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.

    I'm not a fan of apple, I just read this article to see if Iphone SE specs are good because I'm planning to buy a phone, I am confuse if I will buy Samsung S6, LG G5 or Iphone SE however as I read the comments here it looks like you guys are fighting of which phones are better, samsung or iphone. LOL

      plus, a battery can still be replaced in iphones anyway.
      ios is fine theres nothing wrong with it.
      ur comment is a typical fanboy comment. if iphones are so bad, they wudnt sell by the bucketload and android fanboys woudnt waste their times commenting about iphones.

          android fanboys are sad and very pathetic.
          i come on this website to inform me of new products and then i decide to read through the comments and i always notice the same pattern, every article related to apple is filled with android fanboys pathetic negative comments!

          Get a life! do something interesting in your spare time and find a hobby for gods sake!
          wasting your time writing negative commenting on things you dont own!
          nobody cares if these android fanboys hate apple with a passion! u just end up showing ur own immaturity so grow up and stop ridiculing yourselves by ridiculing products you dont own. its just sad and petty to see these android fanboys going anti crazy on products unrelated to them!
          these fanboys do feel the need to attack apple. i get it, people can show hate to someone or something which is successful. byt it shows ur sadness

            All of them were lagy, freezing. ALL ! I have friends who have Samsung too. Most of them are complaining about these issues too.
            Tired of this shit, I bought an Iphone 6S. Yes,yes, it's an expensive crap.
            I know that BUT I didn't ever have any problem with it. No lag, no freezing...nothing and i am using the same apps as with Samsung. I have Iphone 6s since 4 months ago.

            So, don't come to me that Samsung is a better because it's NOT.

                        I stopped buying iphones because the value isn't there. You're getting a phone that's stripped of a lot of technology that's been available for years:

                        - No wireless charging
                        - No microSD slot
                        - No NFC connectivity (only Applepay)
                        - No OIS
                        - No IR
                        - No FM
                        - No dual SIM model
                        - Not waterproof/dustproof
                        - No wifi direct
                        - No model with replaceable battery

                        Add that to the serious quality issues with IOS 9 and it's just not a good value proposition.

                            Anonymous, 11 Apr 2016Foolish comment. Stop talking about Jailbreak or rooting. N... moreSo if someone roots or jailbreaks their phone they aren't normal? In what way aren't they normal?

                            I guarantee you that if Apple sold a version of IOS allowing the keyboards, themes, fonts and all the other features that jailbreaking allows alongside their standard version that the majority of people would choose the version you could customize. In China the biggest knock on the iphone is Apple's character keyboard sucks and people use commercial jailbreak services for the sole reason of allowing the installation of 3rd party keyboards.

                            FYI - There are a few manufacturers of Android phones who provide the ROM unlockers and source code for building custom ROMs.

                                    Wow, pocket racer, impressive. But we knew its great, just nice to have the numbers and know the fandroids are hurting so badly and will not even have time to recover before they get a new beating from iPhone 7. This is hilarious, haters are really getting their dose of teethgrinding despair now.

                                    About disadvantages, im happy it doesnt have 3D touch. Also, the 5s design is perfect, exactly what WE asked for, WE being the users if iPhone 5s and SE, of course Apple want us to be happy about the SE, not everyone else, and we got exactly what we wanted. The thing is perfect, simple as that.

                                        Apple thinks everybody's stupid. This is the laziest company, which claims to be the Master of innovations. They're trying to sell a design that is 3 years old, and actually expects us, who loves our iPhones to get this piece of cr@p. What an indignity, shame on you!
