Hmm, still unsure if I should buy this or wait for iPhone 7. hmm.gif

I prefer a bigger (but not too big) screen, but I also got an iPad air which I bring along whenever I travel.

why didn't they produce iPhone SE with 4.5" instead? cry.gif

would also prefer 32GB storage.

4 inch is the perfect size for one handed operation.

not point to have something that is so close to iPhone 6s.

Monday my first day to use my se as my spigen case and tempered glass I received only last Saturday.

Seriously switching from iPhone 6 Plus and use it on day 1, it is is really a bit not get used to it and the screen does feel really small.

However, today is 2nd day of usage, I started to get used to it. Think sooner or later I will have no issues at all using it.

I don't have a SE. Still rockin a 6 (4.7"). I'm tempted to get a SE for myself though. Bought one for my mom and played with it a bit, also play with my gf's set sometimes, and must admit I really miss the form factor. Only thing that bugs me is how the status bar looks on the lockscreen. You know how the fonts for the status bar are bigger in the lock screen compared to the home screen? Well, if your telco name is a long one, like CELCOM for example, or Starhub in my case (I live in SIngapore), you'll practically have the left part touching the clock in the center. I don't remember past iOS 7 to be like this back when I was using the iPhone 5, so maybe the larger text on the lock screen is an iOS 8 or iOS 9 thing, or maybe my memory is just bad. It's not a deal-breaker, but just annoying from an aesthetic perspective.

I am on the default 9.3 iOS on my iPhone se. No such issue as what u describe. And my status bar text is not big at locked screen.

I am from iPhone 6 plus changed to se. First day of change really cannot get used to it. 2nd day onwards it becomes normal.

Really? You mean it's not like this? See the text size on the top bar? This is taken on my iPhone 6, but it's also the same case on my gf's SE, only it's more closer together due to the smaller screen.

What is the issue? Nothing was blocked.

Like I said, that screenshot was taken on my 6, which has a wider screen. On my gf's SE (she's not here now so can't post her screenshot), due to the carrier name which is 7 letters long - "Starhub", our Singapore carrier name - the left portion's wifi or 4G icon is practically touching the center pull down tab. Also found one review just now where the reviewer is having it even worse; http://9to5mac.com/2016/04/11/review-iphone-se/img_0294/. Like I said, there's no functionality issue. It's just plain ugly and annoying.

Should be the display option setting problem. Maybe u set to higher text size.

Mine totally has no problem. Display maxis SingTel word totally no such issues.

I'm actually at crossroads like many here, whether it's worth to get a 5SE or straight get a 6S. My Ip4 is getting very slow lately and it's irritating.

My thought is like this, if i pay Rm3.6k for 6S, can it stand another 5 years? My Ip4 is 5.5 years now and it's working fine except it's lagging.

If i get 5SE for Rm2.6k, sounds more valuable unless Machines comes back with the Rm500 discount.

Iphone 5S is being sold for RM1.4k now at direct d but i think it will get slow in another 1-2 years.

I still need to think more  biggrin.gif
*
Get the se for sure. Price of 5s may be worth it only if the price is brand new set and not refurbished one!

Se has the same design as 5s but the power of it as can at least last u for anther 5 to 6 years. And u will get continue iOS update within this period too.

The spec difference between se and 5s is Sky and earth.

I am se owner. I love the phone as I like the size of it.

If u are not ok with 4 inch, suggest u not to buy. It is a superb phone just not all can accept the small screen.

Rose gold is sweet. I wanna get it, but can't get over the white front panel. It feels weird.
On the other hand, I'm done with gold. Lost the ohm after owing a gold 5s.
*
actually rose gold spot the best color for se.

i feel the body of the se is more solid on rose gold, somewhat space grey that i owned now i do not feel so solid as compared to the rose gold display set i saw at the shop.

the black bezel looks nicer than white one, but black one tends to look dirty more than white.

Case with tempered glass the best.no issue.

The phone itself is light and small, so actually less chance to drop or even drop case and tempered glass more than sufficient to protect.

That's normal. Even lion city first few days of launch no one is really rushing to buy.

But the following days whole island out of stock. Telcos in Sg only this week get the stock back.

on the yellow tint, its the usual adhesive color that will be gone within few weeks because the manufacturing process is identical to old iphone 5s.

on brightness, are both same brightness setting with auto brightness turn on/off? fyi, if you are currently using 6s or 6s+ especially, you will notice the SE screen is dimmer as it is using the old 5S IPS LCD technology with lower contrast ratio. the difference is something like you reading an actual printed paper vs a transparent sheet placed in front of the paper.
*
Yes, if u are current users of iPhone 6 or 6s series, when u first see the phone se after unboxing, u will definitely find that the screen is poor in resolution or looks yellowish.

But after weeks of use, the screen does become brighter and bluer.

You can change the font size to a notch bigger than the default and it would be more legible. It is good enough. smile.gif

Yes, with the font size set it to bigger, it is easier to use.

For some people it's the opposite. They set the smallest size in order to have more content on screen. I suppose each approach has it's pros and cons.

If more screen real estate is required, it is actually better off with 6s or 6s plus actually.
