Read on a website that Apple use lower quality screen on Iphone SE to save power. I wonder how true is the report. Might need to wait for more reviews.

still for those who think this is quite pricey, just think about this...

iphone 5s which came out few year ago is stil RM 1.599/699k... worst hardware.. so canu u think a lil bit about it.

IMHO the only stupid cockblock decision apple made on these SE is not to include 5mp front camera..too think u have to pay 1.7k or more will only have 1.5mp front camera is obsolete...

last but not least let`s just wait till the phone came out this 31.03 for a review , u know that it might look good with more battery juice and whatnot, but have to remember that SE has better hardware and might take a lot of it juice away.
still i was hoping that these phone come out the same day as us version, as i was really interested to cop one of these bad boy in that rose gold..xD

Current review on the SE battery is great. 10 hrs continuously with screen on. It's much better than iPhone 5s and this is due to the more efficient A9 chip?

why greedy? with that spec, the price is reasonable.

At USD399 and 499 doesn't translate to our RM price here. Why extra RM400?

I'm not for gaming, im only wechat and calling. The reason im choosing Iphone se because of ios.
I heard IOS wont lagging even use more than 3 years, as im android user for two device, both device start felt lagging when use more than 2 years. Whereby I'm also window phone user, window phone do not platform do not lagging after 3 years using, however the apps are too limited.
My point of view, we buy iphone mainly cause of IOS, as iphone feature and spec are overpriced for all the device.

All devices will lag eventually. My iphone 5 is laggy after update to iOS9. The good thing is Apple update is available for most iphones model, but bad thing is they don't warn you it will be laggy update. And you cannot downgrade once upgraded. Now I am stuck with a laggy iphone 5.

I've been using android since 2012 up till now, and I've changed my phone almost every year.
The phone if somehow fluildly fast in the first two big update and became extremely slow throughout the year.
The pro's is for those who frequently used SD card storage find it very useful (Files, document, emergency pendrive, lanun music and other)

Xperia S (1yrs) -> Samsung mini something (couple of month) -> Xperia T2 Ultra (2yrs) -> Xperia Z3 Compact (almost 1 yrs/current)

Experience with android phone is Screen replacement problem, Flap glue dried, Lag during emergency situation(call/navigation/etc), slow update, unpromised advertisement, bad customer service,etc.

People who used Iphone seldom change their phone every year and might still hold it onto them for 2-3 year. this one i very butthurt.

This is the reason i changed to iphone.

I have been an Apple fan for the past 5 years. But I think I will switch to android for my next phone. I think Apple is getting to greedy and each new product from Apple is getting more and more expensive. I would like to switch my support to Google as Google is giving everything for free. Waze, Drive, Gmail, etc all free.

After all a cheap android phone for less than RM1000 nowadays can do all the basic things well eg facebook, instagram, dropbox, music, movies etc. Don't see a point o shell out RM4300 for iphone 6s plus. Bye Apple.

Hi, I am currently a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 user for almost 3 years. I am intending to own an iPhone and based on my budget I am looking forward to an iPhone SE 64gb. So, is it worth for me to transition from a Note 3 to an iPhone SE? I'm surely gonna miss the large screen though but overall is it worth? Thank you.

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.

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 agree

i use xiaomi mi4i before and just switch to iphone 6. 1 thing i can say : overrated

android seems to be getting better, and the price is very much less to iphone (i took xiaomi as example, mimax is coming)

not a fanboy of xiaomi/android but basically you can get better from android compare to iphone, just saying

That is what I thought. 3 -4 years ago, Android really weak compared to iOS. Today Android has improved so much that I would be happy with either OS. Then factoring in the price, it's pretty hard to justify buying the iPhone anymore. In fact iPhone and iPad has lost its appeal among many consumers judging from the drop in sales in the last 6 months. Apple iPad sales has been on the decline for 2 years now. The way I see it, all empire will collapse eventually and this is the beginning of the fall of Apple. When Steve Job was around, you only have 1 iPhone model. Now we have 3 screen size. So is the iPad. Apple under Tim Cook is more like Apple under the CEO John Sculley.

Also Apple is more about profit margin than user experience now. For a long time the iPad camera is so bad until recently the put a better camera in the iPad pro. The iPhone SE still use 1MP front camera! If Apple really care about user experience, they would have put the 3D Touch on the SE too but they rather withheld it probably for the next SE2 so user have to upgrade again. And 3D Touch should just be added as a new feature for the yearly update for iPad but Apple decided to call it Pro and raise the price by US$100. And the Iphone 6S should have the same optical stabilize camera like the 6S Plus but its not. My iPad Air only have 1GB ram and that really sucks when surfing the web where the pages will have to be reload every time I switch between tap.

I was excited when Apple launched the new Apple TV and again so disappointed when I see the price. That thig is basically a streaming tv box but price 2x above the competitors.

I was really excited about the Apple watch and again turn off by the price. And I don't think I would like a watch that needs charging everyday.

Sorry Apple. I use to love your product so much but I have to go to Android.
