    PCGuy_5960 got a reaction from ebprince the computer nerd in iPhone SE 3rd Gen Rumors, Leaks, and some hints at a new one   
    A new iPhone SE would be in a weird place IMO. If they keep the current iPhone 8 design, the battery life is going to be atrocious, especially when you are using 5G making it a pretty bad purchase. If they adopt the iPhone 11/iPhone XR design to fit a bigger battery it is going to cannibalize iPhone 13 sales since (excluding the pros) there aren't enough added features to make the price difference worth it. I'd like to see this iPhone SE have an iPhone 8 Plus body so that they can fit a proper size battery in it, if they did that the SE would be one of the best value for money phones on the market.

    Maybe complicated wasn't the right word. How about cumbersome? Basically half the information/reviews you find about the phone you want to buy is for a version that is not available in your region. If the difference between the 2 is small like it is with the S21 then it's no big deal, but this has typically not been the case with one version being clearly better than the other.

    This is probably the more impactful issue, battery DoD and discharge/charge cycles. DoD is the harder one to define but a higher average power draw should on average translate to higher DoD on average, but DoD is highly user habits influenced. Discharge and Charge cycles is a little easier though, if the power usage is ~8% then that's basically the increase in the number of cycles meaning the battery will become degraded 8% faster and battery degradation isn't linear so the fall off point where the battery is effectively useless could happen 6+ months sooner.
     
    All user experience could be essentially identical up until that point but the difference between a usable device for 3.5 years vs 4 years is in the realm of meaningful.

    Not quite. There are some differences because of different bands, but in the case of mmWave in the iPhone it's just Apple cheaping out and giving more features to their US customers. They could implement mmWave worldwide, but they choose not to. Countries with other mmWave 5G bands like South Korea, Japan and China, do not even get a mmWave model tuned for their networks. They just don't get any mmWave at all. Even though the modem itself supports tuning it for it. Apple just don't feel like including and tuning the extra antennas. 
    Australia, Norway and Italy even have n258 5G deployed which is the same band as some operators in the US uses, and yet those countries do not get any mmWave support at all in their iPhones. So in the case of those countries you could import a US phone and get 5G mmWave connectivity in your country, but if you buy an iPhone from a store in said country you do not get mmWave. (I also don't recommend importing a US phone to for example Norway or Italy because you will probably run into issues on the 4G network, but the mmWave 5G would work fine).

    And here I was thinking that Apple, unlike Google, had at least some respect for their users privacy. Turns out I was wrong. Obviously child abuse is horrible and anyone guilty of it deserves to go to jail, but shouldn't that be the job of the police/authorities? A multi-trillion dollar corporation scanning your locally stored pictures for child abuse with an AI of unknown accuracy even if there is no evidence to support that you might have such images on your phone seems more like an excuse for collecting even more data they can sell to advertisers/governments.
