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.

          This is a great phone. Iphome 5s still very very popular and now they made it blazing fast
          But first of all,its a premium,one handed device. Beeing the fastest phone out there with a very good camera is just a bonus

When you recor... moreits 4" screen man, even if you use ultra hd resolution you won't notice the difference, the screen is small enough, unless you look at the screen using magnifying glass. you never seen iphone 5 screen huh. you can also watch your recorded HD videos on other media, like your laptop or tv. its that simple lol

              AnonD-1825, 10 Apr 2016That was funny to read :) what planet you are living?I stopped reading after you said: "realized that high prices are not sustainable".

              Quite the contrary.
              Becuase of their higher prices, they are now the most valueable company in the world.
              Tell me what's so unsistainable about that.

                              What's the use of the camera if you cannot even view 720p videos on such screen?

Your sis can't play Temple Run on her iPhone while there are lots of others who can. Is that iPhone OS issue? Sadly no. On the other hand, it is fact that iOS can handle games easily on a 2GB of ram along with other apps while Android require "the more hardware the better" way.

                                Also, don't get even compare them with the Lumia 950. Windows phone is total thrash. Almost every app will result in Resuming and Reloading nonsense.

I think instant update with ios is a bad thing, cos the phone becomes slower with the updates. Currently running on ios 7, which I think is tbe best ios version for iphone 5, and it runs verryy smooth, unlike iphone 5 with ios 9.

                                      Benchmark tests show that the IPhone SE is the fastest phone on the market.

                                        I ditched my iPhone 6s and got the SE, very happy with it, only wish they came out with a 128 gb version. Force touch is useless and made the iPhone 6s heavier and have less battery capacity compared to the 6. The SE is super quick and you don't even notice that it's in your pocket..
