I read some where with 16gb, we need to clear storage even for Whatsapp from time to time. Picture somehow is a must to clear. 12mp cam sure produce huge pic file.

May I ask about your usage? Curious

QUOTE(jychow @ Jul 5 2016, 11:06 AM)
Depends on individual usage. If you are not a gamer, it should be alright. But if you game a lot, you should get the higher capacity. Games are bigger in size.

At moment, the only game I play only Clash Royale, Candy Crush series. Maybe few other games.

I can survive 16GB in iPad but not on iPhone.

got a pristine condition of iPhone 6 Plus at good price, too bad 16GB. rejected her already.

Hmm.. 16gb sounds very bad.

QUOTE(Chrono-Trigger @ Jul 5 2016, 12:34 PM)
A fresh install for IOS on Iphone SE will take about 4gig +  of your 16Gig. that will leave you wil 11g+. The usual Apps like whatsapp will take 2-3 Gig EASILY if your friends like to send pictures and video. Facebook cache, I-message , all need storage.

Safe to say, with MINIMAL apps and maybe 6 months of photos taken irregularly, you will end up with about 2G of storage left to work with.I find this very restrictive and I need to constantly backup my photos and delete them from Iphone to make way for extra space.

The updates for the Apps keep getting LARGER incrementally. I remember it was only 90mb for Facebook two years ago, but now you see the it ballooning to 120MB. 16Gig will affect your user experience with Iphone.

16 Gig iphone models don't have very good resale value IMHO. I attempted to sell my Iphone 6 16G model few months ago, to my surprise only got 2-3 inquiries in lowyat forum.

In summary, consider this

1. User experience
2. Resale value

How is user experience and resale value?

not enough bro.. my parents using 16 G model , I see them deleting pictures and whatsapps messages all the time  hmm.gif

and old people like to send lots of forwarded videos and pictures.

Then by 64gb will be same like 16gb eventually sooner or later am I right?

I will be using SE for quite some time soon. And too bad it's 16gb version.
Since sooner or later, this small storage will be an issue for me, other than iCloud, may I use Google Drive or Dropbox for cloud storage? Will they be as good as iCloud?

TLDR 2.0 - Telegram does not have end to end encryption last checked. Probably why Whatsapp more popular since people are paranoid nowadays.

Being eavesdropped is not a good idea esp how people can discover our private information rather easily.

Got lar.
Q: What if I’m more paranoid than your regular user?
We've got you covered. Telegram’s special secret chats use end-to-end encryption, leave no trace on our servers, support self-destructing messages and don’t allow forwarding. On top of this, secret chats are not part of the Telegram cloud and can only be accessed on their devices of origin.

Q: So how do you encrypt data?

We support two layers of secure encryption. Server-client encryption is used in Cloud Chats (private and group chats), Secret Chats use an additional layer of client-client encryption. All data, regardless of type, is encrypted in the same way — be it text, media or files.
Our encryption is based on 256-bit symmetric AES encryption, RSA 2048 encryption, and Diffie–Hellman secure key exchange. You can find more info in the Advanced FAQ.

Hi guys,

Currently I'm using 5c 16GB and thinking to 'upgrade' to SE, only the 16GB model suit my budget since I only have 2k.

May I know is there anyone here using the SE 16GB model? So far the small storage suit your usage?

My phone usage can be consider minimal as I only use my phone to call, Whatsapp (quite a lot media), take photo (not always), music (apple music).

Anyone can advise because I don't want to feel 'I should've gotten the 64GB version' after I bought it.

For me, I expect my phone can last me 3 years.

Thanks guys smile.gif

I'm currently testing this SE 16gb as my daily driver for few days. Load everything I normal use like on my G4's, no problem, still got like 8gb left for music and pictures. Might be good to go as daily driver. And I'm selling it cheap too. Done my testing for now I guess. If no buyer I will just use it.

Seems like many of you have bought the iPhone SE... How is it thus far, and is it good value for money? rclxms.gif

There is someone I know who is a current Android user and is thinking of switching to iOS, due to various problems he has faced with the phone. He is looking at the iPhone SE and wondering whether to get that one for starters? hmm.gif
*
I'm heavy android user (since HTC Hero, LG Optimus 2x till LG V10).
I tried iphone 5s (last few days), 6 (last a week) & 6s (less than a day), end up failed to keep me wanna use.
But this SE, really something. I can't tell what's the bright side of it, but even with 16gb (people keep saying go for 64gb), it feels good.

Seems like the iPhone 5 still remains popular amongst most smartphone users, when compared with the bigger form factor of the 6 and 6S... No wonder Apple decided to re-release it as an SE model, but what makes you Android users actually switch to this one (which is likely to be smaller sized than most and less feature-packed than Android phones)? laugh.gif

Well I've been using some of Iphones series myself for testing purpose, being ended up failed. 5s is the last iphone before SE. Iphone6 last me about a week, which required me to charge during mid day (failed miserably). Same goes for SE, mainly for testing, but SE simply impress me with the battery performance, which last about 2 days per charge. Even for today whole usage from 8am till now another day 1.36am, still got 77% battery. Maybe I less use but it's pretty damn impressive. My G4 already used up 2 full charged 3000mah battery for the same cycle, now using 3rd battery.

Back to your question, the reason stick to SE for the moment is, mine is 16gb, hard to sell when people opt to 64gb. Nonetheless, I use it myself, gambling later on to sell unsealed SE would be much cheaper price. And I know SE won't be able to fulfill my need as a smartphone, might sold it out later. But SE fill me where G4 can't, about 1 handed usage, latest app, smooth transition UI, good camera picture. My other alternative would be Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, or Mi Max, or Huawei Mate 8 for big 4000mah battery last same like 1700mah on SE.
