Hi everyone, not sure if there's a similar thread to this. Just wondering a few questions for SE owners.
1) What phone were you using before the SE?
2) Why did you decide to get the SE?
3) Any regrets?

Thank you!

- iPhone 6s
- Lost my 6s at a park and had no insurance so I choose the SE because of the price.
- I miss my 6s but im also loving the SE.

I won my SE from this very website!
Not really a regret, but definitely missing the screen real estate I had on the G3. Other than that, I'm loving this little powerhouse of a device.

1. Was using an iPhone 6s
2. Got SE to save money on monthly installments as well as have a smaller phone. I use my iPad pro 9.7 and MacBook Pro 13 for all productivity tasks, so figured a smaller phone would benefit me well as I might use it more as a PHONE and less of a productivity device.
3. No regrets. I do miss 3d touch for messages and app switching but thats it. I bought Rose Gold (I am a 29 year old male) and have NO REGRETS on the color either :)

1) iPhone 6S for about 8 months and then the J7 for a couple weeks
2) wanted a more budget friendly payment on my phone (I have Jump on demand) but the J7 just didn't have the call quality I was used to on iPhone.
3) none I love this phone and so glad I ended up with it. The size is just so much better suited for my hand size.

6s. Got the SE to tide me over until tomorrow's announcement so I could sell my 6s at a higher price.

I was using an iPhone 6s Plus and tired of its size. I liked the big screen at first but quickly got tired of it.

Ended up switching to the SE because of its price and upgraded internals. Ended up selling the 6s Plus, buying this and keeping some money for myself.

Only regret is sometimes I wish I got the Space Grey, other times I love my Rose Gold choice.

1) Bought the SE for my wife to replace her aging HTC One Mini
2) She refused to get anything bigger than the Mini for pocketability.
3) She's happy, so I'm happy. Helping her with iOS makes me appreciate my Android phone that much more.

iPhone 5s to 6s+, one year later the size is grating on me so have purchased an SE. The 7 was in my hand for a week but I couldn't justify the UK price and the SE performs just as well in my opinion, even the camera is similar. Also the 7 is still a touch too big. Hoping I stick with SE as the ?400 price tag is easy to live with.

Now I've got to sell my 6s+ and hopefully I get a decent return. May have waited too long.....?

1. Samsung Galaxy S7
2. Lost the Galaxy. Stumbled across an Apple store. Liked the compact size
3. No I actually really love it!

You might lose some value but not too much.

I was using the iPhone 6 but it died with 8 months of my 2 year contract left. I bought a 64Gb SE directly from Apple to replace it. The SE is a fantastic phone and the battery life is excellent!

I had an iPhone 6s before, used for 6 months and my son wanted it so I went back to Android with a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. Now I'm using my brand new 64Gb Space Gray SE and I'm fascinated with its performance, great battery life and small size. My concern was the smaller screen against my big hands, but realized that I can type even faster with the default keyboard.

I came from an s7 edge, always had an android since the T-Mobile G1 but got sick and tired of having to reset every one of them after about 6 months because they all got so slow.

I've often heard that this never really happens with apples phones so I took the plunge and got myself a SE spaghetti gray about a month ago, thought at the start that it was far too small but now I absolutely love it, perfect for one hand use

Although I wish there was a clear cache option like on Android as some of the apps (Spotify and Google Plus I'm looking at you!) can get absolutely huge and there appears to be no way of fixing it apart from deleting and reinstalling the app itself

I was using a space gray 128GB 6s.

I preferred the size.

Nope! I wish I had 128GB, but I am managing the space well.

I'm not using one, but my boyfriend got a 16GB space gray SE in August. Before that, he was using a 16GB silver iPhone 5s. He got the SE because his 5s' screen died. I think a dog at his workplace peed on it, LMAO (he's a vet technician)!
