Here's hoping that they'll include something like this in the Google Nexus lineup. They keep growing the phones, but my pocket is the same size.
That's why I've been desperately holding on to my Nexus 4! It is the perfect size.

#222Why 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 With SE, it will just appear like you have an out of date iPhone 5.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?

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…

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.
Not sure if this is what you meant, but the SE probably isn't meant to be the flagship phone for Apple this year.

They're talking about removing it from the flagships in the FUTURE. Specifically the 7 and 7 Plus later this year.

#225I was hoping (against hope) for an @3 display. Sniff.
The E70 was my last not-smart-phone, replaced it with the original G1 (first android phone). It was great for taking notes, and imho was a better form factor than blackberry.

I, too, am hanging on to an older phone (Moto X 1st gen) because there's nothing left that runs naked Android that's small enough. I feel like the pendulum has swung too far into tablones (never 'phablets'!).
I'm hopeful that either (a) Google comes around to making a normal sized Nexus, or (b) other high-end manufacturers start to ship pure (or close to pure) Android OS on some of their devices. We don't need no stinkin' TouchWiz/Sense/Optimus/&c crud.

#227I don't like the touch id and touch pay that they're pushing. Fingerprint scanners everyone is probably not a good thing. I'm sure they're all going to end up in a database somewhere.
As for Apple Pay, your card details are used once -- exactly once -- to generate an obfuscated alias card identifier, again, only useable by the device.
There is no database. Fingerprint data doesn't leave the phone. No one stores your credit card details.

#228I couldn't identify all the car company logos. Specifically, in 1-based (row, column) format: (1,3), (3,2), (3,6), (4,4), (4,6), (4,7), (5,9) Can people please chime in with the correct identifications? (There seems to be a logo behind the speaker, which I am not counting)

#229Did they exclude battery life from the presentation?

A full 24 hours worth of music (~33 complete albums) at 192 kbps is only 2GB.
And that's about all the space you'll have with ios and default apps!
