I'm still on the 5 and was reluctant to upgrade mainly due to the size. Might consider this one when the 5 finally breaks down.

#12If they don't offer a (limited) model styled after the Mac SE, they're doing it wrong.
Complete with the loud BING as the startup sound?
Re: iPhone SE
#13$399 USD is great, but why are we still stuck with 16 GB of storage on base model phones? You can barely put a day's worth of music on your phone and you cannot always stream via services like Spotify. Spotify accounts for 2 GB of traffic per month on my phone and some plans are barely affordable when you want more than that--fortunately I can do up to 6 GB before I am traffic shaped, but that isn't the say the same…
It encourages people to spend an extra $100. If the base model were 32GB, far fewer would.

I used to be in your camp but honestly, after using iPhone 6 (not PLUS) I am okay. I actually don't use my phone all the time. It is mainly sitting on my desk or in my pocket on the go. My hand is not huge per se, just regular size, like any grown up male in his 20s. Comparing to the old model with smaller screen, the larger screen does increase read space which is quite pleasant. Give it a try.

If you really want to use an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus with one hand, just double-tap (not press, tap) the home button and the software adjusts the display size for you.

Going for 16GB storage on my 5S might be what makes me upgrade...otherwise the phone still seems fast / good enough for most tasks after 2.5 years of ownership.

I read it special edition like motherboard / slimmed edition. Usually SE is a trimmed down edition...

#19The market is not impressed with the announcements so far.
