      Does that actually have any effect? I recall reading that google doesn't really pay attention much to URL's (or meta keywords for that matter).
- pfista 11y ago
  Assuming the author created the url this isn't surprising. Jordan Crook is quite the personality.

  is "fun in a "oh yeah... thats very cute apple" kinda way?
  - the-dude 11y ago
    No, more like "you are burning karma fast" kinda way.

      I didn't read the "-seo-" part of the url. my eyes just glossed over and saw fun at the end.

        It's okay, don't worry about karma. Some people are obsessed over it.

The article doesn't mention 3D touch -- is that out of the picture for the SE?
- artimaeis 11y ago
  From what I can tell from watching the event it appears they did not include 3D touch on the SE.
  - usaphp 11y ago
    They showed live photos, which requires 3D touch to activate, so I guess it does pack a 3D touch.
    - kylec 11y ago
      No, you can also activate by tapping and holding. You can test this by sending a live photo to an iPhone 6 or below.
- Jgrubb 11y ago
  Sorry but - from the article """ No 3D Touch Sources told 9to5Mac that the reason behind this is that the front-facing flash requires the new display tech we’ve seen on the iPhone 6s, which brings us to 3D touch. The flagship feature on the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, which offers deeper interaction with various applications on the iPhone through hard taps and long taps, will not be present on the iPhone SE.

    Not an iOS user: This phone looks interesting to me - how pervasive is 3d touch? Am I missing out on something by getting a phone missing this feature?
    - dep_b 11y ago
      I am getting used to it as in I've learned now not to press my phone too hard anymore to accidentally trigger it. Most apps replace it by a long press leaving only the force press home screen menus as the thing you'll miss out on.
