quote:

Despite being the first iPhone to step away from Apple�s number naming scheme, and despite being the first 4-inch iPhone in two years, it isn�t a product of innovation, but rather one of stagnation.

The iPhone 5, from which the SE borrows its entire external chassis, was the last product Steve Jobs was hands-on with, and yes, that�s a big deal. Without Steve Jobs, Apple has always been a rudderless company, adrift on the sea of technological trends. Back in the 90s it was even a punchline. The PowerBook 5300 had a tendency to burst into flames (mine never did) and earned a position of ridicule on Saturday Night Live. And the Newton series was so bad (though my brother adored his eMate 300) that Jobs axed it less than a year after he returned to the company.

From 1997 to 2010, the Apple brand lived and died on Steve Jobs� every decision. Sure it was a company full of brilliant engineers, programmers and marketers, but it was Jobs� magic touch that spurned the multitude of innovations that turned Apple into the second largest company in the world. He was the one that added color to the original iMac, insisted on the iPod�s navigation wheel and refused to let the iPhone get too big.

And as soon as he was gone, Tim Cook took all the ideas Jobs rejected and made them reality. So we got the fart in the wind that is the Apple Watch, and we got the behemoth iPhone 6 and iPhone Plus. These products weren�t the result of innovation as much as they were the response to the clamoring of analysts, journalists and some portions of the public. That�s what the SE is too. It�s not innovation. It�s fulfilling a need and expanding a portfolio and other boring business words that Apple used to leave to more practical companies like Lenovo and Dell.

it's a thing of beauty

i hate how people talk about "innovation" like its something a lone genius does in a vacuum

the iphone was innovative because microsoft, blackberry and nokia were just iterating their palm pilot clones for 5+ years with their thumbs up their asses and it was ripe for disruption

my hands are pretty big. the iphone 6 barely fits in most of my pockets so a laffo huge android phone/6+ is completely out of the question

still, i can comfortably use the 6, i just prefer the size of the 5

basically phones started to get too big with the 5 and steve used actual testing and evidence to support this fact which is why the 4s remains the superior form factor

there's a lot of people that fancy themselves special with big salad fingers but they're just buying into big screen marketing because of a lack of critical analysis

i felt the same way when the 5 came out but it's barely bigger and 16:9 is a more appropriate aspect ratio anyway

the 6 is definitely too big and the only people i know with a 6+ are tiny asian women

hello this is my anecdote

i had to get a 6s for testing, and now it's my phone, and it's big and slippery. i have big goon hands and still can't comfortably thumb a button in a title bar without balancing the phone so it's smooth edges don't send it cascading down my palm onto the floor

big screen phones are for those who can't afford ipads pro
