Oh my gaaaawd!!

I'm am so frickin' thrilled to have a 4" phone again

This thing (Gold 64 SE) feels totally flippin' perfect in my hand.
Just magical.

THANK YOU APPLE for making an updated 4"!!!!

No lie , I feel the same way , feels really nice to type comfortably with one hand I must say ...

That being said , I'm curious to see what the iPhone 7 will offer in the fall.

I'm standing outside now so I can hear that power button rattling coming my way so I won't miss delivery.

Same here! I LOVE this phone! This is by far my favorite iPhone!

iPhone 5/S design + 6S internals= WIN

I thought the front camera was supposed to be bad? Mines looks fine...hell, I really can't tell much of difference from my 6S Plus front camera, even though it has more MP.
 
Liking it so far. Much easier taking pictures without the fear of dropping the phone. My only complaint is the speakers seem weaker than the 6. I have volume maxed and it's still not really loud.

Whatever they do on iPhone 7, I think they should go back to flatter sides like the SE/5's have - It makes it feel so great in hand (the size obviously helps too) with flat sides. A very reassuring grip/feel.

People were also saying how bad the touch id would be as it is the gen 1 version but it seems plenty fast to me :confused:

Totally agree - The one on the 6s is actually *too* fast for me actually.
I think the SE one feels normal to me as it's the same as in my iPad also.
Just fine - No issues at all.

I agree. The only thing I can notice is that my finger has to be more spot on for it to work. With my 6S, anywhere in the vicinity would work. Speed wise, it's fine.

Did you try during the setup process not always having your finger/s central? I tried to capture as much of my finger print as i could and in positions that i might try to unlock it.

iMore shows some side-by-side comparisons,

Man those phones are huge...

 
I can't wait.

I'll go to the store to pick one up.

I'm going from my iPhone '5' to the 5SE!

Yes the 5 works great still!
 
I picked up mine this morning. I ordered it at about 10 am ET and drove to the nearest Apple store, Tampa. Waited about an hour but now its mine. I'm finally retiring my 2010 IP4. I'm glad I waited for this one...as I didn't want a small-tv-sized phone in my pocket.
 
I didn't hold out.....I'm going from a 128gb 6 to a 64gb SE just so I can go back to a smaller device. My only regret is that it doesn't have the faster Touch ID sensor, which I REALLY wanted in my next iPhone, but my 6 doesn't have it anyway.

I also have a 128 iPhone 6. I'm tempted to move to the SE (which is what I wanted when I got the 6) but it would be hard to scale back on memory.

I have the exact same thought. At first, when it got announced, I was like what?, 1.2 megapixels ? This is going to be a crappy camera.

But now that I got the phone, I'm very surprised by how good the front facing camera is. I can't see the difference between this one and the one on my old 6S even though there is a big megapixels difference.

Really enjoying using a 4" phone again, my 6s is definitely getting sold. The 6s really does look big and ugly next to the SE, but it is in the hand i feel the biggest difference, the SE just feels so much better, much easier to use and better balanced, it just feels right, the 6s just feels all wrong. I haven't found any compromises yet after going to the SE, best iPhone yet.

Same here, just been comparing the SE to the 6s and cant see any difference either between the front facing cameras.

Also just been comparing the touch id as well, if you press the button properly they are exactly the same speed, but the 6s wins if you give it a very short sharp press, whereas sometimes the SE doesn't activate if you just touch the button very sharply, but in real world usage there is hardly any difference at all.
