I thought it was time to give IOS a shot, so I purchased an iphone SE. My impression of it so far is that it's fast, fluid, takes great pictures with the main camera ( very average from the front facing one) and it pretty much does everything I need.
One question and please don't take offense, but why so much hate? I mean at the end of the day, if it feels right to you and meets your requirements, what's the fuss? In New Zealand the 6s 64Gb is $400 more than the SE 64Gb which wasn't worth it to me but it may be for others and that's cool.
The extra features of the 6s ( mainly the 5mp front facing camera and 3D touch) would be nice to have, but in reality, wouldn't affect my day to day usage, but it could be a deal breaker for others - especially for those who take a lot of selfies. Go check them out at the store and get whichever feels best to you. My 2 cents. ( Side note: they have a pretty good resell value so if you hate it, you can get rid of it lol) . Happy Hunting : )
