iPhone SE (2016) iPhone SE 2020 Pre-Order Thread

I live in the South West of France and ordered a Black 128gb SE on the 18th, and had a delivery date of 30th April - 5th May.
Just checked my emails and had an email from Apple saying it has been shipped using DHL, and should arrive on the 27th.
Checked DHL tracking and it originated in Eindhoven - Netherlands and is now in Brussels, with a delivery date of 24th.
Will be really happy if it turns up tomorrow.

It departed the sorting center, where it was scanned. It will likely not leave KY until around midnight.
 
30 miles away from me in New Hampshire. Left a note asking the UPS guy to leave the package because we won’t be here. Don’t expect it to work but worth a try.

I'm upgrading from a 7, so here are my impressions so far:
  • Transferring my data from the 7 to the SE failed at first, so I went and upgraded to 13.4.1, reset and tried again with success
  • It took about 1h to transfer 100GB over to the SE (minus the apps, as they are downloaded from the net)
  • when put in a case its impossible to tell the difference between the black 7 and the black SE
  • it seems like there is more memory as I can open youtube, switch to a few other apps, go back into youtube and still see the last screen without the app reloading
  • it is noticeably faster than the 7. Not in a way that everything is instantaneous, but you can really tell the difference when opening youtube, the widget screen or the camera. This was my main reason to upgrade and I love the speed!
  • Wifi, 4G and 3G speeds have not improved
  • True Tone is nice, easy on the eyes
  • Wireless charging rocks
  • Some review said that you have to wait for post-processing after you take a photo - this is not true
  • I cannot feel the 10 grams of weight difference
  • The aluminium back of the 7 looks nicer than the glass of the SE
  • iPhone 7 leather cases fit perfectly
  • Losing 3D touch is not a big loss - they've implemented Haptic Touch so well that it feels identical
  • Portrait mode is a gimmick, its done 100% in software
All in all I feel like I just bought a phone that is in many ways identical to the phone I bought nearly 4 years ago. I will take more time to make up my mind whether the upgrade was worth it.
