Have you gotten an iPhone SE? Or as we like to call it, the iPhonsey?
If you haven’t, and you’re thinking about it – here’s the lowdown.
It’a a 4-inch iPhone. By all accounts, it might be a bit hard to get used to if you’re leaving your iPhone 6S behind for it, but that it’s super easy to handle once you’ve passed that barrier to entry.
It feels very, very similar to the iPhone 5S.
It has a 12-megapixel rear camera (like the iPhone 6s), however the front-facing camera is still just 1.2 megapixels, although it features a new ISP and a Retina Flash.
According to all reports, the best things about the iPhonesey is the battery life, the A9 processor and the price. The battery life is said to outpace the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 6s. You’re looking at a life of about 10 hours.
The A9 processor makes the phone very fast and it also has 2x faster CPU and 3x faster GPU performance compared to the iPhone 5s.
You’re crazy Apple, making us feel ALL THE FEELS this weekend!

Watch, and feel. ALL THE FEELS. We’re telling you man, all the feels. Everyone deserves to have their voice heard.
A non-scripted Apple backed TV series, created with Will.i.am, that will, ahem, ‘spotlight the app economy’.
So vague, so weird, and yet, so intriguing?
It’s Apple, so obviously, there’s no more information. Well, a teeny bit. It was originally conceived by Ben Silverman who is an executive producer on shows like Jane the Virgin, The Biggest Loser, Marco Polo, and Flaked.
This will be alongside Apple’s other TV foray – a series called Vital Signs that will star Beats co-founder and Apple executive Dr. Dre.
Intriguing cross promotion, Apple. Intriguing and weird.

Upcoming iPhone models will reportedly have OLED screens as early as 2017, according to reports. The screens will most likely be made by Samsung and LG – with Apple apparently signing a $12 million dollars to secure the deal.
OLED means Organic Light-emitting diode. Essentially, it means thinner, lighter, more power efficient and more flexible screened iPhones coming our way.
We like all those things!
Samsung already use OLED technology, and Apple does too – on the Apple Watch.
If these reports are incorrect, we can still probably expect OLED screens on iPhones, just maybe not as soon.
