It's a beautiful smartphone. I would definitely consider it if I didn't have an iPhone and I was on a budget.
Funny to me that when there was only a 4" iphone everybody was happy as could be. It was the best thing ever. Now its not worth anything to most folks.
I have been religiously upgrading the iPhone since the first incarnation in 2007. Being such a gadget freak I am, I always wanted the latest and greatest toy. 6 was the first time I paused and faltered. Counting this time, I have returned to the 5s size 3 times.
Apple needed to compete with Androids, and I have no quarrel that they went bigger screens 2 generations ago. I get that. But I also felt that Apple sold their soul to the Android camp, and felt left out. Now Apple realized it and are coming back to take care of our needs. Wonderful.
I use the phone mostly for communication purpose with occasional net surfing or Googling etc, but very little, if any, streaming, game or YouTube etc. For the most efficiency, I carry around a Blackberry Bold 9900 with the iPhone# forwarded to it. Bold is very efficient in checking email, text and occasional phone conversation with pickup/hangup buttons. For seeing attachments, documents, and everything else, iPhone takes care of it. But tith a very capable yet compact iPhone SE, I might finally be able to retire the Blackberry and "go single".
I am never too far away from my laptop and iPad, and a very portable/pocketable mobile handset is all I need. I don't need no giant screen phone. I have an iPad Mini for that.
Thank you Apple for not leaving us behind but picking us up again. iPhone SE is no cheapo. It's a very capable device with a bit smaller screen.
The only thing I miss from 6/6s would be the typing with a bit wider keyboard. With the font size adjusted, I do not see any need or advantage for a larger screen.
Will certainly get the gold iPhoneSE. When i became a mom i switch to a 4.3 inch phone because i find it more convenient to use a small phone while carrying my baby. This special edition of iphone is very timely for my need. Im really going to have this when it's available in my country
Honestly, I wouldn't because I am used to the size of the iPhone 6. Now, when I play with the 4" iPhone display size it seems like a toy in my hand. I'd rather wait for the iPhone 7.
