<p>Well, I did it. After absorbing the <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/03/21/apple-event-march-2016-live-blog-iphone-se-ipad-pro-apple-watch/" target="_blank">March event on Monday[/url] and <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/03/23/happy-hour-059/" target="_blank">unpacking it with Benjamin[/url] on the <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id641836403?at=10laZc&amp;ct=925" target="_blank">9to5Mac Happy Hour podcast[/url] this week, I set my alarm for 1:58 am last night and pre-ordered the iPhone SE. Based on <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/03/11/apple-march-31st-event-new-hardware/" target="_blank">Mark’s reporting[/url], I had an early feeling that the iPhone SE <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/01/25/opinion-apples-rumored-4-inch-iphone-5se-may-well-be-worth-seriously-considering/" target="_blank">would be compelling[/url] (aside from color, the iPhone 5c never was to me) and overall <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/03/22/comparison-iphone-se-6-6s-plus-specs/" target="_blank">Apple delivered[/url].</p>
<p>The FaceTime selfie camera is a bit disappointing and the display contrast is weak, but the price points for 16GB and 64GB had a surprise and delight effect that I wasn’t expecting. So in one week I’ll make the giant leap back down from a 5.5-inch iPhone to a 4-inch one. Expect my thoughts on that experience in a couple of weeks. I’ll also share my iPhone SE review after some testing so send any questions or ideas over; I’m primarily interested in comparing it to the iPhone 5s and measuring the differences.</p>
<p>And now that I’ve had a few days to digest this year’s March Apple event, I have a few thoughts on everything it contained including Apple’s new Woven Nylon bands, the differences between the two iPad Pros, and a comment on tech spring cleaning …</p>
