    For such a small screen, I can't see why I need 128gb, as I wouldn't watch movies or play games on it.

    • kiriakoz on 22/06/2018 - 16:34

      It's not THAT small. I have an SE and it's fine for Netflix and many games.

      I think it'd be hard to go back to this screen once you've upgraded to a larger one, but luckily, I never have.

      • pennypincher98 on 22/06/2018 - 18:05

        It's 4 inches. Who watches Netflix on a 4 inch screen???

        I get that a lot of games it's fine for but movies 4 inches is too small, the strain is not worth it. Of course if that's all you are used to though, it'll probably seem okay until you upgrade.

        • gosm on 22/06/2018 - 18:47

          I watch NBA, AFL and some Netflix on my SE. I find it to be satisfactory. Having said that my main TV is less than 30 inches so it’s what you get used to I guess.

        • bozbargain on 24/06/2018 - 11:18

          Movies, probably not. But perfectly fine to watch an episode of a TV series in bed when the other half is asleep. The difference between a 4” or a 4.7” screen is just a matter of putting it a few centimetres closer to your face.

        • kiriakoz on 24/06/2018 - 21:21

          Not only am I cheap, but I also don't want a bigger phone in my pocket.

        • SlappersOnly on 26/06/2018 - 18:56

          Hell. I have an SE and I read novels on it when I’m not at home with my iPad.

          I “downgraded” from my 6 that was terrible and shat Itself. I love my SE. It’s a nice size and never had dramas with battery life etc

        You could get an LG V20 for that money from somewhere like shopmonk, and Google Photos offers unlimited storage. And oh, the V20 is a far better phone, and easily compares with and outdoes more recent iphones.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/06/2018 - 20:09

      It's actually a bit big for my liking. I preferred the old iPhone 4 form factor. The SE is a bit tall to comfortably use one-handed.

      But it's one of the smallest phones on the market these days, so I have to settle for it even if it's not ideal.

      I definitely don't have any problems viewing content on it. But I'm certainly not going to watch a movie there - I wouldn't even do that on an iPad. That's what I have a big-screen TV for.

      • pennypincher98 on 22/06/2018 - 21:06

        Are you one of these people who when the iPhone 5 came up criticised how massive it was - saying they don't want to look like they are "holding up a book to their ear whenever there was a call".

        The smallest screen I actually watch videos on is my iPad (9.7 inches) but I'm really appreciating the extra screen size for day to day tasks with my Pixel 2XL

        • [Deactivated] on 22/06/2018 - 21:47
          +5

          Yes. It was, and is huge.

          The iPhone 4 was perfection. Everything since has been a downgrade in terms of form-factor. If I wanted a huge phone, I'd go back to 1993.

          But then, I'm almost always near a computer or tablet. So mostly I just use my phone for messages (iMessage, Viber, WeChat, etc), calls, photos, and quickly checking websites when I'm out and about.

          I don't have any need for a big screen on my phone, since I have access to plenty of them already.

        Way easier than a big phone to text/use whilst driving.

      i know it took ages for my mum to move to a 6s from a 4 then 5 then 5s

  • pizzaguy on 22/06/2018 - 16:29
    +19

    For those concerned - this is an equivalent to 6s, just smaller, without force touch (if you don't know it you don't really need it) and worse selfie camera (the rear/main camera is the same) and worse fingerprint reader.

    It will get software update this year and I'm pretty sure it will get updates next year(s) too. iPhone 7 is generally better, but has no audio jack. iPhone 6 (without "s") is slower than SE. iPhones 5 and 5s share only screen and design with SE; SE is better.

    I'd rather have SE than 6s. Also, to me SE looks is heaps better than 6/6s.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/06/2018 - 17:01
      +6

      It’s quicker than a 6S in practice as it’s processing for fewer pixels.

      iOS 12 running like a dream.

      Conflicting rumours on the status of a new model. Possibly pushed to next year, or never. Maybe they saw how well it runs iOS 12 and decided an update isn’t necessary considering it’s a budget model and may impact ASP if updated (particularly if updated with bezel-less design).

      • Diji1 on 22/06/2018 - 19:07

        Apparently Apple is looking to get rid of ports on the iPhone making everything wireless. The internet will be enraged all over again!

        I was going to buy an iPhone SE in late 2016, but decided to hold off on the new model because it was "coming soon".

        By late 2017, I caved in and just bought one.

        The new model is still "coming soon".

    • lovepub on 22/06/2018 - 19:29

      Looks Like you will be going for iPhone 9 then. It's similar shape to SE

        I myself never understood that. I have an S6 Edge with 32gb yet I have used like 13gb and that's me being precautios by installing apps I might need but don't actually use. Even have one or two games on there yet still have more than half of my storage left. I could easily manage with 16gb too

      • [Deactivated] on 22/06/2018 - 20:13

        I wonder if Japanese customers buy import phones, just so they can disable the shutter sound.

        You know, so they can take pictures in the library and other innocent things like that.

      Got a refurbished one from Officeworks for $150. Pretty much brand new as far as I'm concerned and still going strong now 6 months on. Great phone and incredibly convenient to handle and throw about but I'm ready to go back to big screen.

          I guess it's per store. When I got it, it still had the plastic wrap on screen. I think it may have been a return bought within the week, that went to Apple (per policy) then Apple refurb and sent back.

    For anyone wondering, this will most likely be refurbished, all factory scoop models are either returns or fixed items, don't expect brand new.

    • bozbargain on 23/06/2018 - 15:34

      Sounds unlikely to me. The fact that it’s only in one colour and in one size (which happens to be the least popular combination of both) indicates it could well just be clearance in general. The SE is now well over 2 years old. Nothing on JB’s page says that it’s a used model ‘Factory Scoop’ could mean anything (as with ‘Carton Damaged’) and is maybe something they say to keep Apple happy for selling their products at a high discount - I’ll return mine if it’s not in a sealed box.

      • doweyy on 23/06/2018 - 16:25

        Factory scoop never has any reference to carton damaged but most people have received either refurbs or returns

    Q. What are "Factory Scoop" products?
    A. Factory Scoops offer huge savings on everyday prices with red hot crazy deals on exclusive lines, supplier run-outs, refurbished stock and scoop purchases. These are online-only offers, not available in stores.

    Q. Does JB only sell new items on eBay?
    A. All items are new unless otherwise stated. From time-to-time we will sell refurbished and display stock.

    I have seen JB hifi sell refurbished factory scoop before and state it. So from there site I say this is brand new stock

      I'll just add further clarification - the phone I received was in the expected Apple retail box and was shrink wrapped. Exactly as you would expect if you were buying a phone over the counter from a major retailer.

    • bozbargain on 27/06/2018 - 12:38

      Slimline white box indicates it’s a refurb. This deal from JB came in the original Apple retail box, so with earphones, lightning cable, charger.
