If it was a 5.5" SE 3 Plus, with 4 GB of DRAM & the same "Gem" Back Wide Image Sensor as in the 13 Pro Max, I'd say the number could hit 20%, but as it currently stands, more-likely << 5%.
Proximity is only one piece of the cellular coverage puzzle. The antennas might be focusing far further away than your location hence the bad signal.Despite the proximity to a 5g tower, our cell service is MUCH worse than with our old, "inferior" T-Mobile LTE. I can hardly manage a connection in our basement being lucky to have one bar. Standing on our block a mere 25 yeards from the tower we get 2 bars. I had full service in our basement with our old plan. I have no idea why it's like this, but I am quite a bit underwhelmed.
It is quite possible; retailers still have stock of older phones. Just because Apple itself doesnt sell it doesnt mean they still dont make them. Apple makes several iPhones that are older generations for warranty purposes, retailers etc. Tracfone for example has many older iPhones still sold in retailers that are brand new and not refurbished.Well, you obviously didn’t purchase that phone new two years ago, because if you had, your battery health would be considerably lower, since the iPhone 7 launched in 2016 and was discontinued in 2019 by Apple. So your metric is based off a battery replacement or your device is refurbished.
Agreed. I run Speedtest frequently when I notice full 4 bars of 5G and usually get 20-40Mbps down (AT&T). Total hype.5G is a complete and total Gimmick. I have never ONCE seen it being used on my phone despite having a 5G Enabled iPhone. Marketing 5G as some sort of saviour is a total lie.
My 5G begs to differ…..5G is a complete and total Gimmick. I have never ONCE seen it being used on my phone despite having a 5G Enabled iPhone. Marketing 5G as some sort of saviour is a total lie.
If you chose a plan with data caps, that's on you and unrelated to whether you're using LTE or 5G.
If you want a smaller size phone it has to have a smaller sized battery, so then you have to choose between power and duration.I think the issue is that they need to make a smaller phone with a longer battery. I shouldn’t need an iPad mini just to get a whole day of battery. I wish they would adjust the battery to ensure that all models have the same life expectancy. The only difference when buying an iPhone should be screen size.
That being said, the iPhone mini is a great option So long as you have 24 month upgrades and not 30. I am already at 84% battery health and I am beginning to feel it.
You can put a smaller battery in a larger phone.If you want a smaller size phone it has to have a smaller sized battery, so then you have to choose between power and duration.
You can’t have a longer lasting battery that runs the most powerful processor but in a smaller form factor. You could reduce the power of the phone, but no one wants a slower phone. So apple gives you two options, both with the same powerful processor: smaller phone with shorter battery life or larger phone with longer battery life.
You can always put a battery case on the smaller phone, but that just makes it bigger. There’s no getting around it.
Pro: you get a new phone that will run the forthcoming versions of iOS whereas the 6s most likely will not.Will this be a huge upgrade for iPhone 6S+ users? Mine still work pretty well.
Thought you were referring to metered plans that used to be common in the US (and are still extant with some prepaid carriers). The "unlimited" postpaid plans here typically have a 50GB threshhold above which the user might experience throttling depending on network conditions. Haven't personally known anyone who mentioned running into that, but that just my unscientific observation among friends/family. (Usage for my wife and myself combined is usually in the 6-8GB/mo range.)There r like no plans without data caps in Germany. Technically they r all unlimited but they throttle you to either 64kbs or 32kbs after your X GB. For instance, 24 GB are 60 Euro at Telekom or something ridiculous
that less than 3K users were interviewed lol. That the article does not specifically state this and is basically frantic clickbait ready. Specifics in the linked article.Based on what terms exactly? Be specific.
You've got a problem with AT&T, not 5GAgreed. I run Speedtest frequently when I notice full 4 bars of 5G and usually get 20-40Mbps down (AT&T). Total hype.
5G is a complete and total Gimmick. I have never ONCE seen it being used on my phone despite having a 5G Enabled iPhone. Marketing 5G as some sort of saviour is a total lie.
If you live in the USAIf you're buying a new phone JUST for 5G right now you are totally wasting your time an money and should probably wait.
Has MacRumors now gone to using fully non-intelligent bots to generate articles? Or are the editors so math-challenged as to believe that an absurd headline like: "40 percent of iPhone users intend to buy the third-generation iPhone SE" might be a true statement?
40 percent of iPhone users intend to buy the third-generation iPhone SE, according to the findings of a survey by SellCell.
![]()
Of the survey respondents that plan to buy the iPhone SE, 24 percent plan to use it as their main device, while 16 percent plan to give the device as a gift or use it as a secondary device. While most iPhone SE 3 buyers plan to use the device themselves, 10.9 percent plan to buy the device for a child, 10.2 percent plan to buy it for their partner or spouse, and 7.8 percent plan to buy it for a family member such as a parent or grandparent.
Most customers are planning to buy the third-generation iPhone SE because of its price point, but 15.2 percent are mainly attracted to 5G connectivity, 11.3 percent prefer its compact form factor, and 6.7 percent prefer the Home Button with Touch ID.
Most users upgrading to the iPhone SE will be upgrading from the iPhone 11, accounting for 11.5 percent of models that users intend to part ways with once the new iPhone SE launches. Beyond the iPhone 11, 6.8 percent are planning to upgrade from the iPhone XR and 6.7 percent are planning to upgrade from the iPhone 12, but there is widespread appetite to switch to the iPhone SE across multiple iPhone generations, from the iPhone 6 through to the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Of the users who are not planning to buy the new iPhone SE, 66.2 percent said that they are still happy with their current iPhone model, 9.3 percent are waiting for the iPhone 14 lineup to launch, 4.1 percent say that the device is too small, and three percent say that it is not premium enough.
The independent survey asked 2,549 adult iPhone owners in the United States about their thoughts on the third-generation iPhone SE. For a more detailed breakdown, see SellCell's full survey breakdown.
The third-generation iPhone SE is widely expected to be announced at Apple's "Peek Performance" event on March 8, likely alongside the fifth-generation iPad Air, and potentially a redesigned high-end Mac mini and a refreshed 13-inch MacBook Pro.

This sounds completely absurd - 40% of all iPhone users are going to buy this new phone? Googles suggests there are about one billion active iPhones in the world. And this survey is suggesting that roughly 400 million of them are about to be replaced with the new iPhone SE? I find that pretty hard to believe. Sounds like their survey group was pretty skewed (and their interpretation of the data was naive), or they’re being disingenuous. Even if that’s what the survey said, I would expect MacRumors to report it with a bit more skepticism.40 percent of iPhone users intend to buy the third-generation iPhone SE, according to the findings of a survey by SellCell.
