Oh that puts a different angle on it then. Still seems a bit overly dictatorial to me but anyway.

The problem is Apple ( and any other company) can then make it a complete pain in the arse if you haven't sought approval. Cease and desist letters, threats of lawsuits. Small indies could probably get away with it, but all the major studio's have agreements with them (and Coke, Ford etc etc) about how their products will be used.
There's a bit more detail in the Guardian piece - Apple does not 'let bad guys use iPhones on screen'

It means they allow use and probably don't charge. Lots of companies do it. The US military does it...you can use our stuff but we're the good guys.
So it must go for laptops and pcs too...gonna start watching for that in everything now. Whoever doesn't have a 'named' product...that's the baddie.

I’m not sure about this. If I feature a product in a movie, that company doesn’t get to dictate the terms of its use unless they have specifically supplied it for inclusion based on some agreed policy. Either that or they’d have to prove convincingly that such use accounted to defamation. You reckon every movie featuring the US military shows all those men and women in uniform as the good guys?

Everything you need to know about the new iPhone SE
A new iPhone has just been revealed. If it seems familiar, it’s because the name first appeared on an iPhone four years ago, and the design is highly reminiscent of the iPhone 8. Here’s the skinny on the new phone

I think I’ll wait for the 12.

Still got Touch ID, the latest processor, much better camera, cheap (relatively). Perfect.

I like they say 'a phone that will last for years' I've been harping on about Android's poor device longevity, for, well, years. Repeatedly being told that one of the main reasons I got rid of Android was being fixed over the years. Still hasn't happened. If my iPhone X was a flagship Google pixel 2 device released at the same time, come October it will get it's final patch. The damn thing cost £629 at launch!

Exactly and it’s the main reason I ditched android. It seems reasonable to expect that the iPhone 12 I will buy later this year will last for five years. Paying a grand for a phone that ends up costing 15 quid a month doesn’t seem so bad, especially when it’s also the only camera I’ll bother carrying with me to most places, not to mention all the other uses such as mapping. Compared to what PCs used to cost it’s reasonable, and they certainly didn’t used to last five years.

My 6s - that came out in 2015 - runs the latest iOS quite happily. Can’t fault that

My Mum has my old iPhone 6, so at £539 + a £40 battery swap which made it as fast as day 0 again, it does everything my Mum needs. So assuming it gets to it's 6th birthday because I will probably upgrade to the 12 and she'll get my X, that works out at £8.42 a month for it's usefulness. And while its processor can't support iOS 13, it still gets iOS 12 patches, last one was released last month according to Wikipedia, so while you might not get the latest iOS on a device from 2014, you're still being looked after from a security stand point. I doubt any Android phone from 2014 has received an update for years, unless you root and piss about with it yourself. Ain't nobody got time for that.

I have a 2nd hand iPhone SE with a very short battery life, so it's charging a lot. It keeps giving me little tickles of electric shock sometimes if my arm brushes against it. Could it get worse and kill me?

Does this only happen when it's charging?
Did you buy a snide charger off ebay?

aye. got a handmedown from a richer friend and the charger came with the phone, so dunno to the second q. It also does it with a second charger I got off Amazon

Try it with a real charger. I wouldn't trust a snide Chinese one on a phone with a metal frame.

Dump it pronto as there's clearly something wrong with it and - worst case - you don't want to risk the thing catching fire or exploding into a Steve Jobs Supernova.

I need to buy a new one anyway, and not an iphone either. Best check out the Android recommendation threads, though probs best getting a 2nd hand refurbished one

If you can possibly stretch to a Huawei P30 you'll love it - if you're trying to justify the cost think of its buying a great camera too!
