i really hope apple will "not refresh the SE" in the same way they werent ever going to make a phone of that size again, and the same way they werent going to upgrade its storage to 32/128 from 16/64

india has huge tariffs for companies that don't have factories in the country, producing the SE there might just be a statement that "we're targeting this region with the SE and want it to be affordable here"

my 7 is scratch free even after I dropped it into gravel twice. wtf did you idiots do to your fonez?

seriously. i've dropped mine down stairs, onto asphalt, etc, and the worst that happened was it got a little dinged on the corner. it landed face-down on asphalt and was fine.

take the sand and bolts out of your pockets.

I have the same thing with my 7, it’s scratched to gently caress

I keep it in a pocket with cards (not even credit cards with embossing, all flat) and EarPods. still hosed

got the screen replaced after a drop (it’s free if it stops working but u don’t get cracks, thanks timb) and had the same issue after like 2 weeks. hosed up

so it's in the same pocket as cards with metal chips in them. "how did the screen get scratched by metal protrusions in my pockets? CRAPPLE IS loving US AGAIN! :argh:"

so they're basically iphone 5c'ing the iphone 5se according to that article

i'm finding it hard to believe that apple would keep the same phone and just lower the price for it, given their obscene pricing philosophy

i've seen plenty that protrude slightly. and even for the ones that don't, you still have a metal surface rubbing against your phone.

ive got an amex, mastercard and visa in front of me and none of them are raised

the mastercard chip is in fact slightly recessed

sorry your fingers dont work

if the chips were raised even slightly then jamming them into card slots would potentially separate the chip from the plastic card if the edge caught on something, its almost as if those that design the cards take that into account and manufacturing processes have enough quality controls to make sure that never happens

The screens are definitely softer now and I made up bullshit wrong with my phone to get it swapped for a new one because it had so many microscratches. All my old iPhone screens are perfect and were subjected to all kinds of abuse for years.

yeah it's better that your screen shatters because of a slight drop rather than get scratches you can't even see when the screen is on. definitely.

You can easily see it because it makes text fuzzy which is more distracting than a crack and your phone will break anyway if it hits right.
