Apple iPhone SE review: Reminiscence

08 April, 2016
Apple didn't come up with a new design for the smaller iPhone SE. Instead, they’ve reused the old iPhone 5s with new internals. It’s an odd move, which we witness for the first time – it’s like reusing the same looks of a phone model third generation in a row. And that from the company, that practically invented the two-year phone redesign cycle.

    Anonymous, 14 Apr 2016Of course I called you narrow minded bwcause from your comm... morewhat do u mean by 'showed us all' ??????

    are you representing an army of android fanboys?
    And why do you carry alot of hate for a phone company? its sad! its easy to figure uv been replying to alot of peoples comments on here trying to put them down if they mention anything positive about iphone!

    I know its a fact iphones are assembled in china... i did mention that and u just repeated what i said. my point was does it matter where its assembled???
    i also pointed out that samsung phones are also assembled in china. does it matter where they are assembled? u just showed ur narrow mindedness to your army of droidfanboys. a product doesnt become inferior to others just by the country it was assembled in.
    and do you even have a social life? or do u just sit on ur computer spitting out hatred towards a phone company? about products u dont even own?how sad!

      Fact: iphones are assembled in China. Look at the back of the box.

      The reason ios is on the current 9.x version is because of the sirious bugs the bricked or disabled the phones.

      Got Google?

      Use it.

        Woopwoop855, 12 Apr 2016OK so you've been a Samsung user for years and only just sw... moreI did that because I thought Iphone is just an expensive shit and I also thought that Samsung will improve their devices...Yes, it was a mistake and that's it.
        YES, Iphone is VERY expensive like Samsung is too.

        I am not a troll or an Iphone fan. I really don't care who has a better hardware.I do care that I am not force to restart the phone 2-3 times per day because of ...freezing

        I am just a user who is sharing his experience. For me, Iphone is much, much better than any Samsung I had(including S6). You can say whatever you want, I don't care.

          does it matter where the facility is located to make the phones?
          did you know samsung phones are also made in china??
          as well as vietnam, indonesia, india and brazil. with vietnam being the largest plant!

          also did u know with apples latest ios 9.3, there were some bugs but they were NOT major bugs like u mention. also, apple already fixed these bugs with a quickly released update way before u had even started typing your message.
          make sure u know what you are talking about as your not well informed either. back in your face.
          ios may lack features which are available in android but they are not life changing features. alot of people dont care about changing the colour of their keyboard or changing fonts as these customisations are optional and not necessary. i own a jailbroken iphone and i can customise my iphone in many more ways if i want to.

                                  The point is that iphone models offer NONE of them and yet Apple charges a premium for their phones.

                                  Iphones represent poor value and that's why I stopped buying them.

                                    As far as optional, with certain brand's flagships you get just about everything on the list at a lower price (Sony Z5 or LG G5 as just a couple examples).

                                    Your comment shows a very narrow minded view of the world and how people use their phones. Case in point is FM radio. In many parts of the world FM is about the only way to get reliable information because data, network coverage, or both, is spotty (again only mentioning music and omitting news demonstrates your narrow minded view). Having a spare battery also important to some people who are out in areas where charging is not an option.

                                    Fanboy. Ha. Hope you were looking in the mirror when you said that. If the information in the comment I replied to had been factual concerning the test that the iphone had won I wouldn't have commented at all. But it makes sense you'd say that since you can't address the fact that the iphone is feature poor and represents poor value for the money, with iOS being the worst OS in the market right now considering the number and types of bugs that Apple has had with 9.x. You can say Android has bugs too and I'd agree. But the Android manufacturers provide more value for the money. Apple does a great job with marketing and make people believe the iphone is worth the silly premium price they charge. Once upon a time it was, but those days are long behind it.

                                    If it makes me a fanboy for pointing all this out, so be it. Regardless, I no longer buy iphones because of the lack of features and the out of line pricing for a Chinese made phone.
