I know, I just did the € -> £ conversion to show how it's even pricier in Italy than UK...
Got a tip for us?

Can you still get subsidised deals in Italy or do you have to buy the phone outright?
I'd say it's the best value phone Apple have ever sold in the UK.
If subsidised phones were not available in the UK this is the one I would buy. The 6S looks very poor value in comparison.
for an iPhone, sure, for a smartphone.... not so sure.
you can get subsidized deals with carriers, but I don't like it very much because they usually are 24 or 30 months deals. I prefer to buy my iPhones outright because I usually upgrade every year....
For Apple it's surely the best (actually 3G and 3GS were good value at the time).
I'm really upset about the price I paid for my iPhone 6 and 6S in the last two years. Insane prices.....
Well, thanks for figuring out what Android and WP users had figured out since 2012-2013...
I pretty much expect texting, web browsing, and video playing to be a much worse experience. I think this SE really is for a growing minority of people with small hands like kids, haven't adapted to change it and don't want to, and looking for value.
I know in my mind, I need a "4.5-"5 minimum to text comfortably. I used an iPhone 5 as recently as last year before I sold it, and I knew "4 is too small. But I am not getting SE for size and won't use it as a primary. I think it makes a nice travel phone or if I go biking for its compact size while listening to music. An iPhone SE can never be my primary or favorite because "4 is too small and iOS isn't my fav mobile OS. Android showed me the light years ago. The iPhone SE will always be secondary to me.

But you still bought it/are buying it. Apple really doesn't care where their phones sit in the pecking order....just that one was bought.
This ^ LOL if you think Apple cares the SE you bought isn't your primary phone, you still bought the damn thing.
I guess those few hundred million iPhone 1 through 5 sold were totally unusable.
That said, i do expect some UI refinements to get some screen space back on the 4" phone.
iOS used to work a lot better in that size than it does today, and its mostly UI bloat.

Do you really think consumers need "to feel better" about themselves for purchasing a product they wanted?
It's not a premium phone...but not the worst product Apple has put out.
If Apple updates this in two years time, at least a 50-50 chance that I switch to this.
Cost isn't a priority for me, but the longer battery life is a definite plus. And pretty sure that 64gb max won't be a problem for me either.
Choices are wonderful...
My friend has a 5S and types better and more accurate than me.
P.S: I have a 6s+. I think it has more to do with your own ability to type than the screen size.

Or perhaps the OP was trying to feel better about something?
I've had a 5 since they came out. I don't have much problem texting but I also mostly do my texting by talking. I really just text by typing when I don't want to disturb someone.
it only takes couple of days to get used to. went from 5s to 6 to 6+ to 6s to 5s again without prob.

yup totally agree. See science has proven that human fingers are increasing in length roughly 3cm every 18 months, ever since the first Iphone was launched. I have read Sarah Palin's monologue on the subject. So we should definitely see phones around 10" being standard in next 5 years. and in say 50 years, should we be surprised if a 50" phone is standard? It would just be asinine if they weren't

Some people like using smaller screens with no problems and some have issues.
Just like some people have issues handling a larger screen while others do not.
To each his own.
Cheers !
It may be kind of silly of me because the metal housing is undoubtably more "premium" than plastic, but a partner me hoped for Apple to reuse the iPhone 5C casing. I never owned one, but had an unexplainable desire to own a blue one. It felt so good in the hand with its curved back, but with a thickness that allowed for good grip.
