Did they exclude battery life from the presentation?
Seems so. They probably didn't want to point out that it lasts longer than both the 6S and 6S plus, lest their ASP drop.

Re: iPhone SE
#192I 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.
They've never built a 6-style model with a 4" screen. Seems more like a case of just taking the old chassis and upgrading a few components. Not that I'm complaining, but in a perfect world, it should match the design language of the current generation.

#193What does SE mean?
"System Expansion" http://macgui.com/usenet/?group=14&id=1509

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…
I was really excited about your app but it's not available in the UK app store yet...
Coming to the UK soon! We're constrained by geography in part due to where we run our weather models, but the UK is coming soon I think!
Re: iPhone SE
#195$399 for the 16GB version? Seems pretty affordable to me. So instead of buying a used iPhone you can get a new one for the same amount of $$.

I have an iPhone 5s 16 GB with a bunch of apps and games installed, plus some albums at 256/320 kbit/s and it currently has 6.5GB free.
Add some photos and audio books, and it's basically full. 16 GB is too little for most use cases.
I disagree, i think you have way too many apps, videos, music, podcasts, documents, get yourself sorted

I would be surprised and I'm curious too. I always assumed a barometer was how the iPhone measures flights of stairs climbed without expensive GPS calculations.
I think you can pretty easily distinguish stairs climbed using just the accelerometer, but I could be way off. I'd be impressed if a barometer had enough resolution to indicate smaller (~10ft) altitude changes.
That's how the Fitbit Charge HR works.

Or "Standard Edition" ala Java SE...really not doing themselves any favors with the ambiguous, expanded naming conventions here.
Or "Second Edition" ala Windows 98 SE.
Or "system expansion" as in the Mac SE which followed the Mac Plus with an internal hard drive and developer accessible bus. (It was followed by the SE/30 which was a great machine. Things went downhill in naming from there.)

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 and Austria, unlike Canada are very much dense so the infrastructure required to setup an LTE/UMTS/etc network is less costly. To travel from Vancouver to the next principal Canadian city (Calgary), it requires 900 KM of driving and there's only really one metropolitan area of sorts between the two, meaning that you're going to be setting up cell towers that handle only so much traffic in a day. As a result, t…
Which carrier/plan?
Re: iPhone SE
#200This seems very interesting / surprising, comparing[1] SE and 6S shows SE doesn't have second generation Touch ID.
I understand the 3D Touch with the space avaliable & all but why not the second generation Touch ID?
