iPhone SE

>iphone for poors
because there are already phones for poor people

Only reason to buy it is if you absolutely want iOS.
iOS is a terrible OS so no one actually wants iOS.

what does that even mean.

>>56587825
all apps are as fast as they are on 5s
it sucks when compared to anything 5s+ at anyhing like camera, app launch speed, speedtest.net
this is the biggest ruse i've seen that apple has done so for.

>>56587803
If you want a small iPhone but have T-Mobile the SE has band 12

>>56587765
yeah it's a good phone, op

I like it, looks like my 4S but can actually run iOS9 or 10 without being slow as shit

At least until the SE2 releases. :^)

I was going to get it as my first Apple device.

It was £359 and they offered gratis headphones gift for students, some Powerbeats2.

Decided to wait till 7 comes out as I knew the prices would change and, logically, old phones' will decrease.

Now it's £379 and the student offer is gone. Apple can fuck off, let them milk their iSheep...

Nobody wants bootloops

If I had slightly smaller hands I'd get one. I loved my 5 and 5S.

I think it's a good idea to keep a bit of consistency in the product line-up. Like >>56588482 says it's basically same shit, new model, which a lot of people like.

>>56588741
Some US site has them for $200
If they were $200 where I live I'd get one right away

>>56587803
5s was voted by the public as the sexiest model so they brought it back. I wish any other smartphone company would bring back their 4 inch screen but they won't listen to their consumers.

Also there's an app if you want a file manger called iFile (pls let that meme die)

Retail cuck here, we sell fucktons more SEs than any other iPhone.

I would buy an android with the same build quality and same size.
Sony almost had it with the Zc serie.

Until then, iPhone SE it is

I have one, would not recommend.
Don't get me wrong, it's usable, but iOS quirks are just fucking intolerable sometimes.
Some soft that is absolutely awesome on Android (swype keyboard) is just horrible on it.
And yeah, you can't sync with linux.

On the flip side, it's encrypted out of the box. And it's small. That's it for advantages.

>>56588802
Right, what the fuck is wrong with LG. Got up one morning to find my G4 rebooting constantly, turns out it's a known issue and they don't cover it.

>>shit battery life most of the time on Smasung and other android phones
Okay that doesn't mean all Android phones have shit battery life.

>>the version of android which comes on most phones is usually a butchered abomination of it with bloatware and a lot of other pointless shit
Which can literally be removed/disabled in less than 5 minutes with a 1 time clean up

>>some of them don't have a microsd slot
Those are irrelevant and few people buy them

>>the new exploding Samsung phone sold at the cheap, cheap price of $1000
Yeah samsung fucked up pretty badly but iPhones invented the whole "bursting into flames" fad.

>>Shitty camera unless you pay a premium for the phone
Nope, a ton of Android phones have amazing cameras that don't cost you an arm and a leg (ie Axon 7).

>I hate fanboyism as much as the next guy, but if you don't admit that android has a ton of its own flaws then you have your head stuck too far up your ass.

>>56590365

1. you can remove any back doors by modifying the source code or by using a community made version
2. Most android phone alow you to swap the battery with out voiding worenty and in some cases you can get a 3rd party battery with more juice
3. Look at point 1
4.yes SOME you fucking retard if an android phone doesn't have a microsd slot you can look for another we have choice when it comes to are phones hardware
5.this what happens when you stick a lot of power In a small area but this was one type of android phone plus Samsung replaced your phone for free
6. Go to point 4 side note if you want premium hardware you will have to pay a price wither that be money or hardware

I have a 64GB space gray SE. It's jailbroken on iOS 9.3.3. Hardware is great. It's light, feels good in the hand, amazing battery life for a phone that size and the A9 is incredibly fast but...

Stock iOS is utter dog shit. It's 2016 and iOS has no file explorer. Fucking Windows 95 has this. There's no excuse. Still no themes and still no easy file transfer, even to the user partition. You need to use iTunes to add music. If iOS 10 isn't jailbroken in 3-5 months I'll switch back to Android on my Nexus until it is, because I don't want to stay on outdated firmware forever. It's a great phone, software is just horse shit without access to your system partition. This is where Apple fucks up and turns away potential customers. I would gladly pay $100 a year for a dev account if that meant I could download and flash stock firmwares without KPP and all that shit so I could easily get a userland jailbreak withing a week of an update. It would also be nice if I could update without the jailbroken phone bootlooping. I don't think I'm asking for a lot.

