iPhone SE

[Dave]

Apple have never been in the habit of targeting anything other than upper market.

It's not badly priced when comparing sim free prices in the UK.

16GB 6s £539
16GB SE £359

So by a guesstimate, the SE costs around 2/3rds of the 6s price.

So basically the iphone SE is practically an iphone 6s in a smaller size. So like an iphone 6s Mini, except its only a mini in terms of its 4" size, and not its internals. Thats crazy imo.

I would say the batter is ok, not good. Really expected it to last longer considering the smaller screen.

Phone 5s, 4-inch, 1,136-by-640
iPhone 6s, 4.7-inch 1,334-by-750
Samsung S7, 5.1-inch, 2,560-by-1,440

Along with the smaller screen comes a smaller battery... That it outperforms the iPhone 5S by that margin is impressive.

It's just the screen size. There isn't much between the SE and the 6S battery.

iPhone SE battery - 1642 mAh
iPhone 5S batttery - 1560 mAh
iPhone 6S batttery - 1715 mAh

Huge size difference vs the 6s Plus as to be expected...

I'm keen. Might just get a normal 6 instead as I don't mind the extra size and pricing is good at the moment

Pricing is good? I'm hoping it's going to drop lower on the 7th when Vodacom release their new deals.

R380 per month on Vodacom. That's decent to me

Where did you see that?

I seem to recall it was on the deal sheet. On a Smart S

Does anyone know when the SE will be available in SA? All i've heard is May, but that sounds like a guess.

The 6s 64gb is around R650pm on Vodacom... which in my opinion is way too much when compared with the 6, which is R460 or something. Hoping it drops a bit when they release their new deals.

It does seem like a guess at this stage. Hoping we find out soon! I got a 5S over the weekend that I plan on using until it's released

The 6 is R379 per month for the 16GB. Will post a screenshot of it in a bit. Totally agree though, the price difference isn't worth it - I've had both previously

Thanks for the screenshot... i just worry with 16gb as my phone is always running out of memory already (on the iphone 5 16gb)... so silly that they don't have one inbetween 16gb and 64gb...

I think I have 8GB free on my current phone . I don't keep my photos on my phone anymore though - just for a moth or two
