Well my phone is finally dead. Anything wrong with an iPhone SE? - jdc - 02-13-2017
Had an iPhone 5 with a bad battery replaced it ran OK but then the screen started gone wonky. Replace the screen but no help, it's still won't work -- so brand-new screen and brand-new battery but no phone.
I don't really use it anything except for phone and messaging no games and or photos or email (too much email so I can't have it on my phone)
Been using an iPhone 6 for the past month or two it's OK I don't really care about the larger screen all that much it's easier to read the forum on -- but not that big of a deal.
So any caveats with the SE? I think I can buy the 64 FB on eBay for $400, I probably only need the 16.
$13 a month for 30 months and I can get it right now...

I bought one last summer. Works just fine. But then it is similar to my iPhone 5 and I also bought it because of the smaller size and my propensity to break phones not in a heavy duty case. It and its case fit nicely in my shirt pocket.

If you are only using it as a phone... why spend $400?
Get something basic or an older iPhone for $100.

Alternately, I've seen Groupon offers for ~$250 iP6's.

I know some people who have an SE and are very happy with it.

Well, I dont want it completely unusable, I do some other things with it -- and I would like to to last.
Getting a $100 phone now = getting another $100 phone a year from now... and so on and so on.

I want a 7. I tell myself it would be for the larger screen, but I know I want it new and shiny. And that touchy forcy thingie...
Otherwise, my 5S is fine. SE is better and has a modern processor.
I'll support your decision as long as you are sincere about not wanting a nicer model.

FWIW, the iP6s also has that touchy-forcy thingie...

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.
