Me too, I still have my iPhone SE, I was hoping they would bring back some smaller version of the iPhone + Touch ID, I refuse to upgrade just because of the lack of Touch ID
Out of curiosity, what makes you attached to Touch ID? Face ID is one of my favorite things about my SE to mini upgrade.
I don't have anything against Face Id, BUT I just don't see why they eliminate the sensor and remove the option.

I don't want to look at my iPhone every time I need to unlock it, for example, when I am riding my motorbike, the helmet would block my face. This isn't a problem when I use Touch ID because I can use fingerless gloves. Another case is when I need to discreetly check my phone for a moment, like when I am in a meeting or a dinner.

The pants cost around 500 bucks? I don't necessarily believe that a priori spending $500 on a pair of pants is irrational, but I really struggle to imagine any pair of pants being worth that much money unless they are lined with gold or something. I usually buy cheap clothes and mend them and ten years for a pair of pants isn't unusual for me. I probably haven't spent $500 dollars on clothes in a year ever in my enti…
> but I really struggle to imagine any pair of pants being worth that much money unless they are lined with gold or something. It depends on how much you earn. I don’t mind spending tens of thousands on Loro Piana cashmere because it’s really nice, but at my income level the price difference between that and Zara is pretty much immaterial. Keep in mind that HN is packed with people with salaries above $1M/yr and entr…
I've noticed this most in a forum for a country I used to live in where foreigners would come in and post "What's an affordable hotel/restaurant/bar/travel experience".
Uh, I have no idea what "affordable" means to you!?
Had to double check the date here. This really is indistinguishable from an April 1 post.
I got excited for a moment, thought it was a new line of iPhone Mini -- you know, the actual handheld iPhones. I still use my 13 Mini. This was the biggest letdown of clicking a link since my last Rickroll in the early 2000's

Apple is a tech company. Their last two tech products (Vision Pro and iPhone Air) were colossal and unexpected failures. The industry is holding it's breath. We already know Apple can manufacture lifestyle products and market fashion to fashionable people - that's not the issue. We're starting to turn the corner on Apple's true desire to stop competing. They can't innovate like they used to with the iPad and the Appl…
Someone wasn't around for iPod socks!
If there's any punch-line here, you're going to have to help me see it. Even for Apple, it's pathetic.

It's a joke even before looking at the price. "3D-knitted" WTF is that? Isn't all knitting in "3D"? It's a crappy handbag, and it's just for a phone. It looks like they had to use models to advertise it because they couldn't use "everyday people" in "everyday situations" to advertise because it looks like it would be garbage in that scenario. Is Apple expanding to the "luxury" fashion market?
> Is Apple expanding to the "luxury" fashion market? They've been flirting with it for a while, remember they made a $17,000 solid gold variant of the first gen Apple Watch (which is no longer supported lol), and today they sell luxury Hermès edition watches at a 2-3x premium over the regular titanium models.
Is it worth 10-20X the price of a normal strap? No, but it’s called disposable income for a reason.
