So something as subjective as liking the SE or having the thought it is close to perfection means that your misguided?

SE is nowhere near close to perfection.So something as subjective as liking the SE or having the thought it is close to perfection means that your misguided?
I have no doubt that Apple has already manufactured squillions of SE's to last for 3 years, they'll maybe drop the price a bit after the first two.
In your opinion; as it applies to you. Somebody can't be misguided because they don't agree with you opinion is the point.SE is nowhere near close to perfection.
That's because the SE was a 5S with a new CPU. Chances are the PCB was identical enough that it was a cheap retooling, considering that all the other parts are identical to the 5S or the 6S.
It's likely that the "loss of the 3.5mm headphone jack", the W1 chip, and so forth require substantial changes to the PCB thus swapping the CPU and doing nothing else isn't possible.
Also take note that the Capacity (16GB and 64GB) aren't available on the 7 (32GB, 128GB, 256GB)
Shhhhh, You've exposed Tim Cook's secret to keep the company growing! Once the bubble bursts, and it will at this rate, it will all be clear to everyone.
It's really an easy decision without complaining about it.....then don't buy it. There are other options and no one is forcing you.
Of course pushing low resolution pixels around doesn't exactly take much power now does it..thats ok, SE with A9/2GB on an 1136x640 screen SCREAMS performance
I've been happy with mine
What does "low resolution pixels" even mean?
The SE has the same density as the iPhone 7 I.e. 326ppi
Obviously with a smaller screen there are less pixels to manage, but that is exactly the point made by the post you responded to.
Same success as the 5C. Drop features and still charge a premium. The SE could be interesting with 3Dtouch maybe. Design wise it's very nice and the SoC is screaming with that little screen but I wish they did a lineup with three sizes and the same design and features sans the cameras of the Plus.
That's a pitty. I was seriously considering the SE next year to upgrade my 5s; I can get a 64Gb SE for free on contract unlike the other models.
U quoted the screen resolution as if it's something special, it's not even baby hd 720p, not exactly taxing the processors now is it....
Please don't use the iPhone 7 as some hi tech device, far from it..
You mean these ugly completely bezel-free mockups going around letting the iPhone look like a fish or something?
I pray to god this will never happen!

lol, I hope for every company in the world that you will never become one of their deciders. You are wrong in so many ways..
No it isnt, I got my mum an iphone se because it was the only decently spec/supported phone which she was comfortable holding.
this is actually good news. It means they won't issue an IOS update that will gimp earlier iPhones for another few years.
Great synopsis on the state of Apple and its likely trajectory in the next 10-15 years. Here: https://steveblank.com/2016/10/24/w...allmer-and-why-he-still-has-his-job-at-apple/
If the iphone 7 isn't high tech, there is no high tech mobile cellular phone device out there. Certainly no android device or windows device then by that bench mark.
I don't know. But if smartphones are to be a pocket computers for apps and all sorts of things, miniature 4" display is not gonna cut it for most people. I don't use phablet but I can see a lot of them being used. Sometime I think I see more phablet being used then 4.7". People want one pocket device that does almost everything. And small screens just don't seem right for that purpose.
I dont know why, but when I went from a white 5 to a space-gray SE, it felt like a completely new phone to me. Somehow the space-gray variant is extremely aesthetically pleasing.
Somehow that device just works for me. I'm just going to keep attention to iOS updates not slowing down the phone in the future and stop updating once they do. (According to reviews)

That's the funniest (and most horribly accurate future prediction) I've seen yet.
"Get used to it fanboy - it's the headphone socket next!"
Genius!
