People mistaking iPhone SE as better than 6s

Is this an upgrade?
I think iPhone SE has a great offer, but it's all very momentary. In september it will not be the novelty of the moment, or the novelty of the year.
And for me it's an iPhone that wins for value for money, but not to be the best.

To be fair, I'm not sure what good reachability would do anyone on a 4" phone. You'd have to have the shortest fingers on earth to benefit from that!

I don't know why this is bothering me but a lot of people are thinking that the SE is supposed to be an upgrade to the 6s. I know some people like the SE better than the 6s because it is smaller and better for them, but some people at school today legitimately thought that the 6s is now inferior to the SE and you should get it if you want the latest model instead of the 6s. Again, I know the SE may be better to some people, but some people think it is the upgraded model from the 6s

Actually NOBODY thinks that.

I'm a bit suspect of your story about the "people at school", because literally no one is that dumb.

This is a rather humorous product cycle from Apple. We have people so conflicted. They are selling their iPhone 6S or iPad Pro 12.9 to have the latest and "greatest." It makes it painfully obvious who is buying for their need/want or for show.

Or......... (wait for it)
Nobody could have known the iPad Pro was going to come in a MUCH more sensical size a few months later & all the rumors had the SE pegged as an underpowered device, like the 5C.
And now that we find the two highest end devices are available in more comfortable sizes, those that begrudgingly took the hit of owning a device a bit too large for them, to enjoy the performance and features can actually have BOTH!

But do please keep assuming you know the mind of others & finding there decisions "humorous", if that false sense of superiority comforts you so much.

"Literally nobody is that dumb" yet I have the false sense of superiority? Please, sir, madam, kindly take a hike.

This site is full of people buying stuff they don't really need or even want in some cases because they feel obligated to own Apple's latest.

It's your story...
I'll let you tell it! =P

As far as the "take a hike" comment- I didn't report you, because I'm not that petty. But I'm 100% sure that's considered bullying & is a bannable offense. Were I you, I'd be cautious in the future about that type of language.

HD - not a concern, it's a phone with a high ppi display, not a movie watching device
Dual domain pixels - I've never had a problem with wide view angles on the 5S, not missing this feature
Display zoom - a crutch made to allow giant phone screens to be used by people, not necessary on properly sized phone.
Reachability - a crutch made to allow giant phone screens to be used by people, not necessary on properly sized phone.
Touch ID 2 - the first gen sensor was totally fine for me for years, and continues to be.
5 MP photos - You mean, no selfies at 5MP. I don;t take that many selfies, and the extra CCD resolution is not really beneficial during FaceTime since bandwidth is your limiting factor usually.

"Is this an upgrade?" - from the 5S, most definitely.

Trigger warning. Your micro aggression and threat is invading my safe space.

I believe your, "It's your story... I'll let you tell it!" comment is equally aggressive and bullying. Following it up with =P doesn't negate the tone or make it ok.

Thank you for the heads up!

I have difficulty seeing it, but am fully willing to concede the possibility.
I will amend my tone in the future. Apologies for any discomfort. Thx for posting.

It's the latest, most powerful iPhone ever. Just get over it - it won't be in six months.

Most iPhone owners have stuck with a smaller screen, and they have also shown that they don't need to have the most powerful model. So the SE will probably stay as it is for two years and I bet that's what most people want. So Apple couldn't very well call it by a number. Numbers just aren't that important to its market.
 
It is better because its way newer. The latest model is always the best. I cant believe some people are still using a outdated 6s. Drink the Kool Aid!!!!

I don't care if its the latest model, I'm only bothered by the fact that people think the iPhone SE is the 2016 model iPhone and spreading misinformation around. I plan to keep my 6s for almost 3 years, and I won't care that it is not the latest and greatest model.

Do you have any idea how pathetic both of you sound?

You definitely sound so insecure.

Insecurity is losing an argument in another thread to multiple people telling you you're wrong. And then one minute later clicking on my posting history to comment on an unrelated issue adding nothing to the topic of discussion.

No HD - 720p is still HD

No 3d Touch - pointless feature

No Dual domain pixels for wide viewing angles - why would I be viewing my phone's screen at a wide viewing angle?

No Display Zoom - littlebrother cydia tweak

No Reachability - not needed on a 4" phone and so many extra taps on a 6/6s

No Second generation fingerprint sensor - 2nd gen is too fast to even view your lockscreen, 1st gen is better

No 5 megapixel photos - what?
 
[MOD NOTE]
Not much more is being discussed, other then bickering. Time to close this thread.
