I'm too used to Android so some things feel limited, like cannot sort icons by alphabetical order and finding certain apps can be a chore until I put them all in folders. Nak change brightness and open hotspot pun macam leceh.

On the bright side, camera not bad. Snappier than my S10e, but certain mode my S10e still win.

For now will remain as backup.

you can try touch and pull down from the centre of the screen, to initiate search for app, or anything. it is more convenient that way.

Icons are beautiful. I like to lay it out without folders.... :-)

Just got an iPhone SE from Machines.

Sold iPhone 11 Pro, and got this little beast. :-) Main reason was the Touch ID. With mask on, it is tiring to key in PIN every time because Face ID doesn't recognise face with mask. I am a light user and don't game much. Phone is mainly for business related messaging and communication.

I have an iPad for media consumption. So screen size doesn't affected me much. SE screen is decent and pretty nostalgic as I have experience with 6,7 before.

SE feels so much better in hand and battery is enough for me. A day is ok.

Saw on news ios 13.5 will enhance the face id with mask on.

Anyway, i like the size of 11 pro in hand but the weight is a no go for me.

SE size and weight is perfect for my usage.

Even with enhancement, you still need to key in PIN. It will skip detection and straight away showing you the screen for PIN input. Save many 0.5-1 second.

Saw from this YouTuber. Claiming that higher efficiency for the A13 under iOS 13.5. Wonder if that is true. smile.gif

I think dont put expectation on the battery life~
the battery capacity just 1821 mAh. The physical limit is there~

It is a small battery in today’s standard 😅

As long as it is keeping the same endurance like now, I’m fine. Basically a device for communication only. Not gaming fan on mobile 😬

Getting > 5 hours display time in alright for me. Touch ID is important.

I think it doesn’t work the same as Android. iOS follows the standard clock of 24 hours. But if we put out the average of many days, we will see a trend.

Mine on days where it reached >90% battery used, the numbers are quite impressive. However, Whatsapp is the major app used.

Dude that's terrible! Was it a painted on unit...? Of course it's out of their SOP. "Once sold leave the sucker to suffer" that's the only SOP we consumers get in this country! What with this bloody lot running all the resellers!

Demand a new unit raise the case to Apple online and next time please everyone just buy from Apple online

Yes. Have better luck by calling Apple support hotline.

Last time during iphone 5S days. The switch has a loose sound when shake. Call them and they were happy to give me a replacement unit even I bought from maxis. But upon inspecting friends’ iphone of the same model and realizing all of them suffered from the same rattling sound, I called them again to cancel the replacement. The parting sentence was ‘ if you are still not happy about it, please call us again so we can make a replacement for you ‘

Definitely call them.

Any SE user here who happens to be Boost e-wallet user too?

Do you have problem using/ enabling Touch ID into the app so that it can be used as authentication method when authorising payment using the "They Scan Me" way?

After entering my boost PIN to confirm adding Touch ID, nothing happens. So I have to type PIN everytime to authorize payment.

Stuck here (with 6 digit PIN already entered): -

Just used a boost yesterday. Touch ID works fine.

Maybe you want to log out and login again.

Anyone using this phone can comment about battery life? smile.gif Some of the YouTube reviews I've seen mention that it wouldn't last a whole day.

Depends on the usage. If you do game a lot, you need a power bank.

For messagings and phone calls, news reading, it last a whole day with ease. My usage is more towards simple functions and I have 50% by the time I get home from work. I have an iPad for media consumption. 4.7 inch, or even 5.8 inch won't be enough for enjoyable media viewing. At least, that is for my own preference. Cheers.

hi guys, is it just me or there's something wrong with the connection to Apple ID server?

I'm trying to activate my wife's iPhone SE2 after I did a reset but it keeps saying activation server cannot be reached.

Did you all buy the iPhone SE because of the Touch ID feature? I heard that the Face ID doesn't work so well when you are wearing masks.

Yup. Bought it because of the mask wearing norm. Will be here to stay for a while.

Was disappointed that iphone 12 didn’t include a Touch ID like iPad Air 4 doh.gif
