I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
You can probably return the 6S.

I laughed when you told us all in your Being Poor Sucks thread that you wouldn't buy anything but Star Trek tickets for a year because you were all responsible
and now I laugh again
also you are obsessing over performance when the new model just barely edges out a 6S due to less pixels. big deal

I won't be buying one for some time, but if I were, choosing between Space Gray and Silver would be hella difficulty.

I think a nice option would be black bezel, silver phone.

Sprint. I'll check it out in the morning. The paper included says there's a $35 swap if I want a different model or color (I have this on a lease)

3ish minutes until it should start, and even the apps are down, hu-hu-hu-hurry up Cupertino!

Are people really excited for the smaller phone once again?
They could have refreshed the look and not just keep the 5S Shell with matte sides.

It's the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger of iPhones. Still great, just smaller.

Hell yes. I don't watch video on my phone so I don't need a gigantic screen. The smaller I can get away with, the better.
If they brought back the iPhone 4 size that'd be even nicer.

C'mon baby, zzzz
I'm really interested in this after breaking my Galaxy s6. The only thing i'm wondering about is the battery life. With Gs6 i got only like 2 hours of screen on time for a normal day and that is not enough to last me the whole day.
What was the batter life of iPhone 5s like? Worry free or barely making it for a day?

Store is up. I'm seeing delivery date of 3/31. It looks like they didn't make the nice silicone cases that the 6s series has, so if you're an ethical vegetarian you're SOL; leather cases only.

Luckily, Speck's iPhone 5 cases can be found in a variety of nice models and colors for quite cheap! Or you could always go Spigen. Regardless of material, nothing is totally ethical. if it ain't animal, it's petroleum based, so it's something to keep in mind. perhaps go caseless?

I've tried many; they're all not great compared to the Apple silicone cases. The hard shell cases provide little in the way of drop protection (no shock absorption). So yeah, I went caseless with the 5s, and would be the same deal here. But I didn't bite on the SE. I have the 6s right now, and losing some of the hardware features would be hard to swallow. The first-gen Touch ID basically doesn't work with my fingers. I think I'll wait and see if the SE gets updated with the iPhone 7 lineup.
Large screens aren't just for watching videos.
Rumor has it Apple will remove the headphone jack from the iPhone 7 releasing later this year.
iPhone SE has one.
iPhone 7 will probably not have it, rumor mill said so...
it's really an amazing phone. Apple managed to cram current high-end hardware into it and it's still the cheapest phone they have ever had. I think many android users will consider switching, just because this is the first competitively priced iPhone.

Managed to get my order in for iPhone SE Gold at around 7:05am UK time. And now we wait.

All phones from Apple have had one ever since they ditched the 4S years ago.

Apple say it's the same or better at a 6S across their various benchmarks.

wait, people actually want this? it seems like they found a warehouse full of old 4th generation iphones and just re-branded them.
because it's tiny. not to mention lacking basic features of today's phones. budget wise, i don't know about you but i usually pay a monthly fee for phones instead of buying it straight up

why would you not want it? Just because it looks the same?
It's a low budget high-end phone and will likely be supported for a very long time.
It's an iPhone 5S with 6S specs. I want a small phone with the power that big ones get. Yes please.
Sounds alright. My friends 6S doesn't last that long, but hopefully with real world use it'll be even better once review sites drop their results.
People want it because it's tiny, and the only major features the flagship 6S has that this doesn't are 3D Touch and a 5MP front camera.
I got a 6s a couple of months ago and am loving it. Though I have to admit that I'd prefer a smaller phone. The 5s was perfect size wise and this sounds amazing. The 6s is too big for me and too slippery when it's in my case. I'll try the sand stone case from OnePlusOne for the 6s first, but I'm really eager to try this one out.

How do I do I store pickup rather than delivery to my house on the Apple Store app? It said available for pickup at the retail store on the 31st, but just gives me a delivery option.
like what for example? Not dismissing your opinion, just curious what you consider a basic feature. There is not a big difference to iPhone 6/6s (which cost quiet a bit more), the only noteworthy would be smaller screen size, which some people consider a good trade if they can have a smaller phone.
And yes, i am buying my phones straight up. But even if you have a monthly plan, price is always important, i doubt your provider will just ignore the extra costs. At the end, the customer pays all of it.
