The iPhone SE should be updated from a 6s equivalent to a 7 equivalent. A10 processor, new 12 mp camera, Touch ID 2, and 3D Touch.

Or just make a smaller phone size with all the latest goodies... and 'gods of thin design forbid' make it thicker to do so.

99.9 percent of Apples patches should not require a middle man either...

How much do you trust your ISPs?

I hope Apple is smart enough to authenticate everything when the patch hits the phone (because you know the ISPs are going to try to fiddle with it).

The new FCC regulator is in bed with the ISPs.  It's all up to Apple now.

What are you smoking?

While there's no reason to assume that Apple's signed updated have been compromised, it's reasonable to question the "chain of custody" where a middle-man has access to your data between the source and destination. And it's not like this isn't the first time an ISP has surreptitiously injected code, seen hackers violate an installers, and heard about gov't agencies looking for backdoors into the root of OSes. We've even seen Xcode itself violated to inject malware as it compiled.

I envision wait-persons getting stiffed for tips much more frequently with a system like this. Less face-to-face to remind you that a real person waited on you.

which is good.

Why should i pay 20% simply for someone bringing me my food? Tipping in resturants are getting out of hand.

Its basically a guilt trip. Get crappy service and you still have to pay 20% or else your receipt ends up on twitter.

I'm sorry but a basic touch screen can do everything a waitress can do in MOST RESTURANTS. Unless you have special needs or have no idea what to buy, no tip is needed.

When I eat its simple. Order food. Done. Bring me my food. Bring me my check. Literally takes the waiter 1 minute of labor. Why the hell am I paying friken 20% for that level of non-service?

I've done all I can, and simply don't go out to eat anymore. If we're not cooking it, we take out. And these days almost every place is forced to offer a Take Out option, or lose business.

I'm with you 100%. Tipping is beyond ridiculous. Restaurants are getting away with murder. Charging obscene prices for food, and then not even paying their staff, and making that a separate responsibility of the customer. Insane.
