    iPhone iOS 11 fixed TouchID on iPhone SE

    Hey all, just wanted to let you know: I am convinced that a couple of months ago (one of) the last iOS 10 Update(s) broke the TouchID functionality of my wife's iPhone SE. After contacting Apple Support, Apple conducted remote hardware testing of the device and concluded a hardware defect...

    iPhone SE (2016) iPhone SE 97-98% capacity after 19 cycles?

    Checking Coconut Battery, my SE is said to have 97.5% charge capacity after only 19 cycles. It was slightly lower than this at around 13 cycles, and frequently goes up to 98%. I know I'm being obsessive but this is normal for a battery right? As long as it doesn't drain to like 90% in 2 months...

    iOS 11 GM - Optimize iPhone Storage not working

    On my 64GB iPhone SE, I keep hitting the storage limit and am constantly getting the "Low Storage" warning dialog. Photos is currently up to 39.86 GB -- and climbing (it was at ~21 GB when I updated to the GM build). Basically, instead of creating more available space by removing sync'd...

    Iphone SE woes

    I'll try and keep this brief and see if anyone out there can help? Wife bought an iPhone SE from apple webstore in April 2017. Beginning of August the phone wouldn't charge. I noticed one of the gold pins on the firewire had gone black. Booked an appointment with apple store 'genius' who...

    Does anyone else prefer a physical home button.

    As an android user for many years, I always kind of looked down at the physical home button on the iPhone. Just seemed clunky and outdated compared to virtual controls. However, since getting the iPhone SE, I've really come to appreciate it. The home button does a lot of different things, from...

    iPhone SE (2016) Iphone SE not responding - need to recover notes

    This morning, while I was on my phone, the screen went black and a spinning circle appeared. My first thought was to do the hard reset by holding down the power and home button. This solved nothing, the apple logo came on and then it went back to the black screen. I contacted apple support and...

    iPhone SE (2016) No one can hear me on calls on my iPhone SE

    I have an iPhone SE about 3 months old. For the past one week, I can hear people perfectly well on calls but people can't hear me. Siri works and FaceTime audio also works but my voice come really faint. People can hear me when I put the phone on the speaker and when I use my earphones. So...

    iPhone account recovery when old phone's screen is broken?

    I had an iPhone 5, but last week, I dropped it and the screen broke, rendering it totally unviewable. I purchased an iPhone SE, and brought it to the local AT&T store so they could transfer the account over. When I arrived home, I plugged the SE into my Macbook in order to restore the backup...

    Battery life

    I’ve had the beta installed on my iPhone SE since the release day and battery has been fine, a little subpar, until the last couple days. The last couple days it drains around 1% per minute that I’m on my phone and it runs a little hot. Any ideas what could be causing it? I have background...

    Crazy question : iPhone 5S owners

    Hello guys! I just run into a YouTube video when someone replaced the camera and the battery of iPhone SE and implemented it to iPhone 5S! My question is: Is it possible to replace the camera and the battery from SE to 5S?! If yes I would be happy to replace them, at least the battery to a...

    iPhone 5S : upgrade to SE or to iPhone 6 Plus

    Hello everyone! I'm thinking of upgrading from my iPhone 5S this year but i'm really thrilled for two models for the moment : iPhone SE and iPhone 6 Plus! So I don't really know well which is the difference between iPhone 5S and SE and from what I've heard from my friends, the 6 Plus still holds...

    iPhone SE (2016) Is the 1.2mp front camera on the iPhone SE noticeably bad?

    I'm thinking of getting an iPhone SE. I like the 4" screen size and don't mind the lack of 3D touch or 2nd gen touch ID. And the rest of the internals are virtually the same as the 6s. However the one thing that is bugging me is the weaker front camera. Only 1.2mp in 2017 seems pretty bad. For...

    iPhone SE 2 128 GB (MP862DN/A): Unresponsive Touchscreen (Touch Disease)

    Got a brand new iPhone SE 2 128 GB (MP862DN/A) from my German provider 10 days ago. This week, the touchscreen became unresponsive. After rebooting, things seemed to be fine, several hours later the phenomenon occurred again. I reseted the device without loading the backup from my former 6s...

    iPhone SE much slower in 3D than 6s? Thought it was the same CPU?

    Noticed this doing Antutu benchmarks. The 3D garden score of the SE is half the score of the 6s, even though other tests favor the SE in many cases. See attached (for whoever can't see the pic, the SE scored 8671, the 6s 17975). Maybe someone can test theirs and confirm? Any ideas why this...

    How is the speakerphone quality on the iPhone SE? Also how loud is the speaker when the phone rings.

    I am a little hard of hearing and am worried about the speakerphone and ringer ? Are they are loud as the 5S? Also if anyone knows, how is the battery life, could I last a whole day. My daily calls average about 1 hour and 40 min. Thank you for your time and have a great day.

    iPhone SE didn't come with iOS 9.3

    I just bought an iPhone SE. Was a little surprised that the default software it came with is 10.1.1. I was expecting and hoping it to come with 9.3 as from prior experience, iPhones run most seamlessly on their native iOS. When I got the iPhone 5 in December 2013, it came with its native iOS 6...

    How is the iPhone 7/ iPhone 7+/ iPhone SE. How is the call quality on these phones and which would be better ? I have heard some people having poor call quality on iPhone 7/7+ on Verizon, is this true? Call quality is mainly important for me as I use my phone 97% of the time for talking 2% for...
