    Hoping they use this battery advancement on the iPad Mini 5!

    Have you heard of "sim free" version of the iPhone?  Only the "naive" would buy the other versions if they pay the full price!  Got my X sim-free model yesterday!

  • Apple's 'iPhone SE 2' rumored to ship in first half of 2018, made in India

    Okay, maybe Apple should make a premium 5.2" iPhone that is the same size as the current 4" SE and a second 4" - the so called "budget" iPhone.  That way, people would want a small form factor but like a more modern looking and updated technology can spring for the $1,000 model and then budget person can spring for the $500 model.  Make a good marketing strategy.

    I love my iPhone SE. loved my 5S before it. While I would really like the A11 chip to be in this, I might still buy it if it only has an A10 so long as they keep the headphone jack and the present Touch ID button vs the force touch version or whatever it is that’s different about the iPhone 7 and newer. The A9 does all I need it to do so I am in no rush to upgrade but knowing apples track record if I want the headphone jack for the foreseeable future I may have to buy this one in March, assuming it even has a jack.
    Present SE fingerprint reader is not as accurate as the non mechanical built-in to the newer technology iPhons!

    Nope!  I'm not buying it:
    That limits the new phones to forcing people to choose between either a high-end X upgrade or a large screen.   To many people like the 6, 7 & 8 sized phones to force them up into ultra-premium to get one.  

    Plus, it's time for an SE update.  THAT should be more interesting than anything else -- there are so many ways to go there -- particularly if/when Apple propagates FaceId throughout its line up.

    Another interesting thing to watch is what happens to the iPad Mini.  For many uses its the perfect size.  But, like the SE, its internals are getting further and further out of date.
    SE update is expected next spring. It won't have an edge-to-edge display — it will be a budget model.
    Tim Cook said that all future iPhone will have the X interface!  That means no home button. I think the current 4" to become the  future  5.2" model will have the look of the X display!  I would be willing to pay $1,000 or more if Apple made the 5.2" iPhone with the same components as the current X inside.
