Does anyone else think the 5G iPhone SE would make more sense in the body of the 8+?

I think it would, due to its bigger battery. Also, that would bring back the full home button iPhone line back. What do you think? I'm not saying I think this will happen, I'm just saying I feel it would make more sense.

Old / Unsupported iOS Games and Apps

Posted: 05 Mar 2022 12:47 AM PST

What are some old apps from the first few iPhones that you miss playing that the developers stopped updating as the new iOS's came out?

I was going through my old purchases from forever ago and forgot about some of the old apps I used and games I used to play. I miss playing Oregon Trail (not the one that's on Apple Arcade now) and Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam.. I used to play them all the time. Wish there was an easy way to play them on modern iOS!

Can someone ELI5 how it makes sense that “battery life” was the reason they got rid of 3D Touch?

I constantly hear people say this is why they got rid of 3D Touch. It doesn't make a lick of sense.

Why do you have an iPhone? What is good about it?

I have an iPhone myself and I have always questioned why do I like it. There is nothing good that iPhones have than the other phones don't have and Apple are even staying behind. But, I, just like it, love it even, I don't understand it…