Is there an android equivalent under $200? The same size would be great.

I'm seeing there's only a few SE's getting fucked but some says its already been fixed by now

What's the best way for me to get a 6s? New 2 year contract is fine, Target has a 64gb for $99, is that as good of a deal as I'm gonna find or should I wait and try and scoop one up after the 7 launches and they're trying to liquidate?

I installed the 10 GM a few days ago. No issues, works great.

No reason to be jailbroken these days imo. Got ipastore.me so any app I want free including stuff like Flux and Moviebox, without having to deal with jailbreak shit.

After update to iOS10, the notes app was crashing. I noticed the app crashes as soon as it tries to make connection to cloud. The app works normal if I open the Notes app in Airplane mode

Did anyone experience this issue or know how to resolve this?

OK a close friend is stuck after installing her iOS 10 update on her iPhone 6s. She can't open the message App at all now. Suggestions?

iPhone 6S Plus won't restore and won't update

No matter what!

http://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckjones/2016/06/01/apples-iphone-se-still-seeing-strong-demand-after-two-months

too bad Apple isn't doing actual flagship iPhones in 4".
now that iOS 10 is forcing 3D Touch to be more than a gimmick by decreasing the usability when you don't have it. so, it's really annoying that the iPhone SE doesn't have it compared to the iPhone 6s. then there's the iPhone 7, which beats the iPhone 6s everywhere but audio jack and home button.

there are no usable custom roms for nougat and even the best custom roms like Cyanogenmod are still shit:
>CyanogenMod is a testing ground for new features and is perpetually broken in all kinds of new and exciting ways. It lacks a focus on security and AOSP has much better code review and higher standards for code quality. Support for devices outside of the Nexus line tends to be quite broken with no guarantees of continued support and the lack of monthly security updates from the vendors is a dealbreaker due to device specific proprietary components. The drastic changes and broad device support in CyanogenMod also hold back new version upgrades for months.

Nexus line never really compared to iPhones. For the latest see Nexus 5X, for which Google only managed to fix the lag 6 months after release:

g was right

My SE Is just as fast as it ever was. Did you delta, iTunes, or do you just have a corrupted restore?

The only phone max out mahattan 3.1 after refresh rate

I am really glad they're offering the SE
At some point here I'm going to need to retire my iphone 5 and the SE is going to be the perfect replacement, same size newer hardware.

Its my last vestige in a market of stupidly large smartphones. Also iOS really isn't that bad, the only reason I would use a file browser is if I had an SD card to manage, but thats not an option so its really not a big deal. Its easy enough getting files onto and off of my iphone using copy trans

>>56600715
>new software doesn't bring any new features that justify the massive performance hog

Hmm, really makes you think

I think iphones (the big ones) look amazing but I just can't deal with ios restrictions. It's far too gimped next to android. I think it's the perfect system if you're just your average person who takes photos of their food to post online but it's simply the wrong device for anyone above that. Just the fact you can't do something as simple as ctrl+c ctrl+ving a file on the thing straight away is already a major turn off. I don't like having to go through shitty obstacles and proprietary cockblocks to use that device whose sole purpose is to make my life easier and be as convenient as possible. It's counter-productive.

>>56601768
I never quite understand what people like you exactly do on their phones. I get stuff like "managing files", but it's just nothing I really want to do on my phone. It's like you want to live in the past.

is it worth getting this phone now that ios 10 is so 3d-touch heavy?

if it was released before i got the 6s plus, i probably would have hopped on that.

only problem i had with the 4s was browsing the web. screen really is too small for that shit. apps were fine though.

>>56601806

That's because you don't know any better. You're just like the guy who has a Windows Phone and thinks it's perfectly fine because he's never had anything else. Like the very smartphone itself, you don't miss them until you get to try them.

But yeah, I totally want to live in the past because I have more features and customizability than you on my device in a tech enthusiast board. That makes for some grade A piece of purchase rationalization on your behalf.

>>56601813
It really depends on the update cycle Apple is choosing for the SE branch of iPhones. My guess is that they will probably do a two year cycle, but they also might want to do a 1-year-cycle. If latter is the case, then you could wait until march or so, but that's up to you.

