Hello,

I heard that the reception of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s is superior to the iPhone 5s.
Has the iPhone 5se an better antenna, too?
 
I noticed a little bit lower reception with the SE compared to my 6S. Not drastic, but still less. In some areas that can make a difference, such as my office!

So far I've not noticed anything, but I'm not really paying attention and where I live, I get great coverage, i.e., Boston. I'll be going up to NH this weekend, and that's a particularly weak region of ATT, so that will be a good test I suppose.

Small point of contention: it's not called iPhone 5SE; it's simply iPhone SE.

Carry on.

Also, holding the wife's 4(S), her new SE, and my 6 together, the signals are extremely similar.

Yeah, I thought about going into field test mode and reporting back the numbers, but then I decided to finish season 3 of The Newsroom and take my daughter to watch the high school girls soccer game instead. :)
