I always laugh at those foolish enough (read: most of the internet) to give into the temptation of the short-sightedness which is to be making knee-jerk reactions to new Apple products, without even using them for more than 5 mins at a demo table, let alone having them in daily use for AT LEAST 2 months (any "reviewer" who does so for less time may safely have their opinions dismissed.) Over the years, SO many Apple products have been released, and not a moment after the new product name has been uttered on stage, some unknown entity goofball is mocking and "predicting its demise" whilst spewing utterly unprovable FUD on some blog or click-bait YouTube video. Over the next few weeks, this FUD is then blindly taken as "fact", parroted by the masses, then another hundred or so copy-cat FUD-meisters jump on the click-bait bandwagon and slightly re-spin the FUD, mixing in a bit of their own (of course without stopping to parse said FUD for rationale, logic and common sense), throwing it into the hopper and then spitting out a re-hashed FUD sausage at the other end of the nonsense mincer.
I have heard the SE being mocked as the "Teeny tiny iPhone" (or ridiculously obvious "jokes" (<token laughter>: "Ha ha, you so funny!" </token laughter> to that effect), etc, it's tiresomely inane and predictable really. Funny how the SE size was just "iPhone" up until 2014, and now we've all become enamoured with GIANT iPhones (which I won't deny I would like), suddenly everyone peers down their noses at a standard sized iPhone as if it were the subject of a comedy skit, "bless it's heart, dear little thing". Hey, if you've got enough dough to splurge it around like candy at a kid's party, and want to buy the larger models just for the sake of it, no one has any say in your choice, but are you really going to make an idiot of yourself by telling us the re-designed pre-6 range is a "toy iPhone"? It's better to choose by what FITS YOUR PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS (HEY, OR NEEDS - IT'S A GREAT FEELING HAVING FREE WILL, I CAN MIX AND MATCH NEEDS AND WANTS, AND NO ONE CAN SAY DIDDLY SQUAT ABOUT IT), really... Couldn't we equally, if going plainly on the perspective of size, call your 6S+ a "Skateboard iPhone"? Naturally, we'd be within our rational right to do so, if every person on the planet were so dumb as to go by size as the ONLY deciding factor, off-hand dismissing ANYONE who didn't align their choice with ours, assuming that everyone thinks along the lines (but will never have the courage to admit it) to follow the thought process, thus: "Big is new >> big is therefore best, as it's new >> big is best >> everything else is rubbish >> you have less than 4.7 inches? Haha - 'toy iPhone' "
I have size 13 feet - do I walk around mocking men who have size 8 feet? Yes, I am 6'5", 22 stone, VERY large, and I'll be buying iPhone SE as soon as it is released. You may now laugh, and I'll laugh right back at you for your stupidity in labelling a product or person's choice of said product, based on dimensions. It's a superb phone, and it's quite simple - buy what you LIKE, not what other people like you to like.
