cares about OLED and bezels.
