- certain 4G networks and the location (or lack of sufficient number) of towers might have an adverse impact on the battery life. If that isn't a concern OR if you can live with charging the phone at least twice a day, then the device should serve you well. | |

It's an offer available at retail stores only. Apple gives around 11800 cash back and Citibank gives 5000 additional cash back. Basically it's an interest free emi. | |

| ![]() I've got the iPhone SE and been using it for the past month. This is my first iPhone though I have a MacBook Air, iPad and iPod nano. So far it's been great. Still having hiccups with iTunes and unable to download pictures to my windows 10 laptop. |

| ![]() Any reviews of the SE? I'm planning to switch to it sometime later this year, so no real hurry to buy. I don't use (m)any apps (Email, GMaps, Whatsapp and a couple of others, no music/movies), so what storage option? All I really want to know is whether it would work a couple years before becoming obsolete (obsolete as in usage issues due to Apple stopping support, not out-of-style, I can live with that ![]() Please do not suggest I buy any other iPhone as I'm only shifting from my Android due to form-factor requirements, the small(er) screen is perfect for me. |

| ![]() @Chetan_Rao, if you can live with the 720p display, iPhone SE is amazing. I'm finally using it like a phone and not a device I have to keep modifying or upgrading. But I've used it only since March. |

Hey, if you're not going to be using a lot of multi media, I'd say 16GB would be ideal. But factoring in music and pictures, 16GB would be inadequate. I have been using the iPhone 5s since its launch (almost 3 years now) and no it doesn't hang, isn't slow or laggy, it could very well serve me for another year or two without any doubt. Problem I face is a lot of multimedia which my 32GB also falls short of. iPhones are an easy choice if you consider even using it for 3 years considering no slow, laggy, bad performance issues arise. Eyes closed go for it, the SE is mearly the 6s with a smaller screen! And no, it won't become obsolete, support should continue at least for 4-5 years, I still get all updates (few features maybe missing here and there which is nothing major and can be dealt with) Last edited by GranvilleDsouza : 6th June 2016 at 08:04. | |

The only thing it misses is the 3D Touch and the larger screen which are not show stopper for you. I will say go right ahead and enjoy the device. | |

| ![]() Not an issue. I'm not inclined to chase screen resolutions, some of which I literally can't see! Quote:
