That method you mentioned back-up to iCloud. The problem is how to retrieve the data back once I hv back up. I read that in order to retrieve from iCloud, first I hv to delete all existing data. This is crazy because iCloud does not restore all data completely. Also it does not restore all of my Apps in the phone before I delete them. So, how?

1. Insert the SIM card to old iPhone. From there , look for 'backup to iCloud' setting inside the whatsapp app. This will upload whatsapp to a separate folder inside the iCloud. Backup.

2. Insert the SIM card to iPhone se. Erase your current whatsapp app. Re-download whatsapp from AppStore. It will ask for verification and prompt you about restoring from iCloud. (Careful about cellular data leak - make sure u disable cellular data for iCloud recovery whatsapp) I kena leak 1 gig data zzzzz.

3. The reason iCloud does not restore the app (but the settings) is to save space on iCloud account, I speculate. The restore process will download the app from AppStore, instead of iCloud.

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

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

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

It's a good phone and reasonably priced. Get a 64G model, that is my advice.
