Immediately ordered an iPhone SE 64GB and an iPad 9th Gen 64GB 4g+LTE

It's simply awkward to reach your thumb to the lower portion of screen without a home button or pick up an iPad without bezels.

SJ is dead... move on now. You don't have to like the new designs but bringing SJ up after 11 years, having no clue what he may or may not design these days, is silly.
