Clearing stock and preparing the market for an SE sized replacement?

Already tears for fears there will be no Mini iPhone model on Wednesday.
Old Sparky SE will have to hang on a while longer. (sniff...)😢

The SE was introduced in a non-iPhone event.  It will likely be upgraded I would think the same way.

Apple already has a lot on its plate with 3 new phone models, a new watch, and possibly new iPads. I would imagine an SE event could happen in the winter months. 

It’s to the point where I’m genuinely impressed if Siri correctly answers a question that is beyond the most basic of queries.  Like most others on this message board, using Siri is more often than not, an exercise in aggravation.

For a service that was released in 2011 with the iPhone 4S, I’m shocked at how poor the implementation still is.

I'm fairly critical about product flaws, but this one is a lofty stretch.

By the same token...

McDonalds should weigh customers as they enter and exit, and announce their weight gain each visit,
Netflix should automatically update your doctor of your Square Eyes data,
And Couches should detect and display your Potato time when you sit on them.

Or maybe we could just be responsible for our own actions.

McDonald's does have their nutritional data available for customers to be able to make better decisions on what they eat (or don't) from them. On some packaging, the data is also printed on the outside.  None of this absolves the person of their ultimate decision, but it does empower them to make more informed decisions. 

Information does not have to be intrusive to be useful. But to reach a substantial audience, it should be conveniently accessible. Apple can surely make something like this work without breaking the user experience. 

It's likely that bringing this information into the limelight will help spur constructive conversation and research into the addictive qualities of smartphone useage that could benefit millions around the word.
