iPhone 5se and iPad Air 3 to Use A9 and A9X Processors

If that is true, it shows that Tim Cook has even less taste (regarding innovation) than the already low taste he has previously displayed during his tenure as CEO.
If you hardly used it before, how will an A9X processor make it more useful to you?
I'm really dreading that the inclusion of a9x means they will withhold the pencil to differentiate from the Pro. Sad, because that would have gotten my sale. Curious if another speed bump is really going to boost sales since I haven't heard any complaints that processing power is where the iPad is falling behind.
Processing speed in a tablet is just a useless spec these days. I got "suckered" into upgrading because I foolishly convinced myself that somehow a faster processor meant a better iPad experience and the speed/experience has remained essentially the same since first gen.

Because it has an X after it.

Can we stop hearing about this "5SE" , its boring now .
People getting excited like a 4 inch phone is some radical new idea

Awesome, this new iPad is shaping up to be an extremely nice device for my mum, a nice fast processor, light and thin, and with the four speaker system. It'll run her card games nicely haha, but it will run her TV catchup services well and offer better sound than her current iPad 3.
Wonder if it will come with 4 or 3GB RAM.

There already is...
Edit: Oh, you mean for the 4 inch iPhone. I don't see why there wouldn't be.
I am absolutely loving my iPhone 6s because it FLIES through everything.
The A9 is wickedly fast. But the most impressive improvement that everyone seems to overlook on the iPhone 6s has over previous iPhones (and any smartphone available right now) is the NVMe controller and the faster flash.
Man, it's fast.
Shockingly fast.
Most notable speed improvements can be traced back to the faster flash, although it is a combination of faster RAM, CPU, and flash.
So anyway, I hope the 5se has the A9 in combination with the NVMe-based flash, otherwise the speed improvements won't be as substancial as they are on the 6s.

Great! Now put 2GB RAM inside that iphone and just call it "mini" and I'm in.
I think a few months to shrink it down is OK, making big phones is easy.
Fitting the same stuff in a smaller device is harder.
Well it's pretty radical compared to that gorilla 6S+, or at least seems that way to me. Happy camper here!
They may call it whatever they want. Finally a 4" screen again, and A9 chip? I'll call it grrrreat.
Ahem, the Pencil is showing 'In stock' and 'Available for immediate in store pick-up' on Apple Store UK. This is stupidly getting my hopes-up. I don't think it's going to happen, but absolutely hope it does!
Can we stop calling it a 5se? I doubt that will be its name.
Probably not, but you should wait for the keynote to make up your mind. I don't think this update is meant for you. Eventually your 5S will be worn out or just not be good enough, but by then there will be a "6se" or something like that for you that will represent a bigger leap forward (assuming you're set on staying with a 4" screen).
I think this update is so Apple can have Apple Pay on all new handsets it sells. Since that's not useful for you (yet) wherever you are, it isn't a selling point for you.
Say what?!? I went from a first gen to an Air, and there was a huge difference.
I'm expecting an underclocked A9X, but that's fine. Very happy with this news, can't wait to upgrade my old iPad 3rd gen to this new Air 3!
I keep seeing this comment from various users and think, why wouldn't they want to sell a $100 accessory? IMO, even iPhone 7 Plus will support it.
Once we know its name, we can call it by its name. Until then, "5se" works as a placeholder, because we know what it means. Changing to a new temporary name for this rumored device at this point would be confusing.
I know it's pretty unlikely, but personally I hope they call it the iPhone Mini. No numeral, like the MacBooks. They don't have to update it every year, maybe every 2 years. This would be a good transition to eventually having no number models, with the iPhone Mini, iPhone, iPhone (Pro/Plus).
