I genuinely think they have the wrong ceo.
Imagine if it had been Ive. For one thing, I bet we wouldn’t have camera bulges.
Doesn’t he push thinner for any and all costs though?
Apple resumes selling iPhone SE at lower $249 price on its clearance store

#312Note that it’s a clearance sale within ‘certified refurbished’, so these are not entirely new devices.
These look to be new. Refurbished listings clearly indicate that, for example, the listing "Refurbished iPhone 7 128GB - Black (Unlocked)" [1], and it goes on to describe details about what a refurbished phone from Apple entails — all things that are missing from the iPhone SE page. My guess is Apple doesn't normally sell new "clearance" products, so they decided to just add it to the existing discount/refurbished store.

You realise there is significant variation in the size of people’s hands? I consider a 4 inch phone so small as to be nearly unusable. Apple’s approach of having differently size phones for different people is the right one.

Looks like he is, actually.

So after much griping about the notch, glass back, lack of headphone jack, lack of home button, and lack of Touch ID, the wife and I just bought iPhone XRs. And you know what? They’re great. Air Pods are transformational—you don’t realize how annoying the cords are until they’re gone. And quality and range are phenomenal. It’s a UX win for consumers as well as a revenue win for Apple. The swipe gestures aren’t discov…

No, he did not say that. That's an Elon Musk quote.

#316I am holding on to my SE and has been buying phones in the private market to keep a new SE available. I like the form factor size, but would be very keen to get an update processor .

#317Hmmm. From the comments, looks like it's time for modular phones. That way, everyone could assemble what they need, and change when they need.
Whole new ecosystem follows.

I don't think a full blown, hand-holding tutorial at sales outlets was the outcome Steve Jobs was aiming for, when he decided to kill shipping manuals with iDevices.
On the quote, a CNBC article seemed to attribute it to Jobs, but I suppose Musk said it - I stand corrected

Physical manuals. All iOS devices come preloaded with a large manual in the Books app.
