hi guys! as a present I received an iphone SE, I just want to put everything to my new phone: my doubts are;
-to move photos I just have to put mines on the cloud and download them to my SE, right?
-contacts, reminders, notes etc; tha same right?
-I guess the apps one by one?
-music.., iTunes?

I think it's everything, if I miss something let me know please.

I appreciate your answers guys, thanks!
 
Backup your current iPhone either to iCloud or iTunes and then restore from that backup on your new phone. That should basically take care of it all.

well, i'm still happy with my iphone4 8gb because i got an ipad mini 2, so for my particular case, i just used iphone4 as a phone, text messages, alarm and torch, then occasional gaming, music, gps and internet. saying that my iphone4 cover all my needs and my main gaming, internet browsing and others: my mini2.
my family and friends gave me as a present an iphone SE. it's exactly the upgrade that i was looking for because the format factor, having an ipad mini i didn't need a bigger screen and I like small phone in my pocket.
the thing is that the SE it's a huge improvement, 6 years ahead in technology.., I mean, super fast and everything else it's far better, so yeah, super happy with the SE, totally recommend guys ;)

My buddy went from an iPhone 4 to a Samsung S7 Edge and was exclaiming how much better Samsungs are than Apple. I had to remind him that he was comparing tech 5+ years apart..

I'd be interested to know how his Sammy S7 is holding up in 5 years time :p

And yes, the SE is a fab device, I love mine too.

my fiancee went from S7 edge to SE.

she prefers the SE, the curved edge of the samsung actually hurt her eyes.
She was getting headaches all the time.

She loves the SE but sometimes wishes she went for bigger screen.

I went from S7 edge to 6s+
I too love the iphone, couple bits I miss from android but not a big problem and certainly not a deal breaker!

I just upgraded from a 4S to an SE :) It came loaded with ios 9 - have any of you upgraded to ios 10 on your SE? Is it a safe upgrade to make?

its safe, the internals are the same as the iPhone 6s, minus like different front camera, no force touch. other than that you're good to go if you want to put ios10

My daughter's iPhone 5S is rocking the latest iOS flawlessly. SE would have absolutely zero issue.
 
I tried to avoid itunes for personal reasons, and i just use icloud, couldn't be easier ;) I still amazed by the upgrade, I hope this phone last me at least 6+ years :D
 
I have also upgraded from a 4 to an SE today...sort of. I had been using my 4 as a stopgap since I retuned my leased 6 in September. The difference in speed is unreal haha. I was so used to the lag with the 4 and iOS 7. Anyway, loving the SE, which came with 9.3.3 which I think I will stick with for a while.

I have the 7 Plus currently. I previously had the SE. I actually miss it, as much as I love my 7Plus. It's tempting, because I see a lot of offers on the SE.

You sure waited long enough to give up that iPhone 4:D
I dont think I could last 6 years without updating to something newer.
Probably 2-3 years would be my max.

Looking over net I think maybe iPhone SE even become one of Apple most popular products.
If nothing so small show up next 6 months he will provide great profit to Apple.
They didn't expect to profit so much from something else during period of iPhone 6s and iPhone 7.
