Apple's AirPods a smash hit, shipments could reach 28M in 2018
I've come full circle on these. I thought they were absurd when they were released. Now I'd like to own a pair. But I can't buy them until the case will allow me to put third party (or Apple?) silicone sleeves on the AirPods. It's the only way they will fit and stay in my ears. Please Apple. Just add a couple of millimeters of top end clearance in the case and I'll buy. -

Can only work if you're the only one on the road, it seems to me.. -
Apple's 'iPhone SE 2' rumored to ship in first half of 2018, made in India

For Halloween, I decorated using a HDTV connected up to my old iPhone 5 (running an older iOS, but still works). I put some YouTube videos on there to play for the kids who came to visit. I hadn’t used the 5/5s/5c/SE form factor in a long time, and I marveled at how useable, light, and slim that model was. And I know people who still use 5s models, despite the Internet trolls spinning the “disappointed” narrative when it was introduced.
Rather than paint it as out of date, I consider it one of Apple’s best designs: the quintessential iPhone. The refinement of Apple’s original design.
I wouldn’t mind if Apple introduced an updated iPod Touch with A10 and upgraded cameras and wireless.
I was considering buying the IPhone SE recently, but the price is high when considering the age of the hardware. If Apple keeps the same price point for the SE2 it will be a fantastic value.
I ended up refurbishing an IPhone 6s (cracked screen) at the Apple Store. It’s now in mint condition and should be supported for IOS upgrades for the next 2 years.
My sister had the 6s sitting in a drawer collecting dust. It’s amazing the number of people that buy new phones and don’t realize the value of the old one, even “broken”.
The 6s is a good size at 4.7” but the 4” (SE) is better if you keep it in your pocket while sitting.
Women probably prefer the larger phones because they lack useable pockets anyways. The 4” is a bit small for male “power” users, but the portability is great and the “phone + music” functions work well. Kids prefer larger than 4” for the games...
The IPhone SE is getting old in the tooth that’s why the SE2 is coming out. I would consider the SE2 if it was out (if I didn’t get a great deal on the 6s).
If someone was considering the SE, I’d tell them to wait for the SE2.
You “cherry picked” what to comment on... I also called the SE2 a “fantastic value”. -
