iPhone SE launch 21st March

aurichie · 21-03-2016, 05:55

Just over 12 hours to go until the Apple media event starts streaming out to the world. I can't wait. I have a feeling there are going to be some truly amazing new products unveiled.

You don't sound as keen as I expected. Only a feeling?

I think the comment 'each to their own' earlier in the thread is about it. No phone is too big or too small. No OS is too locked down or too open. It's about personal choice. If a re-vamped 5S with all the latest functionality of the 6S is perfect for someone, why would that be a problem.

Reading back through this thread, it's a shame that it has turned into another Apple hate thread. In fact it's more about Android than iOS. Part of growing up is accepting that different people have different needs and desires. Crusades are rarely popular in retrospect.

I'm going to watch it on my Apple TV.

jonmorris · 21-03-2016, 16:23

I'll be watching on my iMac 5K. Yeah! Apple! Apple! Apple!

Best check my wallet is ready for me to buy everything it announces tonight! Yaaaay!

aurichie · 21-03-2016, 16:40

20 minutes to go. My wallet is ready. Let's go!!!

Everything Goes · 21-03-2016, 17:08

Tim starts of by going over 40 years of Apple and talking about the US government and a certain pesky locked iPhone which im sure the CIA can unlock if they really wanted to....

1manonthebog · 21-03-2016, 17:17

Some crap talked at these events, just get to the point please. Now talking about Diabetes.

Inspiration · 21-03-2016, 17:50

I fear Apple are becoming way too complicated. I'm losing track of all of these models. Now they're doing a smaller iPad Pro after saying the original had to be bigger because that's what is required for a "pro" tablet. Err ok.. so why make it smaller?

JasonWatkins · 21-03-2016, 18:06

Maximum memory of 32gb for the SE so not interested. The smaller size might have tempted me to downgrade but I'll stick with what I've got

jonmorris · 21-03-2016, 18:09

What a bag o'shite. 16GB entry level. Wow!

There's not a 32gb model, only 16gb and 64gb

32? That's crap. I would now never buy a phone less than 64GB, but then I wouldn't consider a 4" phone either, quite happy with the size of the 6S.

according to the live feed on the daily mirror website, they announced two models - a 16gb and 32gb. no mention of a 64gb model so maybe they got it wrong ?

I've also only ever gone for 64gb models, generally out of necessity, but now I've got even more music on my 6s I need 128gb just as a starting point

Possibly they did, at least according to this image (from the Techradar site)

33rd Governor · 21-03-2016, 18:20

I like it, I wanted a new small one, may well buy. Phone memory is not that important, everything should be in the cloud and synced to a main device.

AxeVictim · 21-03-2016, 18:22

16 & 64gb http://www.theverge.com/2016/3/21/11...e-release-date

1manonthebog · 21-03-2016, 18:31

Its 16 and 64, the 64 is $100 more expensive

Yes that answer was quietly skipped over (we were all asking ourselves) after he told us all about the 12.9 pro and how much it was loved etc etc (which i'm sure it is)

Could not help but marvel at what the new one does but kept thinking how much better the experience will be on the bigger fellow.

justjax · 21-03-2016, 18:43

Very disappointing. Couldn't go back to a 4" phone but I get that some wanted a new 4" version, but I think the majority will be disappointed that it looks like a 3-4 year old 5/5S. I don't get why Apple didn't go with the same form factor as the 6/6S, makes no sense. Just looked super thick and dated. Awful.

If we ignore the fact that 'I think you will find...' is the most patronising expression in the English language, I think you will find that saying that Android "shapes what Apple do' on the basis of a list of things that Android had first, while ignoring anything that iOS had first kinda makes that a pretty ridiculous general claim to make.

re BIB - did they actually say that?

Is the 13" MBP confusing as well because of the 15" MBP?

tdenson · 21-03-2016, 18:49

Has anyone seen a UK price yet for the SE ?
