Poll: ** iPhone SE thread **

How is the fingerprint reader? Apple website says the SE uses the old slower reader.

Compared it with a colleagues 6S today and no difference.

Get it in pink !

Guess I have no choice, pink it is...!


Nah, maybe if it had a black front
A silver/black edition with a silver ring around the touch id would have been nice.

Found a video showing the speed of touch id:

Heh, seems ours has a fault. The screen stops responding randomly. Booked in for a look on Monday.

I do wonder how many consumers who buy this phone having previously had a larger screen e.g. 4.7" or 5.2" etc. will decide a few weeks down the line they just can't adapt to using a 4" screen again?

I think there may be many in this position and wishing they had kept their larger phones. I could be wrong of course but only time will tell.

Not as many as you think. One hand operation is the key point here which is impossible with a 6/6S without shuffling the phone down your palm a little, unless you're a basketball player or something

i think it'll also bring over some gopro users as well with its size, resolution and fps. a rugged waterproof case for the SE means i won't be needing that gopro hero 3 or 4 anytime soon.

 

[loltim]

Absolutely. I went for this case http://www.spigen.co.uk/cell-phone/...iphone-se-case-ultra-hybrid.html#.Vv-_maQrLIU
(crystal clear)

adds a bit of bulk but I feel confident that if I dropped it it'd be OK. It was on offer on amazon for £3.99.

wife got one to replace a 5c,

very happy with it and she says its far better than her old one.

compared side by side with an old 5s I had and its identical.

 

[Deo_volente]

Talking of cases, has anyone used a rugged case with built in screen protector over a long period of time, particularly on a 5/5s as they are so similar to the se. If so how did you find it? I'm gonna need one if i get one of these, particularly with some waterproofing. I keep reading the reviews on amazon, most of which are usualy good but there is always that one guy "Wah, had this case 3 days and now my screen cracked"etc etc.

You still have to be able to read the text on screen. Web pages such as 'forums' can be really difficult to read on phone screens - well at least I find many of them are, though not all.

TBH I can't use any phone one handed or type with my thumbs - probably the monkey in me.

I find the case-mate cases to be very good, especially the ones with the tough outer case and silicon inner. Bit more expensive but they do last and more importantly keep the phone safe - £20+ pounds.

I was thinking more like 4.3" without increasing the size of the phone, touch ID on the back:

They'll never do that after fighting countless legal battles to protect their bezel space.

 

[loltim]

I would miss the hardware button tbh.

How are you finding battery life chaps?

Would a monthly allowance of 750mb of data be adequate for an iPhone?

Im not a heavy data user when out and about and have never had a problem with this this data cap on my samsung s3.

Just wondering if the iPhone is a big data eater in its default state?

Thanks

750 megs? If you don't go over that now you should be fine but thats a very low amount of inclusive data?

 

[beachBOYken]

Hi

Well I only have a sim only monthly plan that costs around £13.

I've had a look around for better but from what I've seen it's about he same at that price.

I'm with EE.

You're being robbed. I've just upgraded mine with EE. Sim only £16.49 with unlimited mins and texts and 16gb data.

I guess I am

Is that a deal you got over the phone or is that a package available on there site?

Thanks

 

[beachBOYken]

Found them deals, but why does less data cost more?

For instance the 8gb of data is £25.49
