I'm kind of tempted to get the black and put the white d-brand rear skin on...

Third party retailers (as a whole) don’t have the return policy and customer service Apple does. For me, that is a big deal with phones.
I live in the EU and if I’m not sure about something, then I buy it online and always have two weeks to return (from any seller). So a thing to consider, yeah, but anyways, I think the user I replied to is rather certain about her choices, so it’s up to her.
 
I have 4 iPhones, the 7+, 11, SE, and 6s. I have 3 working lines. I carry the 11 every day, and don't currently use the 7+. So I am not planning to buy a phone soon.

If my sister or brother in law needed a phone quickly, they can have the 7+.

Ok???
 
Does anyone have an image of the size comparison between this and the iPhone 6? My grandma desperately needs an upgrade, maybe for Mother’s Day, but I wanted to see how it stacks up in terms of dimensions.

iPhone 6 and new se are the same size

 
I don’t use an iPhone as much as I use an iPad. For me the iPad is a much more convenient device when it comes to browsing, games, documents, book reading.

I got the SE 1st gen just because the iPhones have much better mic, better speaker, can conduct video calls and serve as an internet hotspot for the iPad. Oh, and the GPS navigator is also very useful.

Would get the new SE because it has a bigger display which will make typing on Viber more convenient. In addition to that, it has wireless charging capability so I will be able to charge it without cables in my new car. The better camera is also welcome.

It’s a very reasonable upgrade for all of us for whom the phone is not the main device. Would get 128GB, the colour barely matters as it will be used with a case anyway.
 
Currently have an iPhone 8 64gb i'm planning to get the SE in black 64gb the 8 will go to my partner as her iPhone 6 is now on its last legs asking for battery service and no longer gets iOS updates
 
I meant to quote about using an iPad more.


This is my situation in a nutshell. I’m dropping to a smaller screen size but for the amount of times I use my phone I doubt it will be an issue. I use two iPads at home. The Mini 5 and the Air.

Amazon gives 2 years of warranty and if something happens, they send you a new one or refund 100% of what you paid (they don´t have a repair service).

I had a problem with a 2015 MBP and they refund 100% of what I paid, after 22 months of use... unique.

I buy everything there, unless I want a personalized mac (more ram, storage, etc); they don't offer that service yet.

Also they drop the price a little bit on iphone after a month (50 to 100 dls, no more than that).

I don’t like the increase in physical size but the shocking battery life on my SE and that it won’t get updates forever, and I’ll never be able to afford any other iPhone, means I’ll be ordering.

I quite fancy going for Red this time. I have 128GB on my current SE but could probably manage just fine on 64GB. I expect to be using the new SE for at least 3 years, so going 128GB gives me more flexibility in the long term.

So RED 128GB is my choice.

Ordered two, a white 128GB and a black 128GB, both with Applecare and both due on the 24th. I'm in the UK.
 
Ordered a 64gb white and a 64gb red. It would only let me order one per Apple ID, so I placed two separate orders (one under mine and one under my son’s), presumably because I ordered using military discount. I assume they do that to prevent reselling. NBD since the red one is for my son anyway, but I didn’t get to use my Apple Card for that one.
 
How much of an upgrade are the cameras on the SE compared to the 8 Plus? I really miss the compact size of my 7 and the extended battery life from the smart battery case. I’ve very tempted to switch to the SE. I know I’lll lose the dual lense camera, unfortunately...
 
Apple Pay verify purchase finger did get itchy.

Black 64GB. 24th.

I've been on an every three year upgrade cycle, and with battery still healthy but getting old (85%), get a phone with current guts in a form factor I like and a price that cannot be beat, imo. 3+ more years of runway and worry then re: what's next.
