Complete with the loud BING as the startup sound?
You bet. Also a 1-bit dithered screen mode and rounded screen corners.
not sure why you were getting downvoted, i would love a monochrome rounded display.

Re: iPhone SE
#42$399 USD is great, but why are we still stuck with 16 GB of storage on base model phones? You can barely put a day's worth of music on your phone and you cannot always stream via services like Spotify. Spotify accounts for 2 GB of traffic per month on my phone and some plans are barely affordable when you want more than that--fortunately I can do up to 6 GB before I am traffic shaped, but that isn't the say the same…
Going for 16GB storage on my 5S might be what makes me upgrade...otherwise the phone still seems fast / good enough for most tasks after 2.5 years of ownership.
HOW!? Mine is fast becoming unbearably slow.
Maybe I'm using the wrong apps.
Re: iPhone SE
#43Great Price, great specs. Really loving the SE so far. I can't wait to put my hands on the device. I thought this was smaller in size but really is the same as 5S

That's how they raise their average selling price without raising the base price. For many use cases like kiosks and classrooms little storage is needed.

Check again; only down 0.2 percent for the day. (2:02pm)

It isn't competitively priced. The 32G used to be a sweet spot I could go for, but it's gone now.
Why not upgrade to a 5 or 5S now though? The 4S is quite a ways behind, and with the 5 and even the 5S being out for so long, you could get some great deals.
It all comes down to AppleCare: I don't want to own an aftermarket phone that isn't covered for damage by anything other than my own wallet. The 5/5S can only remain a viable option for me if they're sold directly by Apple & allow me to purchase AppleCare. Anything less means I take on the risk of having to keep repairing/replacing the phone every time it breaks. Unfortunately, this happens far too often.

I am always surprised by these expansive US plans. In France for instance, you can have 50 GB LTE for 20 € per month (with Free). In Austria, 10 GB LTE for 15 € is not uncommon.
France is pretty unique and shows that in most countries telco's act as a cartel to keep prices inflated artificially.

It's the same size.
Re: iPhone SE
#49As a stubborn iPhone 4 user, I was excited for this press conference because of the return to a smaller form factor. I'm not sure the SE is going to push me over the edge just yet, despite the price. Think I can hold out for a couple more months, just in case something amazing happens with the 7.
You're using a 6 year old, 3.5 inch phone. 7 is going to be bigger than 5, 5S, 5SE, I would upgrade if I were you. Can iphone 4 even get iOS 9?
