Wake me up when Tim throws his money into a pot to defeat trump.
Until then it’s just a goddamned phone.

So wow, a light-field camera, eh? That’s pretty cool. I still can’t say I’m particularly tempted to upgrade from my current iPhone… 4. Maybe in another few years.

I know I’m arguing with Apple here and not with you, but literally every straphanging mass transit commuter in the world begs to differ.

What, no Xr Max?

I actually prefer a phablet (my current daily driver, a relatively inexpensive LG Stylo 2 Plus, has a 5.7" screen). Even that’s a good deal smaller than a classic Trimline handset, though. Did Apple can the SE due to poor sales, or was that just another in a long series of dick moves by them?

Ah yes, the three genders. Xs, Xs Max and Xr.

The first Apple products were sold in Mountain View, now they’re sold by Mountain Dew.

When people started voting for fascism in their millions, I thought I couldn’t get any angrier, but now you’re telling me Apple has dared to release products?

It’s pronounced 10 r and 10 s. (Yeah, not a whole lot better.)

that’s the whole reason I’m leaving Apple. They seem to abandon everything I need/want.

Face ID = ubiquitous always on camera?
No thanks, Apple. I’ll pass on that.

Still no telepathic user interface.

Seriously? Who does a better job? Google support seems to be a Python script. Microsoft is great, as long as you have an enterprise agreement.

if they wanted it to be pronounced “10R” and “10S” they would name it "10R and “10S”

Dick move. Yet another.

It doesn’t really work that way.
And yet the SE is almost identical, outwardly. As was the 5s before it. Who cares if it looks odd? I certainly don’t (and don’t think it does look odd, for that matter). It’s a size that a lot of us prefer. Even as an oldish, fogeyish person with the gradually deteriorating eyesight that comes with age, I much prefer a smaller phone.
Mine is two years old. If my previous phone (iPhone 5) is any indication that means I should get another two years out of it before it starts falling apart. Maybe three if I’m careful… but I tend not to be. I’m hopeful that it will still be available in a couple of years, even if I have to buy it from a carrier. I think that’s likely; my carrier still offers the iPhone 6, which was introduced four years ago.
The new iPhone XR so beautiful
I agree. For years now I’ve called the operating system “OS ex”, not “OS ten”. A failing in me? Maybe, but I’m pretty sure it’s not just me.
Especially when they combine the X with other letters… Should “Xs Max” be pronounced “Tens Maten”
Hm. Now that I’ve said it a few times to myself, maybe it should.
Introducing the new iPhone Tens Maten! Lick it. Go on. Liiiiiiiick iiiiit. What’s that you taste? Success!
