Comments by an oft-accurate display analyst suggest that [Apple's next iPhone SE]( will get a notch and lose the Home button for the first time. Why does it matter? A report claims that we should expect the next model to feature a notch, making the device look more like the recent iPhone 14. That would also mean the removal of the Home button for the first time, meaning a switch to the gesture-based interface just like Apple's flagship models. What's my take? It's great that there's a more affordable version of the iPhone available for customers, but it's always been unfortunate that Apple's has essentially given them an old model rather than designing something new. I can understand why: with the SE traditionally offering all the power of the flagship models, giving it a nice design would run the risk of undercutting the top models and damaging sales. But, moving on to a more modern approach with Apple's excellent Face ID system makes perfect sense, unifying the experience for unlocking and ditching that ancient button. The question is, with Apple now packing the regular iPhone 14 with old hardware (compared to the Pro), what sort of hardware downgrade might the next iPhone SE find itself with? iPhone 14's crash detection feature hates roller coasters POCKET-LINT What's happened? The brand-new iPhone 14's crash detection feature is so sensitive that it keeps being triggered when people [ride on roller coasters]( calling emergency services as a result. Why does it matter? The feature is designed by Apple to detect when someone is involved in a car crash and is built into every iPhone 14, Apple Watch Series 8, and Apple Watch Ultra. What's my take? I remember watching the launch of the new devices and listening to Apple detail how much testing had gone into the new feature. I guess they need to test it some more. Mercedes EQB review: A slick seven-seat EV POCKET-LINT What's happened? Anyone keen to have an all-electric SUV with seven seats is going to love the Mercedes-Benz EQB 300 4MATIC AMG Line Premium. Not only does this chunky five-door EV have plenty to offer anyone with kids, the car comes armed with enough premium touches to make it even more appealing. Considering it’s a model that has plenty of added extras, the price tag of £56,040 is competitive. Our quick verdict You’ll need to pay extra to get all the benefits of the AMG Line Premium trim package, but if you can do without all the trimmings then ditch the frills and choose a model with a more lowly specification - it won't change the fact that when it comes to carrying lots of people, and comfortably, the EQB is a hard act to follow.
