Author Topic: Jubel got himself an iPhone SE - /blogland/  (Read 2270 times)

After owning a Galaxy Note 2 and 3, I've decided to change my hardware to the apple side of the family.
People will hate me. I actually have legitimate reasons for it. Also some entitled 17 year old reasons.

  • iMessage is great in areas where I have wifi but no cell service (my house). My Note sucks here, and im the only android user in my house.
  • I'm a klutz. Apple support is great and so is applecare. (This is coming from lots of experience from work at home). My service provider has stuff warranties.
  • I only bought my Notes cause they were big for videos at home. I use my TabS tablet for that now.
  • Having a big phone in your pocket sucks stuff. Im always afraid of breaking it.
  • I don't actually utilize Android like most people do. I still use touchwiz because it's fine.
  • My phone is old and runs way too hot/battery drains fast.
  • Touch ID is so loving cool and the one on my phone sucks stuff
  • I think the 4,5, and SE phones look really solid. Can't agree with the 6.

Also I got a mahogany skin for it. That should be cool.


Although I am a bit dissapointed in this but it's better than getting stuck on a loving contract and paying a 0.8% markup on the phone.
(Along with a minimum $90/month plan)




Android lovers, I still totally get why others have it, but it's not for me.
If these next 2 years don't work out I'll see if any companies have anything cool out.

like a shiny T-Mobile Sidekick.

That seems nice but JESUS CHRIST 90 bucks per month for a plan on a single phone? That's nuts!

OT: Good for you man, I hope you'll enjoy it

When I can upgrade, I'll definitely be looking towards the SE. I have a 5S, and I don't really like the size of even the regular 6. SE is a big enough hardware upgrade for me to justify getting that instead of the 6.

The problem is that people don't want to "pay" for the phone when they start a contract. It's why so many people get new phones even though they cost so bloody much.

iPhone through contract:
(The absolute minimum you can get)


Cost of self-purchased phone.


I know I'm still getting gyped by my service provider but I can't afford $100 a month after tax.

Yeah.
Both my dad and my sister have the 6 and it's so large and just feels kinda wrong.

You do realize there's a normal sized 6, right? Not just the Plus?

The normal sized 6 is still too large.
The 3.5 - 4 inch form that Apple had carried for generations before is perfect for a little smartphone.

I really like the 4,7" screen size, feels just right for me. SE is basically the 6S with 4" screen.

any phone with a screen smaller than 5 inches is too small IMO. I have a 5.2" phone and I like that size.


hey man whatever sinks your ship

I mean, I have the iPhone 6S, and it's completely fine in terms of size. I haven't had any problems with the phone either.
My dad, on the other hand, got the plus version, and that stuff is WAY too big.

I absolutely adore my 6s

hey i don't hate you
i like ios devices
also im getting the SE soon



my phone is the iPhone 4

My fiancé has this phone and I can't even text on it because the screen is so small. I usually prefer nothing less than 5 inches for screen size.
You should check out StraightTalk if you ever get sick of your plan. You can convert any phone over to their service and have unlimited 4g lte from Verizon towers for only $45 a month. I used their service for a couple years when I was a broke college student.
