Comic: Do you regret your iPhone SE?
Nary a regret in sight! I can drink my coffee and surf at the same time! Tried and true top of the line internals matched with tried and true iconic design. It just took innovation to put it all together. Maybe Apple will release a sunflower 24-inch iMac with upgraded internals now??? Oh please oh please oh please. It is the perfect computing design for a standing desk!
Yess we can finally do that.
The SE is my first Apple product. I love it. Apple listened to all of us who don't want a 5 or 6 inch phone.
While it's great that Apple listened to those that didn't want a bigger iPhone, most people prefer the bigger iPhones (I have a 6s Plus and love it's size and would never go back to the size of the iPhone SE, it's too small for me) and you still are in a minority.

It might be a minority, but it's a big enough one that Apple released a phone for them
Had the SE for a week, but returned it yesterday and gone back to the 6, if you've not had a 6 you will probably love the SE, but I picked up my 6 after a week and it just felt so nice... Also didn't realise just how much I used force touch (mainly for just correcting text)
So then you actually mean the 6S? :)
Shhh. He may trade in his 6s for a 6 if he realizes his mistake.

Yeah, S for Sherlock.
Just upgraded my 5s to the SE last Friday and I couldn't be happier. The increase in speed is great, not saying the 5s was slow, but the SE is really fast and the camera is great. I looked at the 6s and the plus at the Sprint store that were sitting next to the SE and to me, they are just too big and i'm not a fan of the design.
Absolutely not. Have had it since the release day and love it. Have had the 6s in the past and this is by far my favourite iPhone

sent it back, almost immediately. how stupid does apple think we are? this is a 5s, plain and simple, with a little tweaking. you have to be a super moron to give apple money for this thing. instead i decided to get the galaxy s7, and wow! it is ten times better than my iphone 6, and a hundred times better than that crappy se. this thing has so many features. you can change anything you want. there are different launchers. i can put my icons where ever i want to, or i can leave them in the app drawer and not even have to put them on a screen. i can have nine screens or only one. there are widgets, which are programs which do tasks right in front of you. you get information with out having to even click on them. it is wonderful!!! and i have already used four different music players, just to see which one i liked best. wow! choices! who would have thought in this day and age, we are allowed choices??? goodbye itunes, and having to deal with the app store for everything. now i can download apps from any source on the net. i am loving android!!! i wish i would have done this years ago. it's amazing allllllllllllllllllllllll of the things i can do on one device. so our beloved apple puts out an old phone, with a few tweaks, but a smaller screen with even a lesser resolution than most phones today, and less memory and less processor? and at the same time that samsung puts out the greatest phone in the history of smartphones? brilliant apple! just brilliant. i guess that was what i needed to make the switch, so thank you apple for revealing yourself to me so blatantly. you have been ******** me out of a great phone experience for years, and now that i have found android, i will never let you fool me again. finally, i have the ability to exercise my own choices!!!!!!!!!!!
Goodbye and good riddance and why not join Lagdroid central if you haven't already.

Really? You have to go there? I thought iPhone fans were supposed to have tolerance? Guess not.

Wow. You got many things wrong or just plain inaccurate. Not to mention you are presenting yourself as a mentally challenged 13 year old throwing a temper tantrum. For starters, why are you comparing a 2016 Samsung Galaxy S7 to an 2014 iPhone 6? 2 years in the tech world is like 10+ human years- that little boy is now a teenager. You don't dis' the boy for being weaker and slower than the teenager. Get it? And you talk like UI customization is everything, but it's not. Apps are the only things that truly matter.

Gotta love when andoid users come and claim that they bought an iphone so they can fit in and make their commercial seem more credible.

Steve, glad you have all that free time to fool around customizing every last pixel your phone. Some of us have to work for a living, take care of families, etc. For me, that's 14 hours a day. My SE replaced my 3.5 year old 5 and i am extremely happy with it. From your description, it sounds like you've never used an iPhone, well played.
wow! reading some of these comments, i am absolutely blown away at the dim witted "i"sheep. no matter how pathetic of a product apple puts out, somehow the "i"sheep automatically are convinced it's great. lololol. it's one of the new wonders of the world. bahhh! bahhh!!! glad i escaped.
Apple makes pathetic products? Who revolutionized the Smartphone? Who was the first with biometric security? Who was the first with 64bit SOCs and 64bit mobile OS? Who is going to be first with a Dual Lens Camera? Who makes products that not only consistently outperform all other competing products, but retain their value better and last longer, with timely OS and Security updates pushed to all devices? Don't confuse "iSheep" with customer loyalty and retention within the only fully realized ecosystem on the market. Very sad how stupid people are absolutely clueless about how stupid and ignorant they are. I mean, what's it like to live with such a terrible genetic defect?

