It's too bad the 13/14 mini is going away. That being said I think the SE should be plenty for me. Edit : To phrase this a bit better, it's too bad the "mini" model doesn't seem likely to continue into past the 13 mini.

The iPhone 14 mini doesn’t exist so I’m not sure how it can be “going away”. As for the 13 mini, where’s your source that says it’s being discontinued as opposed to the ‘mini’ line just simply not continuing after the 13’s lifespan?

There have been many rumors that there will be no iPhone 14 mini. [1]

As someone who feels that the mini lineup was already getting too large, I'm not a fan of the decision.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have the 2nd gen and it's been pretty great. I think they should last for at least 5 years.

It's pretty great, except for battery life, which is really annoying. It's the only reason I wouldn't buy another SE when mine breaks.

My SE suffers, too. I find myself having to charge it twice a day — overnight, and then a top up at work.

The new iPhone SE looks like a really solid phone. The only thing it doesn't really have compared to the 13 is the better camera and the larger form factor / fancier screen tech. And weirdly there doesn't seem to be much in the Android world at that price point anymore.

It's a shame it's still using the 2014 design. I don't really care about the camera or the screen tech, but the form factor looks actively retro compared to every other smartphone out there (and every other Apple product (okay except the cheapest plain iPad)).

That's the point. The iPhone 6 was revolutionary at the time, and not everyone wants to use Face ID.

God damn that M1 ULTRA is a beast on paper for the power consumption. It’s what we expected but still I can’t wait to see real world numbers.

Edit: and god damn again at it being in something as small as the new Mac Studio. Interested in price...

Edit 2: $1999 for the base Mac Studio with M1 MAX. $3999 for the base M1 ULTRA model.
