iPhone SE Order thread

MRU said:
Ordered mine in Ireland yesterday evening from the Apple online store and I got shipping notification about an hour ago. Very surprised as it said 4-6 days processing on the Apple store.

Cool. Which did you get ? 16/64 ? colour ? :)

16GB Rose Gold.

Great device! I thought it would take me a while to get adjusted to the screen size, but I feel right at home with it.

I am as happy returning to this size as I expected; which is to say thrilled. One thing I noticed is that the SE has a warmer tone than the 6S. Both are set at about 50% brightness. It's more noticeable in person, but all I have aside from my phone to take photos is my iPad.

Yep, my screen is a little on the warm side as well compared to the my 6's.

If it was to arrive March 31st, it is most likely you have overnight shipping but you should have received an email from Sprint with your tracking information or Sprint should have told you there was a tracking number and given it to you. If they didn't provide you with a tracking number it is most likely your phone hasn't shipped. I recommend calling them back and ask if they have tracking information on your phone.

Yeah I am aware I should have a tracking number, what I am saying is that their site told me one thing, but the reps are saying no iphone se's are going to ship until the end of the week or next week. Trying to figure out if anyone else that ordered from sprint has heard that or not.

Oh. Yea it must be frustrating when you are being kept in the dark. Hope you get an update soon.

I am envious. Mine went from being at the "destination facility" to being at the "sort facility" to being at the "destination facility again." There's no way it's getting here before noon, and a good possibility it won't be here until early evening. And they have an 8:00 p.m. cut-off time, so if they're too full, they won't deliver it until tomorrow, and being at the far end of the route, if they don't have time to complete their deliveries, mine will be one of the ones postponed.

It's really crappy that they didn't provide delivery information to FedEx a day sooner, with a hold for today. It would have arrived in Spokane yesterday and made it onto an early-morning truck rather than an afternoon truck.

That's what I should have done!

Relax! Most likely you'll still get it today.

Yep. After all my kvetching and gripping, it made it onto the truck a few minutes after I posted, and it arrived about 45 minutes ago. The FedEx driver told me there are thousands of them in the Spokane area alone, and that FedEx hired on extra drivers just for today, knowing the phones were on their way. Whoopee!

Mine has been on the UPS truck since 7am. I have to go at 5pm. I hope it gets here before that.
 
For the members who got the Rose Gold, how is the color reflection in real life ? is it too tacky like the 6S edition ? too feminine ? I am struggling between the space grey (save bet) and the rose gold :D

The shade is identical. I didn't think the 6S was tacky but then again I'm a female so the "feminine" color doesn't bother me. If you want to see a comparison photo of the back of both in rose gold, let me know.

UPS dropped off my iPhone SE a few hours ago. I paid full price for this phone and I don't regret it one bit! It has the same beautiful design with next-gen specs and one-handed usage! :)

Even though Apple says the iPhone SE uses 1st-gen TouchID I do have to say that it works really well. It reads my fingerprints rather quickly compared to an old 5S that I still have. Maybe because of the A9 chip? A welcome surprise!

I'm a man and I absolutely love this color, it look even better in real life than on photo. I would say go ahead if you really like this color, the time where pink = female and blue = man is over, buy whatever suits you best. ;)

went for gold as a change from silver. like it a lot, feels very smooth and fast, photos seem good, touchid is nice after a 5. the matte finish is nice
 
Mine is silver, and I'm quite pleased with the color. The size is very nice. Same height and width as my iPod Touch, and just a tiny bit thicker, though it feels as though it's twice as thick because of the squared-off back edge, compared to the iPod's curved back edge. I phoned my sister, and the old Motorola Bluetooth headset I used with my flip phone, and which provided excellent sound, was extremely distorted on the iPhone. Once I shut it off and used the phone by itself, the sound quality was fine. It's going to take some getting used to because I'm not used to a phone that does anything other than make phone calls.

With the flip phone you answer or dial calls, when you're done you hang up. With the iPhone there's so much going on! I phoned my cousin (who didn't answer) and was surprised when the phone asked me if I wanted to use speakerphone, Bluetooth, or phone. It's going to be a steep learning curve.

I know! This is what I'm debating: though I don't know if I will keep my SE or not. I'm testing it to debate migration from a 6S Plus.

Yes, it is a feminine looking coloir. But hey, if the CEO of T-Mobile can carry a pink phone around, don't let it bother you. I'm not gonna let it bother me. My Rose gold arrived a couple hours ago.

**Update: UPS just dropped them off at 6:42pm ! Woohoo! :):apple:


6:31pm and still awaiting UPS to deliver two iPhone SE's and my wife's new iPad Pro 9.7".
My UPS tracking earlier this AM indicated "Severe weather conditions have delayed delivery. / Your shipment is scheduled to arrive today after the delivery commitment time." **

I'm wondering what time UPS considers "after the delivery commitment time"? I hope not later than 8:30pm.....:eek:

** - There was no severe weather in this part of TX today however the weather issue referred to may have been closer to TN where the packages originated.
