‘Frolicking around in excess’
Matt Birchler, writing about what matters in a phone:
So when I see the $399 iPhone SE with 5 years of likely updates, with a really good single lens camera, and with it’s processor that’s faster than all 2020 $1,000+ Android phones, and will likely still be faster than all 2021 Android phones…well, it just looks like a good phone, and it makes it look like we’ve been frolicking around in excess for years now.
I’m one of those people with an iPhone 11 Pro. I enjoy Face ID. I like the ways I can interact with my phone without a home button. I like the triple camera system. I don’t regret owning it. But I also know it’s not for everyone.
For everyone else, people that are just looking for the best deal on a smartphone in general, Matt hits it right on the head: The new iPhone SE is likely the best purchase you can make right now. Maybe even the best purchase next year.
