iPhone SE Order thread

After a year and a half of constant aggravation with my Samsung Note 4, I decided to sell it and temporarily go back to my iPhone 5, everyone called me crazy going from a 2560x1440 5.8" OLED screen to this 4 year old 4" device. with the anticipation of down the road going with either a 6S or iPhone 7 depending on what the news on that is. but Honestly the more I use this over the past few days (apart from the battery being toast but have a new one on the way) i forgot how much of a joy it is to carry around a normal size device, and speed wise I can't believe how the iPhone 5 is still relevant today, in a lot of ways is even faster at app loading and app switching over that quad core snapdragon 805 2.65ghz Note 4..

Anyway what I'm getting at with all this, I might just say screw it and buy a 64GB iPhone SE and regain my pocket space.

Ordered my SE from T-Mobile on Friday, est. 4-6 wks ship, changed on Sat to 2-4 wks. Just got a shipped text from T-mo with a UPS tracking no. Not bad at all. No estimated arrival date yet though.

And yet I am still waiting for it to ship when I bought it from the Apple online store. :/
 
Phone arrived today, 6 days for a Space Gray 16mb, from T-Mobile.

For anyone who's ordered from T-Mo, does the phone come with a Sim in the phone? It's a gift, and I was hoping I wouldn't have to open the box to see, may have to I guess. When I got my 6+ 1 1/2 yrs. ago, there was a Sim in a separate card thing, and also one in the phone.
 
Today feels, to me, like the first day with my new iPhone SE, since it took me a few days to get it activated and get a case for it. It feels like the same phone, but much faster. My previous phone was an iPhone 4, which was rather slow on iOS 7.1. Siri is kind of cool.
 
I've ordered a 64gb SE in Silver for my mum, to replace her now archaic iPhone 3G.
Ordered roughly 2 weeks ago but delivery date lists as 14/05 for pick up in store.

I don't suppose anyone has been able to pick up one outright anywhere in Perth (Western Australia) recently?
 
After canvassing the T-Mobile stores in my area, I ordered a 64gb Space Gray SE at my local store. They were showing back ordered and estimating 2-4 weeks for delivery. Just got the "shipped" message this morning. That's a lot quicker than I expected.
 
Non of my local T-Mobile stores had one in stock so I ordered one online yesterday 64gb Gold model, arrives today... can't wait!
 
64gb space grey ordered from Sprint on the 31st arrived yesterday, about a week after originally projected. It feels strange to upgrade to a new phone after 3.5 years that's the exact same form factor as the old one, but it's still nice I think. I also switched colors to freshen things up. So far so good! I'm enjoying the extra space and Touch ID.

I moved from the nexus 6p to the 5s and like you thought I would never get used to it.

I too have realised how great it is to have a smaller device. I love being able to put it in my pocket and forget about it

Got my 16GB Space Gray SE yesterday morning. Love it, best phone I've ever had.

Like the poster above, I can just forget about it and not be conscious of having a bulky 6+ or other huge phone in my pocket getting in the way.
 
I'm tired of waiting for an ATT sliver 64 to show up in store locally so I just placed an order for a SIM free one. Order confirmation says it won't be available for in-store pickup until May 31st! I find it hard to believe one won't show up in store before then.

Wow I thought supply was only 2 weeks out, now there a month?
 
This is pretty inexcusable that Apple can't keep these in stock. It's an old design that they presumably already have the tooling for, old screens, ample supply of chips and CPUs from the current 6S stocks...what're they making, only 100 a day?

So I checked store stock again today and what do you know, they got exactly what I ordered last night (SIM free 64GB Silver) in stock today. Quickly put in a new order and cancelled the on-line one. I'm typing this post with my new SE now. I like it so far!!

No, I went to Chandler Mall which is by my work. I remember seeing some T-Mobile and Verizon 64gb models in stock per the Apple Store App, but I don't recall which locations for sure.
 
I checked out the display model at T-Mobile store, really liked it. Ordered 64gb space grey model, back order time is 7-14 days. Anyone receive quicker than estimated time? Thanks.

If you read back just on this page, some of us got them sooner, 6 days for me when the wait time was 4-6 wks. I also paid extra for 2-day shipping.
