The iPhone SE is an incredible value for the price, especially compared to similarly priced Android phones like the Moto G Stylus 5G, Samsung Galaxy A42 5G and Google Pixel 5A with 5G. Any new phone under $500 is going to make compromises, and the SE demonstrates how savvy Apple was at omitting some things in order to keep others.
More than 80 per cent of properties have been destroyed in less than three weeks -and Kristina, 30, who worked in public relations for the local council, has been an unwilling witness to so much horror.
No other phone-maker takes this approach for a low-cost device. It would be like Samsung using the body of its Galaxy S8, putting the Galaxy S22's processing power inside and charging people $400. The real question, however, is does this approach work? Hell yes, it does. I played graphic-heavy Apple Arcade games on the SE, filmed 4K videos and was able to use iOS 15 tools like Live Text capture with translation.
At $429 (£419, AU$719), the iPhone SE (2022) is filled with an old-meets-new appeal. It's a low-cost way for people to upgrade from an iPhone 8 (or older) who want to keep a familiar design. The new SE blends the body of an iPhone 8 with the tougher glass and processor from the iPhone 13, but it's for those who don't care about Face ID or MagSafe. Apple's mix-and-match approach gives this iPhone newer features like 5G support, a longer battery life and iPhone 13-levels of performance, all while retaining the home button and the classic, user-friendly design. The iPhone SE is an extremely capable phone with a great camera and all the goodies like iMessage, FaceTime, Apple Music and access to the App Store.
'Until we deal with the systemic issues of gun violence in this country - how easily young people with mental illness can access guns in this country, I'm afraid that this will not be the last summer that we are having this conversation,' Bottoms told .
Mila and Ashton launched the appeal shortly after Russia's invasion, where millions of people have since been displaced from their homes due to Vladimir Putin's attempt to take control of the country through military efforts.
Big news: Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher revealed they hit their $30million fundraising goal to benefit Ukrainian refugees just two weeks into launching the program as they shared an update to Instagram on Thursday.
'Vaccines have saved so many lives,' he said.
'And prevented an immense amount of suffering and pain. New York City's nation-leading vaccination policies, while sometimes controversial, were demonstrably effective.'
Like so many others, the family had discounted the threat of Russian invasion. Then, as fighting began on the city's outskirts, they listened to civic leaders telling them to stay calm and joined communal efforts to distribute food and clothing to the frontline.
Keisha Lance Bottoms says a stray bullet nearly hit her nephew after it penetrated his bedroom wall and landed beside his bed in Atlanta - just years after another nephew was tragically shot and killed.
The new SE remains one of the smallest phones (Apple or Android) that you can buy. The glossy glass back and curved sides make the phone feel slippery. The body is rated IP67 for water and dust resistance, which means it can survive being submerged under a meter of water for 30 minutes. When filming the review video, I ran it under the faucet a couple of times to remove dust, and the SE still worked without a hitch.
The way Apple approached the SE reminds me of the car company Zelectric Motors, which takes vintage Volkswagen Beetles and replaces the old gas-powered engine with an electric motor. The VW bug becomes an entirely different car but at the same time retains the vintage appeal that people love. That's exactly what's going on with the SE. At $429, it has the design and body people are fond of, but in terms of apps and iOS features, it's on par with iPhones that are nearly twice the price.
Scott Morrison told Weekend Today the idea his cabinet has been too slow to respond to emergencies was nothing more than a 'Labor narrative' - despite criticisms being levelled by members within the Coalition.
They put tape over their windows for protection from flying glass, stocked up the freezer and started sleeping on mattresses alongside other families at High School Number Two, across the yard from their flat.
The former mayor also said the pandemic 'left a lot of people battered and bruised, not just physically, but also emotionally,' which led to an increase in personal disputes that could easily be exacerbated by guns.
Bottoms, who served as mayor of Atlanta from 2018 to 2022, previously blamed the 50 percent increase in homicides in 2021 on lax gun laws, teenagers having too much free time on their hands and the state lifting its COVID-19.
'And normally in natural disasters there's a lot of bipartisanship, people work together, but unfortunately over the last three-and-a-half years they've tried to use it to have a crack at me on every occasion.'
