I have been using 5G in HK, it is too power hungry, battery size of SE is too small to have a good experience with 5G
*
one thing could be due to the coverage of 5G also.

if it is weak, it may keep on switching between 5G and 4G that will eat up more battery life.

My mum is using my old iPhone 6S so this new SE is a logical upgrade for her when the time comes, but for now the 6S is still crushing it. Running iOS 15.3.1 without glitches and only minor lags when running too many apps. Then again, my mum’s usage is just calls, texts, YouTube, WhatsApp and browsing the Photo gallery smile.gif

I think the SE caters to a very niche group of users… younger kids, older parents and probably as a second or backup phone. Pretty sure it’s not a good option for power users or those clocking more than 4 hours SOT on a daily basis…
*
yes, this is why iphone is a good. especially recent years of iphones, they are totally over powered which the performance is more than sufficient to last even up to more than 5 years easily. my iphone 6 plus is still working for my secondary for calls, sms or whatsapp, youtube etc.. of course not for gaming.

yeah. SE can still be good choice since the starting price is still lower for those who do not want to fork out more $$ for more flagship iphone or iphone pro.

To be fair, it’s only a good choice for those who absolutely need to stay in the Apple ecosystem, otherwise you can get a midrange Android phone that is equally capable and much, much better hardware specs for RM1.5k or so. Don’t talk about longevity or software updates though! smile.gif
Haha, yes, the additional 1GB RAM compared to the iPhone 6 really makes the difference feel like night and day. Can’t believe a 2015 phone is still doing it in 2022, hahaha….
Could be sooner than we think due to EU regulations but Apple is stubborn, they will persist with lightning for as long as they can I’m sure…
Actually I’m a bit reluctant to recommend an Android user to start his Apple experience with the SE particularly if his usage is heavy and is used to a 4000mAh battery or larger in the Android ecosystem. I’d say go for the 13 if budget permits. Otherwise, few months later, that fella will curse Apple and iPhones and go back to Android laugh.gif
I only see the A15 chip as the advantage of the SE over the 11 to be honest, unless you really need 5G…
*
i will still recommend cheap iphone over similar price android phone still. the user experience is totally at diferent grade no matter how much extra features the low end or mid range android phone is. haha.

For me, I would actually buy a 2nd hand iPhone SE 2020, and changed the original battery at Switch/machine for RM210... than buying a new RM1000 android.
*
I still have the 1st gen iphone se (iphone 5/5s design). that time i am switching my iphone 4s, but i did not manage to get the iphone 5s first batch. then out of my mind, i went to buy the samseng note 3 which it was the greatest mistake i had ever made on a mobile phone purchase. so i bought the se when it was out that time just to make up this mistake. tongue.gif

Let's hope Apple will slash this model price to RM2599 after they phase out iPhone 11 this coming september.

But something tells me Apple will stop selling iPhone mini 12, and retain iPhone 12 at RM2899
*
impossible. Apple never adjust iPhone price before even after new iPhone released or old one retired.

Anyone picked up their new SE3 already? do give a review thanks

Seriously not recommend to go with se unless u are seriously on budget constraint.

Go for iPhone 12 mini maybe a better option.

vintage mah..some ppl like it for the sake of collection.

is that the SE 3? how's the photo compared to your other phone?
*
SE gen 3. Comparing to 13 mini.

But the feel of the phone is poor comparing to iPhone mini.

I did buy the SE 1st gen Becos I like iPhone 5/5s design.

It will be a good option if Apple retains the phone after this year and sell it at RM2499, but I think Apple will phase out iPhone 12 mini after the launch of iPhone 14.
*
Yes I hope so. Becos I would love to collect an iPhone mini. Hope that at least iPhone 13 mini will continue to sell at least after this year new iPhone launch.

Lol…2.1k phone vs 3.3k?
SE is not too fight with mini and higher. It is like special edition with low budget so poor people like me can enjoy apple iphone.
If got budget, then dont consider SE but higher model
*
Compare with iPhone 12 mini base storage option.

It is closer fight.

No doubt se is meant to be a poor man option. It does help to make the entry point lower for ppl to own an iPhone.

I read they are phasing out all the minis...

Apple may make drastic step, only sell iPhone 14, iPhone 13, iPhone 12, iPhone SE 3
*
If phasing out all then will be a sad thing.

if they use XR design but with side Touch ID like iPad Air or iPad mini, sure will have selling market.

Nice to see iPhone SE not forgotten yet. At least in LYN. Ordered a 64GB SE from apple.com because all local shops no stock except for 256GB version. Fast. Should arrive tomorrow.