Good job restating exactly what the android news letter tells its followers to say this week, talk about sheep..

You are exactly what's wrong with the Android community. You'll fit right in. They think it's all about specs snd customisation, well it's not,it's about user experience which iPhone is still better than Android at. Let's not forget how fragmented Android is and good luck waiting for Android N while we'll all be rocking iOS 10 long since by the time you get Android N. How stupid are you comparing a 2014 iPhone 6 to and 2016 Galaxy S7? Still while your S7 plummets in value my 6s Plus will retain its value. Now you've had your rant how about you focus on Android and stay away from our Apple community that you're no longer part of.

I have used Android phones since like 2008 till 2014. Every one of them were troublesome in one way or another. A lot of crashes, sluggishness, freezes. It seemed every other day I would have to take the battery out because it froze up. These were Samsung and HTC phones. Updates to Android were *if lucky* months away where iOS updates come regularly. True, there's a lot more customization with Android and I miss that but iOS runs much more efficiently. The SE has 2GB RAM and that is plenty good for iOS. Android is a hot mess and needs specs 2x of what an iPhone needs. My battery in the new SE gets me through the day with no problem. My last Android phone was a Moto X (2013) and that was probably one of the best Android phone made at the time. My Samsung tablet is still stuck on Kitkat and is slow as molasses...
Unglück und obwohl wir es in den nächsten Tagen erwarten, Supercell hat das Datum der Aktualisierung der Clash Royale nicht freigegeben, aber laut den neuesten Gerüchten rund um die Anwendung sollte die Veranstaltung wird in Hrlsinki am Ende der Woche übereinstimmen

I had an iPhone 5s when it first came out then I switched to the 6plus because of the big screen and it didn't last me a year till I decided that big screens aren't for me as I had a hard time holding my phone in one hand even though I had a big real estate to work on. Yes big screens are a good thing but in real life it was impossible for me to multitask while using my phone. Then the 6s came out and I decided to downsize. I wished that Apple could make a smaller phone but I had no option other than the 6s this I bought one and later when the SE was available at the Apple Store I went to try one and fell in love with the ergonomics and feel of the device. It was a beauty. I quickly got one in rose gold, the 64gb model and sold my 6s to a third retailer store. I use my phone for keynotes and pages and yes it was slightly bit a hassle for me to get used to the small screen but I just use it in landscape when writing a document or editing a presentation. This phone is still the best iPhone that Apple made to date and I'm so far considering it as the best upgrade I ever did. From 6plus to 6s to SE. Yes I am totally in love with the SE.

When Apple just offered 4 inch phones and I saw the android phones being bigger I also wanted to try it out.
Short story is that I had the 6s plus and after a time I was annoyed of its size.
Sure it's nice to have a big screen but at work or on the go it was really hard to handle sometimes.
Because of that I switched to the 6s and it's much better now. I think it's the perfect size for most of the people but I still think it's a little to big for one handed use.
I think I am going to try out the SE because I miss the one hand usage and honestly I just need it just for texting, calling and few apps.
In my country many people still use their iPhone 5,5s or even 4,4s.
The only thing I am afraid of will be the display quality since it's the same as on the 5s. They really could have done better and also the selfie camera is really bad. I am not a selfie person but from time to time it would be nice to have a better camera at the front.
Wrong, the 6s is the perfect size for you, not for everyone, a lot of people prefer the 6s Plus over the 6s, not just because of the bigger screen, it's a better screen than the 6s and has a better battery too,not to mention OIS on the camera which the 6s doesn't. I since I've had my 6s Plus I've easily got used to using it 2 handed.

People who bought an SE won't regret it at all because they are the ones who refused to go for 6/6s and the plus because of the bigger size. Even if it offers less features than the 6 or 6s it won't matter to them at all as the most significant feature to consider for them is the size.
