iPhone SE problem?

It is way behind from iPhone 6s.they just added a9 chip in iPhone 5 body and that's it.worst ever product from Apple

They added most of what the 6S is (The Camera, ram, CPU, GPU etc) and put it in a form factor that many people (including myself) love. It has better battery life than the 6S and a screen size that many want. It costs A LOT less than the 6S, and less than the 5S did just before the SE was introduced.

You mustn't know anything about Apple if you think its the worse product ever.


Anyways, OP, I know some people have issues with rattly lock buttons, but I honestly don't think its that big a deal.

It's basically a 6S in a 5S body. I don't know where you're getting your misinformation from, but you're quite simply wrong.

Go look up the tech specs if you doubt it. Every review features them, as does Apple's page on it. Further, the SE actually benchmarks a bit higher than the 6S and 6S Plus, as shown above.

You can't even get it right that it's in essentially 5s body rather than a 5 body. Then you being up irrelevant things like the aluminum which doesn't have a meaningful effect for that size/design, or Retina display which in fact it has and it's the same as what's even in 6s (from the Retina/PPI perspective that you bring up). Seems like lots of things are being thrown around without much understanding of what they even are, what they mean, and what impact they could even have.

And even all that aside, none of this is even relevant to what was actually asked and what's being discussed in this thread.

Those would be valid complaints if the phone started at $600.
It actually starts at less than the 5S sold for immediately before, so until you find something that makes the SE worse than the 5S, you're not making sense.

That review backs up that the SE is a most respectable phone.

Apple's worst product? OP needs to get a reality check...

The OP wasn't saying that, just some other user posting irrelevant things derailing the discussion.

3D Touch = Gimmicky

"Lazy" Touch ID sensor works fine

The front facing camera isn't bad

What are you honestly going to use a barometer for. I want three legitimate reasons before I revoke this claim.

It's not a "decade old" Retina display. The 4" Retina display came from the iPhone 5 in 2011 or 2012. 4 or 5 years < 10 years

"Poor 6000 series aluminum" it's not "poor". The phone is durable, and the 6000 series aluminum is a non-issue

"No Taptic Engine" A Taptic Engine isn't going to make the difference when buying a phone.

If Apple is such a "greedy company" that "controls our minds", then why would you support the 6s. Not disagreeing that a lot of Apple products have a higher-than-reasonable profit margin.

Its in a 5S body actually. Touch ID 1 is fast enough for the iPad Pro, most people find it acceptable. Plenty of people are happy to give up 3D touch for the screen size they want and longer battery life. The lack of a barometer doesn't matter, and neither does most things you've listed.

The iPhone SE is an excellent low end phone - FAR cheaper than the 6S, it has longer battery life and suits the needs of people (like me) who don't want large phone screens. It is not meant to be a flagship model, besides it having the majority of what the iPhone 6S does have at half the price.

THEN DON'T BUY IT!

THIS PHONE IS NOT FOR YOU!

Do you understand that the iPhone SE is not their flagship model? It is intact their low end model, and given its specs, it is a pretty damn good low end model, it is on par with the 6S in most areas.

Most of the 'Major issues' you bring up don't matter to people. Unless you're coming from a 6S, than nobody will miss 3D touch, plenty don't take selfies etc. The SE is actually CHEAPER than the 5S it replaced, despite being far more advanced, in literally every way. Personally, I have an iPhone 5 - it does literally everything I already want it to do - the size and form factor are perfect, so is the screen the only things that I could ask are for better performance, longer battery life and a better camera, and the performance thing is really not an issue yet (given how well it runs iOS 9), so look the SE is a perfect replacement. I suspect many are in the same boat as me.

If the SE offends you so much go buy a 6S.

Funny how you made essentially the same exact post yourself before and then here you are knowingly and admittedly just derailing this discussion:

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/iphone-se-hardware-issues.1965846/page-2#post-22822936

Or how some things you point out as negatives are things that you don't even see as issues actually:

Good. Then what is your problem with the SE? You don't need one or own one. Almost everyone who bought one is happy with it.

it costs less than half what the 6S+ cost, so having anywhere near the feature set of the 6S is impressive.

Seems like boredom and/or resentment of some sort are mostly what's in play here based on previous threads and posts.

Same here, actually. The ultra fast Touch ID entirely defeats the purpose of a lockscreen. For me, the slightly slower one is actually an improvement.

I couldn't agree more. Even thought I check the time on my AW, if I want to see a notification I got on my phone, the Touch ID on my 6s is a bit too fast, so end up going into notification center. However, on my 6 I know I don't have to worry about the new Touch ID unlocking my phone.

Wow, nice hyperbole!

To answer the OP's question: Yes, there are always "problems" when any product first comes out (yellow tint across the top and button rattle). Now, are these things you can live with? In my case, absolutely. Especially since Apple will stand behind their product. I remember when I got my launch day iPhone 5. Apple fixed my battery and my sleep/wake button even after the warranty had expired because they were "known" issues. Try going to a Samsung Store (do those even exist?) and pull off that off!

Get your SE and enjoy it. It's a great phone that will not disappoint, especially coming from a 4S.

Just got my SE and my daughter's SE. There is a faint yellow tint at the very top for both, and a minor rattle when shaken for both SEs. Neither of these issues catch my notice or my daughter's notice in actual usage--I had to look for them and then tuned them out immediately once they were noted. Screens otherwise look nice and white and identical to each other.

Home buttons on both feel nice and solid. We are thrilled with them. I was impressed by how identical they were. I was expecting some quality variances based on all the forum complaints but we can't tell them apart if we don't customize them with wallpapers and cases.

I'm unpairing my 2 Apple Watches from my 6S Plus and going to pair them both to the SE since my SE will be my "always on me" phone. 6S plus will be used at home on wifi for emails, texting at home, and Facebook and FaceTime over wifi on the exceedingly rare occasions I use it.
