Buying an iphone handset

[Brand86]

I've just switched to a sim only contract with EE and currently have a 16bg iPhone 6, which is kind of OK except the screen is a bit messed up (not cracked but pixelated over part of the screen)

If I sell it, is the iPhone SE worth considering or should I wait for the next iPhone? The iPhone 7 doesn't really seem much better than what I have now.

From what I've been told it's worth it just for the battery life. Plus if you order direct with Apple don't think give the option to upgrading after 12 months?

 

[Brand86]

Oh I hadn't considered that. I found I can sell my current phone for £100 (or £200 if I fix the screen) and the new SE 64 GB is £300 which seems like a pretty good deal. I'll have a look on the Apple store although quite a few on eBay which could be worth considering?

I may have an iPhone 6 64GB for sale soon, with a brand new screen (& receipt for it) fitted yesterday.

I've got a 6 mate I was just considering the SE for the better battery and faster CPU

Ah sorry - thought you were changing because your 6 was knackered. The SE is the same size as the 5 isn't it but with the power of the 6S?

 

[Brand86]

That's correct - looks quite nice, I personally don't think the 7 is worth the upgrade so this could be a nice stopgap

8 will be out next year too (more than likely) and it'll be Apples 10 year anniversary of the iPhones.. I think?

 

[Marc.]

Correct

 

[Brand86]

Yeah - so don't want to spend a fortune right now. TBH my 6 is OK as it is so might just keep it then upgrade to an 8 next year.

Currently costing me £20 a month for 16gb of data and all my calls and texts which is pretty good.

Having just gone from a 6 to a 7, I can safely say it's definitely worth while and a very noticeable upgrade. 6S to 7 might be a different story however.

 

[Brand86]

I think the SE is the same as the 6S - I'm on a 6 so might feel like more of a jump. I heard the different between 6S and 7 didn't feel like such a leap...I'll have a sleep on it I think!

 

[Chrisgti6]

Just remember the SE is smaller than the 6.

Do you really want to go backwards in screen size?

 

[DrR]

back wards in terms of screen size?

You in 10 years?

In what ways? I'm holding out from my 6 until the next one.

I went for a Plus this time round.

Speed, battery life, the instant Touch ID, 3D Touch.

Plenty of upgrades over the iPhone 6 IMO, that's without even looking at the camera improvements.
