The advertisement really irritates me, though.
Assuming that I'm correct, that is.
Is there really a screen protector on the back of the phone?!

No, because the screen is on the front!Quote:

Apple takes great care about packaging and is also famous for the boxes that are designed to slide apart slowly.
Apple kit does not come with a screen protector.
Not sure why it's irritating.
I've had a couple of iPhones. I've never taken a screen protector off from the back of the phone.Quote:

All along, I have mis-reading "protector" as 'projector'.
Acorn :-O
LOL, that would be cool!Quote:

What would be irritating would be if there was no surface protection and the surface got scratched before the phone was out of the box.
But please, do not be distracted by the shiny coin. Aside from the fact I plan to buy one of these to replace Mary's old SE, in Red, I thought the creative way the phone was introduced was breakthrough use of the existing browser technology. Perhaps because it was so well done it went unnoticed?
Apple has historically had the best and most innovative product and package design and their advertising has always been the best in the industry.
Absolutely.Quote:

The SE 2020 looks great and like you we'll change from an SE to an SE 2020.

Now I really dislike that site (web-page). It appears to me to be built for a mobile, using swipe to view, but on a desktop or laptop it just requires excessive scrolling. It scrolls to fast and you miss some content or to slowly and it get's frustrating. Using my mouse wheel to scroll is painfully repetative. Out of 10 I'd give it 1!
Your comment is interesting.Quote:

What is interesting is that I haven't used a mouse in earnest for ages - I'm so used to using a laptop and the only people I know thatdon't use laptops are gamers or in offices (though increasingly laptops rule there too).
So scrolling is a two-finger swipe to me and very natural.
I guess that mouse-users are the odd ones out today and not the major target of this page.
I haven't used a mouse to give it a go - I'd have unplug it from my iMac.
Good observation though.
I thought Gary had a desktop?
Gary does have a desktop and viewed the website in Firefox without any issues.
Doesn't appear that the animation works with Chrome-based browsers. At least here.
As Chrome is so widespread as the framework for browsers, Apple really ought to have made it work with all current browsers, all devices. Isn't that just good web development practice?
I don't use Chrome. But you cannot tell Apple what to do. They have a mind of their own.
I have viewed it on Firefox, Chrome and Safari and it's not very different across all of them.
Interesting observation Paul. I have a desktop, a laptop & an iPad. The first thing I did when I purchased to laptop was to also purchase a mouse, just couldn't get on with a touchpad. Intrestingly there was an article in this fortnights ComputerActive magazine were the writer was forced to work from home and therefore on his laptop, using his "terrible touchpad" He finally purchased a wireless mouse ..... Was really pleased with it but admitted that he often forgot it was there and just by force of habit continued using the touchpad!Quote:

I find mice clumsy compared to a touchpad, but whatever suits.
I remember the days of trackballs..
Can't stand touchpads ... I find them almost impossible to use.
