the iPhone 6S...as an active member here in the SE forum of late, this is hypocritical of me, but whatever. Ended up cancelling my SE pre-order as I got in on a mint used 6S for pretty cheap and decided to go that route. The big pull for me was getting to try 3D touch on a friends' 6S and really kinda digging it. I'm coming from the 5S, so the size will take some getting used to, but I'm sure I'll adjust. I'll be envious of your SE's! Enjoy!!!

Personally the 6S is the phone for me. I enjoy the look of the SE but the 6S is the size I prefer and the SE, to me, feels like going back in time (despite the upgraded technology inside), lol. I had thought about getting the SE as a backup phone since the price is pretty cheap though.

Enjoy your 6S!

Good for you! It's a great device. I wouldn't trade my 6s Plus for the world. I was worried you were going to say...Samsung!

I was a flat-out complainer when Apple wouldn't make a phone with a screen bigger than 4" and I desperately wanted something like the Plus. I got the Plus
the day it was released and used it for a year. Then the 6S Plus when it was released. Somewhere between then and now, I felt that I needed a smaller phone.
The 6S has been working out great for me the past 3 months and is pretty much on par for me with one-handed use as the 5S was for me. The Plus really felt
like I was carrying around an anvil in my pocket.

Quite on the contrary I've got a 6S in January.... I would have bought an SE if it was released sooner.

Don't get me wrong, the 6S is probably the best smartphone on the market (on par with its bigger sibling, that is too big for me), but I really like compact smartphones.
I have my iPad mini when I need screen estate....

I'm actually thinking about a 5se as a backup phone. One that one of my daughters will eventually inherit.

Good job man. You have to get what works for you!

I have my 6 and 5S and just got the SE all setup and am currently using it now as I type this.

For me, the SE is the best fit for my needs. So far it's super fast and the battery has stayed at 100% for the last 2 hours. We shall see.

If it worked out best for you, then that's all that matters. Enjoy your new iPhone 6S ...

You will adjust easily. I did with the 6. Enjoy it!

Well you have to do what you have to do. If the deal is right, I would have done the same. Just glad to see you didn't leave the iPhone behind for something else. Well enjoy you new found phone!

To me the 6S is the best size of any phone not too big or small and fits in your pockets still .

I've been thinking about getting a 6s but I still like the 5s size even if a larger display is what I want. The SE is tempting though.

I have the 6s but am seriously considering SE mainly for enhanced battery life and I don't think the size would bother me
