QUOTE(shyan90's @ Sep 23 2016, 04:49 PM) Lol..just bought Iphone SE. Hope that Apple Changes their design on Iphone 8 else this is my last iphone  They will wait since it sell. I'm hoping too it will get change. Already from 6 6s and 7 still the looks and feel is the same. The OS is definitely is the same inside. No doubt on that.

I know most of you guys saying that SE compared to 6S is at par. Is that really so?
Are they performance wise is at par? (Minus the battery, camera and force touch)

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 30 2016, 12:19 PM) For real world usage, I think the experience differs from user to user as well, so what may work for me or seems fast for me may not be for you. The fact is that the SE has the same internals as the 6S with a smaller screen and a smaller battery so performance wise, it should be same or better, logically speaking. More importantly, is which phone will be better suited to you based on your budget and preference (smaller or bigger screen and form factor, whether or not Force Touch is important, etc.). Well said. Indeed true. To know better have to get my hands on it

Lots of way to determine whether it's refurbished unit or not. Some refurbished units are merely changing the old bad looking body to new 3rd party body. But the most part that i think will affect most out of refurbished unit is the screen itself. I sell lots of iPhone. And my eyes are trained to determine whether it's original screen or 3rd party screen. Original iPhone screen is a bit yellowish the lightnings where 2nd grade screen is more or less is super bright.

Has any of you peep open your iPhone before? But don't open those that's still under warranty as it will void your warranty.

QUOTE(shyan90's @ Oct 6 2016, 12:37 AM) I know that they can reprint the sticker and matches with case and mobo. That is why i wont go for refurbished unit at all. Yeah. But it depends. But secondhand unit of course better in lots of ways if you know what you buying 😊

QUOTE(xisan @ Oct 6 2016, 02:30 PM) Refurbished by Apple then it's a go as all parts are confirm original. Refurbished by unknown which is a lot people selling at Instagram, online, etc, all's from 3rd party factory. The only original in this phone is the motherboard. Others are cap ayam. You will get battery/lcd problems in less than 6 months. Even though there is warranty given by them which is 1 year, they still replace it with lousy and cheap components. If got people selling refurbished Apple set, ask them the box. Usually new small box stated 'SEED' as refurbished set. This is from my experience exchanged my MAXIS iphone 5S and get refurbished set with box and SEED sticker on it. I think it will be the same with authorized premium reseller in MY. Box is available for any iPhone model and able to match the set details fyi  Got shops selling this.

QUOTE(michael9413 @ Oct 11 2016, 11:06 AM) Same here... Haha...android flexibility on my hand phones... But I like IOS tablet haha... True enough. Using both previously. Android is very flexible but not so stable and get slowed over time if no maintenance done. Yes you can modify alot of things in Android i agree on that. But over time you just need one phone that is very stable and don't hang on you when u need it most. I'm turning into IOS after quite sometimes in Android ecosystem for the sake of simplicity and get things done faster and a phone that doesn't hang on me.

16GB of course nowadays very small with the trend of apps size growing like nobody business. I'm having a paid icloud 200GB 2.99USD charge to my CC. Will be very useful if you own more then one Apple devices.

QUOTE(PerfectIndigo @ Dec 14 2016, 08:15 AM) Thanks, keep em coming. Now downloading the updates. Got requested status and downloading. As far as I google around, the update did affecting battery performance, but not yet viral. So since 10.1.1 only average performance compared to last ios9, then decided to giv a shot on this. Did you turn on the auto turned on screen when pick you phone up (forgot the function name)? I did turned that on. Maybe that's the key for my battery drain issue. Thanks for feedback, if anything wrong please let us know. That function is "Raise to Wake Up". I switch this off as it will switch on screen whenever u pickup the phone. In certain use case it may be useful but for me i find it unneccassary.

QUOTE(PerfectIndigo @ Dec 15 2016, 12:14 PM) Well, i bought SE twice as I feel it's worth to own which I've used for months. The longest among all iphones family. I might be getting this SE back, maybe with upgraded storage. So I'm here to keep my eye on you guys, who might be selling their SE for iphone 7 or 7s (maybe). Hehe, I will remain lurking around here.  In your own personal opinions will 16GB paired with icloud 200GB storage will be enough for iPhone SE 16GB?
