I've decided to put aside my cheap HTC Desire Android phone for an iPhone. I've not been interested in paying hundreds for a smart phone previously, but in my current job I was given an iPhone 6S and I love it. The touchscreen is so much smoother than my HTC and not nearly as laggy. I also like the camera much better on the iPhone, which is important as I taker most of my pictures on cell phone nowadays, and dislike the poor low light quality of pics from my HTC.
I currently have a plan with Virgin Mobile and like them because it's one of the few carriers that has a decent signal at our house (since we are landline free). I am interested that they recently became an all iPhone carrier and currently offer the 1st year of the unlimited plan for $1.
So my dilemma is between the iPhone SE for $279 or the iPhone for $319 (The 6S is $550 which is well above my budget, unfortunately).
Pros of the SE: Faster processor, more RAM Like iPhone 6S) and better camera, which is important. I figure it will last a bit longer before coming obsolete than the iPhone 6 with the better CPU/ RAM, and I would to get a couple of years out of it before upgrading.
The con I see id the size. Not crazy about going from a 5" screen on my HTC to 4" on the SE. The 4.7" odf th iPhone 6 is just right, but not sure about it since it's slower than SE and the 6S I used for work.
Anyone else compare these two models? Is the performance difference of the phone and camera between iPhone 6 & SE that noticeable? Anyone else go from a larger display to smaller?
