The battery in the SE is un-real for an iPhone.

Your list makes absolutely zero sense.

Why does a list of personal preferences need to make sense?

The iPhone SE is just as powerful as an iPhone 6s, just smaller. If I were you I'd go for the SE, considering you're gettinh 64 gb of storage too. There's also been a lot of cases where the iPhone 6's casing bends, ultimately cracking the screen which I'm sure you don't want.

Absolute nonsense. Don't take any heed of this mush.

The only reason to get the iPhone 6 is the bigger screen, the SE is better for everything else. As you don't mention screen size. It suggests the SE is a no brainer for you.

It works out at €510 in Belfast vs €600 on the site for the 32GB model. Obviously you have to Factor in going up to collect it

Well its a case of how long do you think you have the phone for etc?

Basically the SE is a 5, so if apple release the 7 this year will they stop supporting the SE after a year etc.

Really ? Most people say it's better than a 6, just with a smaller screen

Its a 5/5s with slightly better specs. As for better than a 6... In my experience the 6 is better than it but I use bigger phones all the time so alot of people are probably saying that as the smaller size suits them better

I disagree.

SE is a 6s with a smaller screen.

The 5s is almost a 6 with a smaller screen.

It's gonna be the SE for me as soon as I know someone going to the states!! $499 for the 64gb model there is about €450, so worth the wait for a few weeks for me!

Where did you get this from? Link? Apple support products for hardware and software for 5 years from end of manufacture according to their support site. Since the SE was only released this year then support continues until at least 2021.

Also the SE and the 6s have the same processor and memory (iPhone SE and iPhone 6S – Apple A9, CPU: Dual-core 1.84 GHz Twister, GPU: PowerVR GT7600 (six-core graphics), 2GB RAM)

As a result the battery life is way better than the 6s.
The camera on the back is also the same

Here is a link to compare specs http://www.apple.com/uk/iphone/compare/

If it is a choice between an SE and a 6 (not the 6s) then there is no comparison. unless you really want the bigger screen the SE is a way better phone.

I got the SE (64Gb model) and it is a smashing little phone. I've been using bigger phones for the last year or so e.g. Sony Xperia Z1 etc but I have a tablet, a laptop so I just made the decision to go back to a smaller phone, I didn't need a big phone. It is super fast too. Happy to have got it.

Excuse me? At least give me the courtesy of doing some research before name calling, it has been proven many times that the iPhone 6's casing bends.

The phones bend but only in specific situations. Like you always have it in a back pocket. Etc.

There are other reasons perhaps for avoiding the 6 and 6+ . They have a screen issue that doesn't seem to effect other models like the 6s etc. It's in the news this week.

I like the 5s and SE but i would find the screen a bit small.
