SE or 6s plus?

[thadoggfather]

OIS is amazing for pics! Imagine if SE had that

I too am surprised but how split the polls are relatively slightly favoring the phablet

I'd get the 6s plus for the larger screen.

The SE will fit comfortably in your pocket though. Depends whether you want ipad style ease of use or a phone primarily.

Coming from various 5,5 Android smartphones, now I have an IPhone 6 . I've been tempted with SE, because it is a little beast and for its pocketability, but I think that is too small for a satisfying daily use, and that the Plus is not too comfortable to carry around , so I think that the 4,7 form factor is the best. Aesthetically the SE is the best.

Saw this today on Best Buy

Lots of good deals going on right now

Does any one own all 3 sizes?

SE 6s plus and test driving a 7 32gb next weekend

 

[GrandeLatte]

What deals are going on for SE? I'm contemplating trading in my SE for a 5.5 iPhone 7. Please give me some pointers.

As much as I love my SE, lately I've been starting to play online games, and the small screen is killing my eyes.

I need help deciding I'm going to do an early upgrade in August from my LG and I'm torn between the SE and the 6s.

For me, the iPhone SE is the perfect device. I own an iPad Mini (LTE) which I bring with me almost everywhere. I love the combination!

 

[saltd]

The SE/iPad combo is perfect for me as well. It's around the same cost as a 6S plus if you get an IPad mini 16GB

The plus size was killing me so today I bought an SE... The desire for a smaller phone far outweighs any advancements the 7 has for me. I went from a 6s + to SE and love it.

If they can make an edge to edge screen the same size of the SE then one day I'll do that but I'm probably not going bigger again... every time you put on shoes or get in the car or do whatever I had to take my phone out of my pocket. IMO it also didn't feel so great to hold, the SE feels like something special.

curious how this board feels

Board? 2 words just popped into my head "WWIV" and "Wildcat".

Every time I pick up my dad's iPhone 5, it still feels 'right' in a way that almost a year and a half on, my iPhone 6 does not. Add to that several hundred dollars in savings that can be used to fund other upgrades and the choice won't be hard. Hence, I hope I'll be getting an iPhone SE when it's upgraded (hopefully with an A10, OIS camera and wide colour display).

I will never EVER own a phone with less than a 5.5 inch screen ever again

SE 6s plus and test driving a 7 32gb next weekend

I have used all 3 sizes. I used 6S for almost a year till I sold it last month. Got a refurb iPhone 6S Plus 64gb (came with 11 months of warranty and 3 battery cycles) from Bestbuy for $510(-cashback) , used it for 2 weeks before I ended up returning it because it was a bit big for me. I liked the phone though, great battery life and the screen is amazing .

Right now I am using a SE till I get my iPhone 7 and I love it.

So much so that I am thinking of returning the 7(delivering on 16th )and keeping the SE. I love the iPhone 5/5s design and the phone just feels right in my hands. I do like the 4.7inch screen but I am a bit confused.

If it's between 6S Plus and SE, my choice will be SE but if it's between 6S/7 and SE, I will be confused af.

 

[thefredelement]

Not even 24 hours in with the SE and I don't miss the screen size of the 6s+ at all, I missed this size, it's just light and easy and not a PITA.

 

[Mrbobb]

My question is, why do you have both? One for casual outing and another for formal?

 

[thadoggfather]

I'm a phone junkie.

Just sold my 6s plus though.

Down To SE jail broken for now

I'm leaning very heavily towards the SE because I miss the compactness of it! My 5.5 LG is a huge PITA!!!

are you going to give 7/7+ a spin while within return policy?

 

[thefredelement]

I'm not actually. I've really missed this size, it's everything I want in a phone. When I first moved to an iPhone it was in large part because of the 4" size of the iPhone 5 (at the time androids were growing to enormous proportions and my nexus S was pretty slow). I hope they refresh the 4" (edge to edge glass w/new display tech, 'plus' quality camera, 128gb storage) at some point.

It's a relief in a weird way using the SE, it's just so easy to use, it's light, shaped well and fits in my hand well. I don't have to take it out of my pocket whenever I do anything. After using the 6/6s+ for so long it oddly feels like an upgrade in a 'tech should be smaller' type of way.

^ I love my SE as well, at the very least it's staying with me

delighted by how much I like it, really just got it to mess around with iOS 10 beta without sacrificing jailbreak on my 6s+ but turned out to be something I just simply loved period.

especially now jailbroken, its a dream come true/ like a bottle of wine that has had room to breathe (even though I'm a beer guy haha)

 

[DavidLynch]

Neither, I think the 4.7" model is the perfect size!

I have had a 6S (non-plus) for the last year, and 6 before that. I'm planning to either switch to 6S+ or 7S+, so my vote was for 6S+.

The SE is appealing to me, because I loved the smaller form factor and one-handed usability, and begrudgingly came to the 4.7" 6 because I really needed an upgrade (from the 4S; in retrospect I should have bought a used 5S at the time). However, the SE is missing a few things. The most important thing is that it has the slower Touch ID, not the same as the one in the 6S. I found the Touch ID in the 6 to be painfully slow, and the 6S was such a relief, I would not go back. The other things I could live without, but I still don't want to: I like and use 3D Touch (especially that app switching shortcut!). And 3D Touch is becoming more crucial in iOS 10. And I want the largest storage I can get, and 64GB is too small when you're used to 128GB (and I'd get 256GB if I got a 7S+). An updated SE to make it on par with at least the 6S features would be appealing.

Like you, I'm not happy in the middle, and I want to go to one of the extremes. The 4.7" model seems like the worst of both worlds. Too big for easy one-handed use, and too small for two-handed use (e.g. dual-thumb typing). If I'm going to have to do contortions to use it one-handed (which I prefer over Reachability), I might as well have the larger phone. Maybe I'm wrong here, but every time I try someone's 6+/6S+ it doesn't feel that much more difficult to use. Additionally, after I got the 6S I started using my phone much more, because it's an absolute beast power-wise (the 6 was underpowered and laggy in comparison). If I'm using my phone so much, I might as well benefit from a larger screen. The 6S actually feels small to me now. Weird.
