Yep. I never watched anything on my phone, ever, and I didn't come close to using 64gb on my 128gb phone. It was nice to take as much video and pics without worrying about anything, though.
Got a tip for us?

Still very happy with my 5S, and have yet to pay it off because I bought it last year, but to know that the SE is so great and that it's waiting for me as my next phone is awesome. Was contemplating killing two birds with one stone last year and getting a 6 Plus to replace my iPad mini and 5S, but I'm happy to have my mini 4 and 5S. The combination, for me, is perfect. Having a small phone is super convenient for pockets and for more discrete use.
I keep The Walking Dead. All six seasons. Along with some films. It's great for travel.
Really digging the SE. Switched from the 6 and feels great to use one handed again.
If the 7S+ rumors are true about a smaller form factor but larger screen, hopefully Apple can do something similar for the non plus models

I agree for the most part. As I've said in another place, I ended up having to return my SE, as an exchange wasn't possible right now (no more stock left). However, as much as I think the 5 body design is far nicer looking, my 6S just feels much better built. I also found the keyboard a little tough to type on again. Kept hitting the wrong keys. Just one afternoon proved for me that I want to have 3D Touch. I just have gotten used to it over the last 6 months. I know it's not earth shattering, but I like it.
Maybe if they end up enhancing the 4" to match the 6S, I will get it. Love the feel, but I think it's not worth the trade off for me.
Mr brown jeans was smiling and waving my box at me when he delivered it this morning. Gotta love him ... My 5s 32 gb was about dying on me and I was nursing it along. So glad I didnt cave and get the 6s back in Sept.
Now I can use Apple Pay and have a Touch ID that actually works. I bought the 64 gb rose gold.

Like others have already said, I'm glad there's an option for people that want a small device. Before the 6 came out, I was upset that our only options were larger phones, and really upset that the best camera option was reserved for the 6+. I went with the + anyway, as a test, to see if I could learn to deal with the large size and thereby still get the best-featured iPhone.
I think it took about 3 days for me to get used to it. When the 6S came out, I upgraded to that as well. I'll never go back to one of those postage stamp sized devices again ... but it's nice there's the option for people that really want it.

Picked up 2 for my kids today and am seriously considering it .
I'd be going from a 6s
I think you really have to fiend for the small size. There's no denying that it's more comfortable, but you are giving up some things. I particularly missed being able to scroll with the 3D Touch trackpad. Had I never experienced any of it, I probably wouldn't care. I've gotten hooked on the newer features though.
Watching movies or TV on a phone is never great for anything....an investment in ANY new or even used iPad will change your perspective instantaneously.
I'm very pleased with the SE. I feel as if I'm finished looking at new mobile phones for the next couple years because of the new SE.
I'm probably very much in the minority, but, I type much faster with the SE keyboard than I ever did with my old 6+ or even the more jumbo-sized Nexus 6 I was issued from my employer.

OK. That's your perspective.Watching movies or TV on a phone is never great for anything....an investment in ANY new or even used iPad will change your perspective instantaneously.
I sometimes don't want to carry an iPad and a phone. I must carry a phone. So in those instances I don't carry an iPad and it's a great solution.
When my contract (6s+) ends in September, I will grab either the 7 or the SE. Really love the smaller size though.
Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When I'm out here dancing with iPhone SE

Having gone from an iPhone 5S to an iPhone SE, I'm happy with the speed increase, the fact that it fits my previous case (though I did get a new one), and the ability to use ApplePay (haven't tried it yet). The biggest thing is that I went from a 16GB iPhone 5S to a 64GB iPhone SE. It's nice to have breathing room again. And no, my power button doesn't rattle.
I am in heaven as well. Got the 64GB Space Gray, I had an iPhone 6 and this is way better.
I'm really enjoying my SE, but I have to agree, I was tolerating a movie on my iPad mini over the weekend, I can't imagine watching it on a smaller form factorWatching movies or TV on a phone is never great for anything....an investment in ANY new or even used iPad will change your perspective instantaneously.
It is all about the screen size though. 4" works because most people can reach every part of the "screen". 4.7" is too big to reach every part. It has less to do with form factor and more to do with the actual screen size. I see people make the argument for a larger screen in a smaller form factor. Yes it will look better, but the small screen is what makes the smaller form factor work.
You have a point there, I never thought about it that way. For me its more about total dimension vs one handed use but you do raise an interesting point.
I thought about it a lot when making the decision to get the SE. I realized it was the screen size that I missed. I love the form factor, but I cannot reach all of a 4.7" screen with my thumb unless I shift my hand.
Uh, if the bezels were smaller then you would be able to reach more screen real estate. Since the entire phone would essentially be smaller.
