Today, Apple announced the release of it's newest iphone: SE. This phone has the same intel core processor as the iphone 6s, but it is condensed into a 4 inch box. The creation of the SE came from complaints, mostly by women, about how the iphone 6 and 6S were obviously built without women in mind, because women by nature have smaller hands than men. This makes, reaching all of the corners of the iPhone 6 very difficult for women, as well as getting the massive squares to fit into tiny jean or shorts' pockets. Naturally, the feminist movement got a rise out of this and bombarded apple with attacks with the notion that women were not considered and that the iPhone 6/6s is an extreme inconvenience to women and people with smaller hands in general. While it's not being advertised that the iPhone SE is made specifically for women and the small-handed, it is pretty clear that this is the point of the new phone. In addition, the iPhone SE will be the most affordable new phone put out in apple history, with the 16Gb phone starting at $399 and the 64 Gb phone at $499. This is significantly lower than the cost of a 6s which is $850 for the mere 16 Gb.
