  • Why Apple's iPhone SE lacks 3D Touch technology

    I'm probably going to be picking up an iPhone 5SE on day one.

    The lack of 3D touch on this model does not bother me at all. I've tried it a few times on my friend's iPhone 6S+, and it's a cool feature, but certainly not a must have or anything that's absolutely essential, in my opinion.

    I am much, much more glad that it has 2 GB ram and the A9 chip. The iPhone 5SE is going to be future proof for quite a while. Apple is obviously going to sell tons of these. The iPhone 5SE turned out to be much better than anybody predicted specs-wise, and the price also turned out to be lower than anybody predicted.

    I agree, I've just ordered mine (64GB in Space Grey, forecast delivery 11-14 April). My main reason for upgrading from my 5s is Apple Pay but I wasn't about to buy-in to dated technology (the 5s is still a good performer so there'd be no point). The important internals of the SE are spot on as you highlighted (latest processor, boost to 2 GB of RAM, latest camera). The externals are all about the size: it will fit into my pocket just like the 5s.

    Some people will be disappointed by the looks and I understand that. My 5s went into a leather case on day1, as will the SE, so the looks really don't matter to me, only the ergonomics, and I'm in the 4" is better camp. It's the phone I wanted so thank you to Apple. Please keep an up-to-date 4" model in the range for the future too, that might even deliver the looks that some people hanker after too.

    Personally don't want to have to put the pencil down to do a bit of scrolling then pick it up again to continue marking up a doc. consider the pencil a temporary finger in those cases.
    Absolutely.

    Design the UI for fingers - definitely. But don't prohibit the pencil from using it, makes no sense. Presumably it's a bug in the beta.
