"AirPod 2" I've been waiting and waiting. (Please, Apple?)

My dream:
A new iPhone SE with larger screen realestate, 3D touch, "Reachability", and AirPods2 bundled in-box.
For this, I will pay you anything you ask, Apple. ANYTHING!!

So you want the SE, but with a larger screen? I don't know about the bundle, but the phone you want already exists..it's called the iPhone 8.  

I said bigger "screen", not bigger "handset".

If the SE screen grew only very slightly... just expanded with same aspect ratio to the same as current SE body width but with minimal ('no' ) side bezels like the X, then that would be fine with the chin/forehead removed, or just keep it 4" in OLED with all bezels gone like the X to give a great mini phone...

I'm hoping for this mini but full featured option (with option for enough ram to store all my lossless music) to replace the iPhone 6 I got handed down from the wife... produce it in a titanium body so no worry about minor wear/tear so can also forget about needing any case.

See post 21....

 When you resort to name-calling without actually disputing what was said all you accomplish is reinforcing the OP's beliefs, so then that FUD simply gets repeated somewhere else framed as fact. If effect you're giving blood to FUD by being lazy and doing just the opposite of what you should IMHO.

...but do whatever you like. I just think you could do better. 

Defend this then...

 "Google could continue to collect personal data from users, even if they use the incognito mode in the Chrome web browser, a study has found."


https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/google-chrome-incognito-mode-personal-data-private-browser-a8502386.html

 "A researcher from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, discovered that Google could retroactively link a person's private browsing to the usernames and account information they use online. "While such data is collected with user-anonymous identifiers, Google has the ability to connect this collected information with a user's personal credentials stored in their Google Account," the study states. "

Or it’s deliberate misinformation.

It is more in this companies (and the FBI et al) interest to keep this information hidden...

UNLESS

you want to get the gullible to unlock their phone for you - 

CIA: unlock your phone!
Person of Interest: No.
CIA: look, just go ahead and unlock it will you. We can get it unlocked anyway... haven’t you seen the news? It’s been on Twitter and everything... oh, and we’ll charge you the 1,500 plus shipping and handling also.
Person of Interest: Oh crikey, you’re right. Here, let me unlock that for you.

Why would you even be waiting for the 'airpower'?

Got a Triple QI charging pad from Ikea here in Thailand - works great and has a USB port for charging a non-qi device also.

It's $60 in the USA it seems....

ps they also do bedside lamps or tables with built in QI charger.

Seems to be missing some basic essentials.

1. VLC - life is too short to be worried whether Apple has decided if your video format is acceptable. Get VLC and play any video. (And put it on your iPad too, or Nplayer or some other player that is format agnostic)

2. App launching - yes. the Dock is pretty but... meh. The keyboard-centric will look to Alfred or similar, and for a better GUI launcher etc get Dragthing.

3. Finder - well, yes... finder works... just like Windows Explorer works - but have a look at Pathfinder or my choice is TotalFinder.

4. Audio - get XLD... rip your CD's to FLAC or Apple Lossless, convert to mp3 etc etc. Free and fast.
