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:

I would try and set up your fingerprint reader again, if your not using the fingerprint reader than yes take it back to apple.

Unfortunately it was happening with tasks unrelated to the sensor. I made a Genius Bar appointment for this morning and thankfully my genius replicated the problem on the first try, when he attempted to double press the home button to show my open apps. He opened up the phone and found that a cable was loose, but he was still going to swap it since it was new. But then he checked the inventory and found that they didn't have replacement units yet, so they couldn't do anything for me until those came in (which was slightly irritating considering it's a brand new phone and had I gone to Verizon they would have just sent me back to Apple, when both have new-in-box ones they could have given me). But then a gal was checking in inventory and the replacements had come in, so they were able to take care of me.

ETA: I must say, after seeing the silver one in person, I'm kinda wishing I'd have gotten that one. Hopefully the SE will sell well enough to have future generations and if so I will be getting silver.

Interesting that you can track the UPS flight from Hong Kong. Guess I'll be getting it on Monday...
 
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.

Got mine yesterday at 11. Ordered as soon as went on sale from Sprint.
They really tested my patience. Got a shipping notification email on Wednesday and confirmed it on UPS My choice. It was shipped from Louisville, KY with 2nd day air shipping that evening but somehow made it here yesterday. Didn't think Sprint could pull this off.

I got a notification for today for delivery on Monday. It was suppose to be here yesterday so I had it delivered where I'm at on vacation. Since it's going to be Monday now I just canceled it. Really dumb that they couldn't get it done considering I ordered right away.

I'll just pick one up when I get home. Local sprint stores here didn't have any
 
I received the 64GB SE in rose gold. Beautiful phone and very tiny compared to my Samsung Note 5. Started setup and activated the phone. Transferred data from the Note 5 to the SE. Downloaded some apps and now it won't download any apps. Just getting spinning circle. Sent an email to Apple support as I could not find any answers in the support Forum.

Restart the device .... if it's still happening sign out if iTunes store in settings and back in.

I restarted and toggled airplane mode as well. It is working now just won't download files over 100MB unless I am on wifi.
 
I just ordered gold/64/unlocked but asked for store pickup. Since the dates move, I'm not sure if I'll be in town when it shows up. I placed the order last night (Mar 31) and pickup is currently scheduled for April 21.

Anyone see their date advance significantly?
 
Some MR Apple Deals if you're on the fence...
Walmart is offering $100 off its selection of Apple iPhones in stores, including the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and newly released iPhone SE, making the already affordable device available at an even lower price point.

The discount applies to iPhones purchased through AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint and is available on devices bought using a monthly installment plan.

Customers who purchase and activate an iPhone SE at Best Buy with a two-year contract or monthly installment plan can get a free $50 Best Buy gift card with their purchase.

T-Mobile os offering a "Buy One Get One Half Off" promotion that starts on March 31. It allows qualifying Simple Choice customers to get half off the iPhone SE when they buy a second iPhone SE and add it to a new postpaid line. Both phones must be purchased through a single T-Mobile account on a JUMP! monthly financing plan.
 
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.
I picked up a Space Gray iPhone SE 64 when the Apple Store opened on 3/31. I was really looking forward to getting back to a pocketable iPhone form factor from my iPhone 6.

I am on the phone all day for business. I have several over-the-ear boom mike Bluetooth headsets that I have used for years with various iPhones. The sound quality has always been excellent.

Bluetooth headset telephone audio quality from the SE is distorted to the point of being unusable on all of my headsets. The proof (to me, at least) is that I can unpair them and pair them back to the iPhone 6 and make FaceTime audio calls without a problem.

After some experimentation with various callers, it appears that this is a reception-only problem from the SE to the Bluetooth device.
