Apple undecided about iPhone SE 4's display size and technology
doozydozen said:An easy win for consumers and Apple would be to repurpose the iPhone 13 mini chassis for the next gen SE.No, that would be a major loss for consumers. What they should do is repurpose the iPhone 6s+ chassis for the next gen SE. A larger size, Touch ID, an actual bezel instead of that stupid notch, and a headphone jack would be a major step forward.I'd buy one.

Apple's Battersea Power Station offices in London opening soon
Why does Apple need "offices" in London?That's idiotic. Nobody needs to be working in an "office" at this point, it should be 100% remote. -
Dynamic Island expected to replace notch on all iPhone 15 models
How unfortunate.There's a much better technology that will eliminate the vacant spots in the display entirely.It's called a bezel.

Apple now paying out $95M in AppleCare lawsuit settlement
badmonk said:as a frequent purchaser of refurbished Apple products I would say they are better than new…they look new, have the requisite Apple clear panel wrapping. But they have performed better than the products that I have purchased new. I suspect that is because they undergo more stringent QC testing. The only thing you don’t get is the box.
At a time when we should be cutting down with the disposal of e-waste this is bad news.They've gotten better at refurb failure rates, but I suspect that's because they're mostly not actually refurbished at all these days, they're just customer returns of virtually new computers.It used to be that Apple refurbs would have close to a 50% DOA rate. I used to tell customers "Sure, go ahead and buy the refurb, you'll save money, and we'll make money fixing it under warranty when you get a dead computer."
