Ask Slashdot: Are You Excited About Upcoming 4-inch iPhone or 9.7-inch iPad Pro?

If rumors are to be believed, at its 'Let Us Loop You In' event on Monday, Apple will launch a new smartphone dubbed "iPhone SE," and a new tablet dubbed "iPad Pro." According to 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman, who has a reliable track record with Apple news, the iPhone SE will sport a 4-inch display and have the same processor, RAM and other innards as the iPhone 6s, which was launched last year. The new 9.7-inch iPad will reportedly have the same hardware specifications as the 12-inch iPad Pro, which was also unveiled last year. The Associated Press reports that the forthcoming event hasn't stirred "much passion." It adds, "So far, however, there have been no hints of any dramatic announcements, such as last year's highly anticipated Apple Watch debut, or major initiatives like the company's long-rumoured but yet-to-materialize streaming TV service." Are you looking forward to purchasing either of the devices?

That's funny, because I thought a smug sense of superiority came with every Apple purchase.

thanks but I'll wait for the SE/30

Nope. Shitty interface

I still can't believe people use these things. I suppose that Candy Crush and Tinder are more important than a modern interface to most people. Very surprising to me. I'm going to stick with my Windows Phone, thanks!

I will repair their crap on the week end, I'll be damned if I ever own their overprice sh*t.
What's wrong in the world can be summed up with the rise/fall/rise/fall and last rise of Jobs the Con man par excellence.
Wozniak should've brained him with a shovel early in his father's garage.
