Tangential: the scroll performance on hardware-accelerated Chrome for the landing page is absolutely atrocious on a Xeon v6 running past full frequency (3.6GHz, so not in energy-saving mode). I would have expected better of Apple. \ shrug\
What graphics card do you have? Are you sure the correct drivers are installed...?
I use Pixel 4, and I absolutely hate not having a fingerprint sensor. Cons: * At night it doesn't work, because I am laying on the bed and half my face is covered. * It doesn't work when I am not wearing my glasses. Annoying when I have just woken up or going to bed and want to check a quick notification. * Sometimes it unlocks by itself even if I don't want it to. For the headphone jack, I got a cheap USB-C ones and…
> It doesn't work when I am not wearing my glasses FaceID works with and without my glasses. I can't remember if it learned this automatically, or if I added it as an "alternative appearance." Does the Pixel 4 have any options like that?
"Popular design"? On the contrary. As an iPhone SE owner, this is exactly the form factor that fans of the iPhone 4/5 series (like me) rejected as being too large.
>fans of the iPhone 4/5 series (like me) Maybe this group that you described is a small minority now?

Never had an issue with glasses though.
If the new one would have kept the design of the old one but added a full screen and updated cameras - that would have been perfect. I get the feeling that I'm part of a large niche with whom the old iPhoneSE saw success by accident.
The new iPhone 12 Pro is supposed to have a smaller screen than the 11 Pro and have squared sides, which basically means it will be shaped like the original SE, have a full screen, and the best cameras. Except for the price, the exact phone you want will probably be out later this year.
But bigger, right?

Vat is applied in the price in the UK, and sales tax is at checkout in the US.
Interesting, I'd find that super annoying as a consumer that's used to seeing the full price (ex. delivery) upfront. Is this standard practice for online US stores?

You might as well give up on the headphone jack bud. It ain't coming back.
My opinion continues to be as follows: As of January 2020, there is nothing any phone manufacturer has added that I would be willing to exchange my headphone jack for. Until that changes, I will either stick with my iPhone 6S, or upgrade to the best Android phone with a headphone jack available at my time of purchase. I'd like to have a phone with a better screen and a nicer camera, and I'd even be willing to pay a l…

I can accept a headphone jack is a premium thing, I can live without it, but it's another straw, along with the downgrade in size and cosmetics.
Headphone jacks are not necessarily considered a premium feature by all phone users.
They are by some, as is evident, but that view cannot be taken for granted — even here at HN.

You have to add $75 a year to the operating cost of these phones, for AirPods, which appear to have a design life of about 18 months, max. I am very frustrated as the SE is really getting to end of life. I have bought 3 of them in the past month from various eBay sellers with good feedback. One fake, one had a badly degraded battery, and the other went into a reset loop after a couple weeks. There's not much out ther…
Can't you use... any other Bluetooth headphones with it? I feel like saying you have to use AirPods is a bit disingenuous.
