Hi Kevin,
It is new and something to learn/get used to. I
am not sure what you mean by "it's not
discoverable", but I find it easy to check if
3D Touch options are available and have gotten
quite comfortable using it in certain
situations. For example, using it with the App
Store app if I want to search for an app.
Instead of double tapping on the app, then
double tapping on the search tab at the bottom
and then finding the search edit field at the
top left and double tapping on it to put focus
in it and bring up the keyboard, I just press
down on the App Store icon on the home screen,
do a quick swipe right (that puts me on the
"Search" option in the menu, then I do a quick
double tap and bingo, focus is already in the
search box with the keyboard on the screen
waiting for me to type my search term.
Another example is the Phone app. If I want to
call my wife, my office or my manager on his
mobile, I just press down on the phone app,
swipe a couple of times and double tap on one
of the 3 names that are part of the context
menu (they are the first 3 in your Favorites
list). Another app with useful functions in the context menu is the Camera app.
These are just a few examples, I'm sure in time
Apple will figure out more ways to make this
useful and as far as it being natural or not
probably depends on you. Eventually everything
becomes muscle memory and we have to keep in
mind that 3D Touch for sighted people has many
more applications which we as blind users may not be able to use.
Regards,
Sieghard

3D touch isn't that useful. It's not
discoverable and there is no hint of where it can be used or where it works.
it's not really natural, and most of the time:
i end up just interacting with it as if 3D
touch were not even present...It ends up being faster.

The 5S's are around £150 or less on the trade
lists. 4S are well below £100 as a starter
phone. Folks still sell old Nokias with
Talks on even now. I still have some.
The SE is about the one I'd buy new, or the 6+
2nd hand. mrsH got one of those for under
£300 from somewhere, new, all be it oldish
stock. Buti ntact with warrantee.

Exactly, I am sure iFixIt will have all the
hidden secrets out in no time. But there are
still a lot of iPhone 5/5C and even 4S and
4 out there and for these customers this will
be a very nice upgrade as a free phone on
contract or for what I consider not an
unreasonable price unlocked. I remember
somebody recently advertised a used 5S on the
list in the UK and I think he was asking 300
Pounds, probably not too realistic given the
price of the iPhone SE. I also still have my 5S
64 Gb which I was planning to sell,
probably should have done so before this came out.

Sieghard

Well, I assume you don't understand Dutch, so
giving you the link to the article won't
benefit you. The article was published today
on a well respected Dutch Apple news site
called: iCulture.nl <http://iculture.nl> .
Unfortunately they don't mention any sources
from which they got the detailed information.
They only refer to a person who made the list,
or something. the link to this person
is to Twitter.
Another feature the SE misses is the barometric
sensor (dont know the exact English translation), which measures differences in
height and vertical movements like on stairs.
Dont believe my word for it, time will tell right.

Hi,
There are more differences. The SE has 1st
generation touch id while the 6s has 2nd gen,
and since I use the 6s's touch id daily,
the 2nd gen isn't perfect bij a long shot.
The SE's front camera is much worse than 6s, a
1.2mp instead of a 5mp one.. The main-camera is
also 12mp, but the SE uses a somewhat
older sensor. High-speed data transfer lacks
some minor frequencies and last but not least
it is probably safe to say the SE runs at
a lower cpu clock speed than the 6s to maintain
good battery usage, since the battery is quite a bit smaller.

I haven't seen anywhere whether or not the SE has 3D touch. Anyone know?
