I wonder if reverting to the iPhone 5 design indicates that the design of the 6 is viewed as a flop by Apple. I've dropped my 6+ so many times that I love the design (it's indestructible) but perhaps Apple's market research is showing that some people love the look of their 5 and are avoiding upgrading for that reason.

France is pretty unique and shows that in most countries telco's act as a cartel to keep prices inflated artificially.
It's hardly unique. Here in Finland, the prices are comparable, though data caps are rare. 20€/mo gets you LTE with some bundled calls and SMS. Rest of the Nordics should be fairly similar. Currently I pay 18€/mo for my 50Mbps uncapped LTE, I use it as my home connection.
Why the exact same shape as the iPhone 5S? I feel like a significant reason people buy new iPhones is the idea that people will notice you have the newest model. With SE, it will just appear like you have an out of date iPhone 5. Why not round the edges like the iPhone 6?
> I feel like a significant reason people buy new iPhones is the idea that people will notice you have the newest model Ha. No. The significant reason people buy new iPhones is because their cellular contract is up for renewal and they will get one for for free/cheap.
Dimensions 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm (4.87 x 2.31 x 0.30 in)
Weight 112 g (3.95 oz)
I'm about to buy a new Android phone (or an iPhone SE if I could flash Android on it :-) ) and the problem is that there are only mid (few) and low range (many) phones with that size and weight. Hopefully the SE will sell well and in a year Samsung and the like will start selling again something with the size of a Galaxy S2 which was their flagship in 2011 - a few months before the iPhone 4s. Apple is proving that you can do it with modern chips and modern amounts of RAM and storage. What's closest to that in the Android world now are Samsung's A3 and Alpha and the Sony Z5 Compact, but they're not really there on all specs.
If you haven't guessed it yet, I really don't care about the size of the screen, I care more about the dimensions and weight: I've got a tablet and a PC at home when I need a large screen, I want something small and light for when I'm outside.
I'm still looking forward to something like this http://www.yankodesign.com/2012/01/20/not-a-pamphlet-its-a-s... or the more realistic http://phandroid.com/2016/01/08/samsung-might-launch-its-fol...

This is the iPhone 4 design, not?

What does SE mean?

I'm happy to hear that the dimensions are the same, since I have some existing accessories that would probably not work if the size were a bit different.

It's because Apple has realised 3D touch is bad and it's also a very expensive feature to add to a phone. The real question is if they will admit it was a misstep by removing it from their flagship model or just keep pretending and keep it in. Companies really hate admitting they were wrong so my bet is that they are stuck with it for the forseeable future.
Although 3D touch is not widely supported (even by Apple's apps) the "trackpad" on the keyboard alone is worth it.

Out of curiosity what use did people find in a barometer?
Apple themselves use it to count the number of flights of stairs you climb. Google uses it in Android phones for faster GPS and for indoor location mapping. I'm using it to forecast the weather by crowdsourcing billions of live atmospheric pressure measurements at Sunshine ( https://thesunshine.co ). Other use cases are for migraine headache prediction/prevention and other health-related issues. The primary and most…