Overall i wouldn't say the 3d touch features are really a game changer. They are nice short cuts and you get used to it quickly (kind of a muscle memory thing), but it's nothing that is incredibly important.

>>56601891

Just responding to your "you want to live in the past" shitpost.

I have Z3 and it's rooted. I disabled systeam features I don't want and I block ads on the entire device while you're force to deal with them, which to me is more than enough reason to ditch ios altogether. I can download apps right off my browser and install them without having to deal with itunes or some other proprietary cockblock. I don't even have to use the play store if I want, since I have f-droid and, again, the ability to instal apps from my browser, sd card or anywhere else. I don't have to jailbreak my device like apple users have to (and that's IF they are able to) and I can install pirated apps simply by allowing unknown sources with a single tap on my device's settings. I can ctrl+c ctrl+v files straight to and from my device, which I do so by simply SSHing into it and, again, I don't need iTunes for any of these. With Xposed I can install custom modules which do pretty much anything you could possibly come up with, including overhauling the look of my device with whatever I want. I can choose between launchers. I can downgrade my device if I actually want to, something iOS users simply don't have to the option to unless you're jailbroken and have backed your SHSH blobs up. I can install Restore and try out any custom rom I feel like. And that's just off the top of my head. So basically, it does everything that ios does and much more, so that makes it a complete no-brainer to use an android phone instead of an iphone. Why would I willingly restrict myself for no reason while paying more for said restriction since iphones are usually more expensive? Seem completely counter-productive.

I went ios -> windows phone -> android myself and I had to rank them it would be:

Android >>> iOS >>> boiling dish of diarrhea >>> Windows Phone. I still use an ipad myself because it has god tier battery life and I just use it for casual browsing and book reading.

>>56602169
Buy a $20 chinkphone. They'll do everything iPhones do. The shit CPU will even trick you into thinking the device includes the default iOS transition animations.

>>56602169

And there is that completely predictable purchase rationalization back again. Whether you care about them or not it's completely irrelevant, a plus is still a plus. Notice how I could simply use my device as a "phone" just like you do except I actually get to have the option to do so much more? That renders your point flat. And you have a smartphone, not just a phone. Go buy an old nokia if a phone is all you need.

>>56602211
>They'll do everything iPhones do.
Call me a faggot, stupid or whatever you like, you don't need to understand it and I don't expect you to, but I just like how the iPhone looks and feels. I'm still using my four year old iPhone 5, and I just like how it looks and how it aged.

Plus, you can't buy chinkphones for 20 bucks around here. The cheapest that's usable at all around here is something like 100 bucks, but those usually have horrible cameras and displays, so no thanks.

>>56602169

Oh and another thing. I can actually multitask on my phone as well since it's not RAM starved like every iphone from the 6 downwards. My Z3 can easily hold 10 apps open in the background without reloading.

>>56602240
Okay Sigmund, I know it's very important to you to have hypothetical advantages, but I still don't give a shit. You apparently have some deep ideological expectations of what your devices should do which I don't have. I don't care about SSHing onto my device and having full control, I don't care about piracy on a phone as I don't buy any apps anyway, I don't care about proprietary software and I don't really care about ads in a few apps.

Again, who the fuck cares about what you care? I'm listing objective advantages as requested and they still remain whether you acknowledge them or not. I don't care about many things in the world, that suddenly doesn't devalue them in the slightest, only to me personally. You somehow think that not caring about things make them irrelevant, which is some serious case of egocentrism like I've never seen before. You're just grasping for a counter-argument and failing miserably to come up with something meaningful to say.

No idea.
If I bought an iphone I'd get this one

>last good iphone design
>eats less battery
>not so overpriced
>headphone jack

iphone 6 and 7 are absolutely horrible, I've moved to HTC and never looked back. Apple died with Jobs, no it's just bunch of tumblerina faggots without a clue about design or functionality.

so you do agree that there are no usable nougat roms.

except it's google themselves which proclaimed after 6 months that they fixed the lag for the Nexus 5X.

anyway why did you switch if it worked for you?

there will never be an iPhone 8.
Apple will prolly come up with something special for the 10 year anniversary next year and break the past release naming from there on on.

also iOS 10 still runs fine on the iPhone 5.
