idk, the se has the same form factor, touch id, faster cpu, hardware for apple pay, wifi calling, camera that does live photos, and space grey is p good

its like, everything that was good about the 5, but better in every way

(and if you say, i dont care about apple pay for retail stuff, thats fine, but it is real nice to use it for in-app purchses and not have to trust lovely apps with my credit card info, with them just using the apple pay api)

we will in a few years when apple figures out and polishes the tech for screen-embedded fingerprint reader. right now there’s a single phone on the market which does that, and it’s a chinese android prototype

i'm not a fan, but i'm saying there's no reason for them to develop some fancy new touch id when face id exists

that fancy id doesn’t exist because they had technical problems finishing it in time for ecks, iirc

yes, but why would they keep developing it when they already have something that does work and doesn't require exotic new sensors?

dropping faceid would let them eliminate the notch and move one step closer to Ive's ideal featureless 1mm thick slab with the screen on one side.

yes that would mean the elimination of the selfie camera but that's a sacrifice he's willing to have you make.

i suspect more and more apple basically wants to turn every product of their into the glass slabs that pass for computers in westworld

Foxconn's upcoming $10 billion display factory in Wisconsin is more lucrative to the Apple supplier than first thought, with state and municipal sweeteners adding almost an extra $1 billion in benefits above an existing incentive package worth $3 billion, increasing the burden on taxpayers.
...

The state will be responsible for covering 40 percent of the public bonds used to finance all of the local expenses, in the event the project fails completely.
