iPhone SE Order thread

Is anyone having an issue with the home button? About 1 out of 4 times I press it, it doesn't respond and requires another push or sometimes two. I hate dealing with going in to Apple but I guess that's a lesser evil than keeping a phone with an issue out of the box. :cool:

Currently sitting at my kitchen table with 4 iPhones, an SE, a 6, a 5c, and a 6s to get me and the kids all switched around and the 5c is the att trade in. Gosh what a pain.

Set up my SE as a new phone to try to get rid of some of my junk - hopefully I won't accumulate it all again. so nice to have a phone that doesnt feel like its going to fly out of my small hands. Hope everyone enjoys their new toys!
 
The only thing I've noticed is the TouchID wanting me to try again more often than I'd like. Maybe I need to "retrain" it. But so far so good! Going from a 5 to an SE is quite the leap.

I've found that it seems to work better if you put one finger in as more than one print.

Its a jarring shock to go from the 6S plus to the SE... but I am adjusting fairly quickly. I think I might just keep both phones... I really like what the 6S plus brings to the table. But I like the one handed ease of use of the SE.
 
My iPhone SE is in Hong Kong right now! It's due here Monday April 4th. It's a 64GB space gray, unlocked, ordered online Thursday 3/24 around 9am or so.
 
Just turned on my 6 after a day using the SE. Seems enormous and clunky. Not sure how I did it for so long, but glad to have the ease of one hand operation back as well as the glass 'n squared off style of the 5/5S (always appealed more to me than the rounded off edges of the 6/6S)

I would try and set up your fingerprint reader again, if your not using the fingerprint reader than yes take it back to apple.
[doublepost=1459481662][/doublepost]Well, I just finished setting up my new iPhone SE. I had a 6s with unlimited and I had some problem after I swapped out the unlimited sim into the new SE, it wouldn't activate, called Verizon and they helped me within 5 mins. I wished I had called them sooner because I was trying to fix it myself and wasted a good hr of my night. Verizon told me that since I ordered from Apple that Apple had pushed the new sim card # that came with the SE to my account. So customer service told me they had to re attach my old sim card # back to my line, she already had all the info and switched it to the SE. She told me I won't have any more problems and if I wanted I could swap out my unlimited sim back to the 6s if I wanted to later. So the sim that came with the SE is off my account and my unlimited is back on, I checked later and my unlimited plan is still intact.

Then I had to back up all my music to my SE, so I haven't had a lot of time to play around with the new SE but I am already loving the form factor. I can tell this will take some use to going from my 6s screen to the SE. But I had an iPhone 5 for 2 yrs so I'm familiar with this phone size. The next couple of weeks will give me a good idea how this transition will go but I'm already loving the size and feel. So far my LTE web surfing on the SE is blazingly fast, can't tell any difference between my 6s and the SE they both are super fast. I'm loving the Touch ID the most, it was much too fast on the 6s, it's just the right speed on the SE.
[doublepost=1459482288][/doublepost]Oh I forgot the most important part of why I love the SE, the power button on the top is the BEST!!!
This is my favorite feature!!
I also can't wait to see how the battery performs compared to my 6s. I can already tell my typing on the keyboard is so much more accurate than using the 6s.

There are so many things I already love, I'm so excited that I should be in bed but I'm playing with my new SE.

I hope everyone gets there's soon.

Got my SE and its meh. No different than the 5S. The fun part is always the anticipation of pre-ordering it at midnight and waiting for it to arrive. Then when you open up the box, you just realize it's just an iPhone 5S on Viagra.

Coming from Android, I couldn't believe how slow the 5s was and especially the reloading of web pages. The SE is back to the speed and memory of my old Sony Z1 and I think if you try a 5s in a few months you will find it unbearably slow by comparison.
 
I ordered my phone at 3:15am EST last Thursday, and got mine yesterday around 3:30pm. I'm all but done setting it up, and except for a minor issue here or there, it appears to be a great phone.

I'm very pleased with the form factor, and its everything I was hoping for. Of course with my daughters having 5s phones, I was able to get a good feel for the form factor before ordering :)

i am so glad i returned a recently purchased iPhone 6S in time. phew! this is liberating in such a nice way.

64GB, silver, sim-free on T-Mobile set up as a new phone (no iCloud restore) in the apple midnight blue leather case. i haven't been relieved and happier about an electronic purchase i made recently. when the basics (at least that i care for) are good, and can be taken for granted for a while, you can forget about the phone and enjoy it in the background. iPhone SE seems to fulfill exactly this need.
