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.
Agreed, hate the battery life in my SE 2020. Currently thinking about getting the 13 mini but I love TouchID too much so it's really a debate between TouchID or better battery life, ugh...

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.
Absolutely. I'd say FaceID might be even a downside
I'm happy with TouchID (ok not on Apple). I don't want to stare at the phone to unlock it.
The Apple brand is invaluable. You literally can't attach a value to it.

yes, you can. i don't know if people here are too young to remember before Steve Jobs return, Apple was in the gutter. Steve had to make a deal with Microsoft to inject money into Apple. no one stand at the top forever. if it happened before it will happen again.
The pace at which apple is pumping out new silicon is astounding. It’s hard to imagine anyone competing with them pound for pound, especially in the flops per watt game. I still can’t get over the fanless MacBook pros and the battery life. I actually hope somebody is challenged enough by this to really push for competition as this level of performance asymmetry will ultimately result in further pricing asymmetry as c…
It is even more astounding when you look at the utter shitshow that Google's Tensor has been!
New M1 Ultra chip for desktops. Essentially 2 M1 Max with a new high-speed interconnect.
They're really going out of the way to avoid an M1X nomenclature. And I suppose this design isn't yet incrementation worthy, for an M2.
I expect them to release an M2 chip earliest in the fall of this year or early 2023.
