Don't see a whole lot of people considering this.
I'll start by saying I love my 6. It has perfect quality control and has been a great phone. Great battery still too. No real complaints. It does however take getting used to, size-wise. I've gotten used to it, and am not really bothered by it, but the SE is still more pocketable and easier to handle, plain and simple. But again, I haven't been longing for a 4" phone again. I like the design of both the 6 and SE.
The 7 is shaping up to be the lamest update ever, which was my next planned upgrade. Couple the fact that the 7 is shaping up to be really lame with the rumors that the 2017 phone is going to be amazing, and the SE having just been released, the SE almost seems like a logical choice to buy for now, sell the 6 while it's still worth good money, enjoy for 18 months, then get the sweet 2017 phone when it comes out. I don't really see myself keeping my 6 for three years, as much as I love it, but I'm also not interested in shelling out money for the 7 given how that update is shaping up to be. I also don't really like buying phones every 12 months, I like having phones for 18-24 months, as I tend to appreciate them more, and the Apple QC lottery is too exhausting to do on an annual basis anyway.
So has anyone who actually likes their 6 gone from a 6 to an SE? What made you do it or not do it? The SE is certainly an upgrade from a 6 in some areas, but somewhat of a downgrade in a couple areas (800:1 contrast ratio vs. 1400:1, for one thing).
