I am due to recontract soon. I am an IOS user switch to Andriod and thinking to switch back.

I am thinking of getting Iphone SE (for the cheaper alternative) since the specs is not much of a difference from Iphone 6.

However, in view that I have not use IOS for quite sometime, would like some advice on the phone itself.

My ipad (first gen) do not have rubbish apps attached to it like some of the andriod providers. I am wondering if this still stay the same?

For me, size and weight are the most important factors, so I went with SE. Another family member like the latest thingy, so she went with 7.

In terms of apps, no telco third party bloat, just apple's own. Good thing iOS 10 can hide them anyway.

Cost wise I think hard to beat iPhone SE. It's small, and design isn't too new, but the specs is still top notch, and battery life is good too for my use. If you don't need the latest and greatest, don't mind a smaller screen, and want cheap, then iPhone SE.

Specs wise, definitely the newest iPhone will be the best, but of course you pay a higher price.

At this point I wouldn't recommend iPhone 6 considering not much price diff compared to the iPhone SE, and the camera is only 8MP vs 12MP on the SE. Processor is faster, and battery life is better too.

Look around in sales thread, pick up a good deal for iPhone 6S.

A lot of people will be selling them to upgrade to 7, and that will be the best option to be honest.

I am using the SE, switched from the 6 earlier this year and I will be getting the 7 later this week.

My reason to get the SE was because I always loved the design and the form factor of the iPhone 5 since it came out. Long story short, the main reason I went to SE from the 6 was because of the design without sacrificing performance. Well actually it was an upgrade for the performance too.

Over time I realize what I was missing from my 6. Which was the larger screen. Everything looks like they have been forced into a little box in my SE. Typing can be annoying at times. Not to the extent where you want to throw your phone at the wall but i tend to be more delicate to prevent typos. Some of the positive things in SE would be the battery life. It's really good based on my experience.

I will be shifting to the 7 because I believe I need the 3D Touch to fully experience iOS 10. And the introduction of OIS are just some of the few reasons.

These are my views and opinions. Take your time and get the device that you feel suitable for your usage.

If I remember correctly, the size of SE is almost the same to Iphone 4 and Iphone 4s.

So I am okay with the screen size.

My constraints are mainly budget. So I reckon that SE will be a good buy for this sense.
