Most of the tech of a 6s but the size of a 5s.
yeah. Ive missed my 5S for the last few months.
My 4 lasted all the way to the 5S, and only a freak accident caused me to stop using it.
Funny, but I dont think I own any shirts with pockets.
Unless you're flush with cash, why not just get a 5s again? They're available for $100-$150 depending on condition. Use it for a year or two, then buy another if it's not working for you. Or get an SE or whatever its replacement is at that point.

I think the SE is a nice phone. I was going to get one earlier this month but I had a lot of credit card bonus points that helped pay for a 7.
Kind of glad. Larger screen, etc. That said, as a budget phone it gives you a lot of bang for your buck. The

Got the SE.
I still cant wrap my head around buying a slow 5S for $150, then use it for a year, then buy another one for $150 and use it for a year, etc.
$13 a month for essentially a 6S, and it should last for years and years. I can always pay off early, or trade in, but no real downside. Well, $30 in tax I guess?
I swtiched us to DirecTV last year, about a month before the 7 came out. If you already have ATT and get directTV = free iPhone 7. Bummer. Did get $400 in gift cards... but not an iPhone 7 =)
thanks all/

I have the 64GB SE and love it. I had a 5, then a 5s, and held out for the similar form factor. The other phones are just too big and bulky.
The camera is really nice, and the processor is super snappy.

I had the same thing happen to my 5s.
battery swelled, then the screen stopped working after I replaced the battery. can't decide if I should try a new screen and trade/sell it, or just give up on it.

I bought the screen for $20, but its more complicated than just snapping a new screen on. Had to remove the camera, metal shielding and home button and reinstall on the new screen.
Screen comes on, shows the apple logo, then turns off, then does it again 10 seconds later. then again. and again. Original screen was showing a whole row of dead pixesl on the bottom 1/4" so thats why I reaplaced mine.
Im wondering if the battery is bad. The phone works perfect, only been hit once years and years ago.
that said. $13 a month was an easy pill to swallow.
