Rose Gold 64GB user reporting in. Will make a review on the battery life after a few days of usage.
Im switching from a Vivo x5 Max which is a 5.5inch display to a SE @@ Previously before Vivo was using 5S but due to water damage had to change to vivo which is a free gift |

I'm planning to upgrade my iphone 5s, I have not been following much but sounds like very limited stock for SE plus I don't see as much hype as well...Does anyone knows where I can purchase outright easily?

Best option is to purchase it via the Apple online store. |

I was thinking of getting the SE and selling my 6 for a while, but in the end (because I don't have rich Arabs giving me donations left and right) I decided to hold on to my 6. Will wait to see if the 7 is any good, and if it's nothing special, I'll buy the SE then, even if I lose a bit from my 6's resale value after the 7 is released. |

QUOTE(lightning69 @ May 21 2016, 05:35 PM) I have been and iphone user for the past 3.5 years and Ipad user since the very first iPad. I like the iOS platform and have been a very loyal fan to Apple. But recently I have change my mind towards Apple. I find that Apple products is getting more and more expensive to own. The very first iPad one was considered a breakthrough product and it's pricing was really great at RM1699 for the base model. A revolutionary product at great price. Compare to the latest iPad Pro 9.7" which Apple raise the retail price to RM2699. Apple has been keeping the price the same for all previous iPad but then decided to raise the price for iPad pro which is ridiculous. Google engineers also use iPhones as their personal phones. I met the lead engineer for Google Maps from Google Sydney and we had a nice chat about Clear (really good iOS only reminder list app) and his iPhone 4/4s. All the Google engineers had a Nexus 5 work phone. I also always get comments like this: "You are a software engineer/programmer/work in IT, why don't you use Android??" Back in 2011, the iPhone 4 16GB retail for RM2190 but the iPhone 6S retail for RM3199. For the 6S Plus its even more. Yes, we did see some currency but in reality APPle just becomes too greedy. I don't think I will be buying another Apple iphone anymore. The reason is because its too expensive and also Android is getting better and better now. There is a lot of phone for half or 1/3 of the price of iPhone that basically is good enough for all my needs. And for the SE, i think its way overprice too. Yes, its a fast phone but the screen size of 4" is just to yesteryear. You can easily get a decent 5" phone that is a lot more useful than the SE for half the price. I am wondering why are we still supporting Apple which in fact we should be embracing Google. Google give everything to us for free. Gmail, Waze, Google Maps, Youtube, etc. Anyway, that is just my opinion.  I also have colleagues who use both and like both. So bottom line is, it's a free world, go buy what you like  This post has been edited by secondrate: May 23 2016, 10:36 AM |

It's not going to worth your money.honestly, a bump from 8MP to 12MP isn't going to make a huge difference in respect of picture quality if you are only viewing it through the 4" screen. the sensors and aperture remains the same so technically, you're investing RM2.4k for just an increase of 4 points in MPS. it averages about RM600.00 per per MPs  the reason why Apple releases the SE is because they wanted to bring their latest into the form factor of what the people considered as their favorite iPhone design of all time, in a bid to secure back their lost market shares in the smartphone industry. It's not a new iPhone. so, if you pay no heed to any other features of the SE then my advice is, save the money. This post has been edited by shaniandras2787: May 23 2016, 12:57 PM |

It's not going to worth your money. True, only plus point for the SE is the size. The rest of the specs have ntg to shout about (except 2GB RAM, which is overkill for a 4 inch iphone honestly, a bump from 8MP to 12MP isn't going to make a huge difference in respect of picture quality if you are only viewing it through the 4" screen. the sensors and aperture remains the same so technically, you're investing RM2.4k for just an increase of 4 points in MPS. it averages about RM600.00 per per MPs the reason why Apple releases the SE is because they wanted to bring their latest into the form factor of what the people considered as their favorite iPhone design of all time, in a bid to secure back their lost market shares in the smartphone industry.

But it is still worth for those ip6 users who take video quite a bit (eg. with children etc) because of 4K recording. I used to think 4K is just overkill 1080p is plenty enough for me until I walked into a 4K TV showrooms. Oh boy....no going back shooting my precious kids videos anything below 4K from that day on haha |
