iPhone SE (2016) Upgrade to SE from 6?

The best way I can describe this home button: it’s like pressing upwards with your fingers against an immovable button being held in place by your thumb. It’s a squeezing motion done by the whole hand - not just a press downwards with one digit.

I liked the home button better at first but now after using the SE I went and picked up the 6s again and I definitely prefer the “sensor button” of the SE. I find that I don’t activate Siri accidentally as much when when I’m unlocking my phone with the sensor.
I don’t know why or if it even makes sense but that’s been my experience. The sensor was weird at first though and did take a few days to get used to though.

I can’t say I noticed much of a difference. I think I left it on 2.

It does the job, but I do miss the physical button. When using my iPad mini, the physical button is just so much more tactile. But I guess I’ll adapt. I’ll have to.

Less moving parts, less prone to failure.

I wasn't aware that the home button was prone to failure. Learn something new every day.

I would still be supremely jealous of anyone making the quantum leap of 6 to SE2.

from one book end of the design to the other. Closure, and relative perfection.

if you skeptically approach it as 'relatively' the same, think of it as you've restarted the cycle of 'planned obsolescence'

years and years of support in a device on the latest processor.

Might want to try setting it to 3 for a while and see if it helps at all

The haptic home button is fused together with the taptic engine, which provides the Nuanced tactile feedback from the motor. The only reason it exists is for the water resistance level, but it also provides a much Quicker response time V.s. having to use the ‘push style button‘ that was spring loaded with the previous home button.
