I have seen it at this price with them a few times recently, but usually only have one or two in stock, there is currently 27 Grey ones, and a few in other colours too.
I am an android kind of guy, that's just the kind of guy I am, but I do like the Se size and quality and have been tempted (just that irritating lightning charger thing puts me off).
Anyhow, still probably the best iPhone you can get.

Thanks for posting this deal! Been looking to get the SE for a while. I had the 6 and hated it ever since I bought it, always had issues and had to take it back, plus the size of it was too big to get used to.
The 7 is a joke.
You can also get 5 quid back on TCB or quidco. I might try it on TCB. Quidco has always let me down, pretty much hit and miss that site.

I have 5S, can someone who maybe had 5S and moved to SE tell me if the WiFi range/performance is any better. My one is not bad its just when I get to loft room connected to my TP link router on ground floor with Virgin 70Mb i get about 10-15Mb over vpn and youtube becomes sluggish.
and also do any of you reckon Apple might make a SE smaller edition iPhone again next year perhaps?. I agree with people here 5S/SE size is so nice and compact and feels like a tiny device that does so much ad chargers very quick too.

I have had the 5s,6,6sPlus and now the SE. It's way way more speedier than the S and the wifi ac receiver is much better. It's a huge performance leap and you will notice it. It's just updated to ios10 and runs great. If you haven't had any of the larger phones inbetween you will take to the SE like a duck to water. I really like it for pocketability. I now use my iPad more for heavy duty browsing though.

I compared my old 5s with my current SE and yes I found that the wifi had improved with the SE in my case. I also found that the 5s wasn't much slower and sometimes faster which was interesting. Buy from John Lewis and get 2 years warranty

I asked them if it was SIM free or Network unlocked and got a stock answer that didn't answer my question. Asked them to clarify if this is retail stock or not and got jack **** in response.
So unless someone who bought one says any diff here, these are probably ex-network and will need reactivating if you ever swap SIM cards.

If your unsure if it will lock to the network of the first sim you put in, just sling a THREE sim in the phone. They will then unlock it FREE for you.

It's starting to struggle a bit now with freezing and battery life but not bad considering it's coming up to 5 years old. I'll treat myself to a new phone for Xmas, most likely an SE

I had a 6 from launch.
I do prefer smaller phones but got used to it (only just). In the last few months, I was having to charge it overnight (as usual) and during the day too.
I was hoping for a smaller option when the 7 came out.
Bought a 7 but took it back without even opening and got myself an SE last week.
I absolutely love it.
Perfect size with one handed operation. Slips into my pocket easily and the battery life goes nearly 2 full days on one charge with the same amount of use as when I had my 6.
Slicker in operation than my 6.
There aren't many options for small competent smartphones, apart from Sony Z3/5 (as previously mentioned).
I don't see myself going to a larger size phone anytime soon.

They don't sell the data on, unlike Google, so they just simply use your data to provide better services. Look at how far Apple maps has come! It was awful to begin with and now they're starting to form a half-decent competitor to Google maps. Obviously Google maps still has the edge and will do for some time, but it just shows how much effort Apple is putting into the iPhone as a whole.

I've always had great service from Smartfonestore. I asked them directly about the "returned unopened" on new products and they said as the item would be returned used they would only refund Grade A+ value. Not great but you can see their position although they need to be clearer about this.

No ones buying, still 27 in stock, whats the difference between a 6S & Se, anything major?
Smaller screen and no 3D Touch (big whoop). Plus part of the issue is that by having an SE (in any colour other than Rose Gold), it looks like you're rocking a 5s from 2013 which is just so not cool.
OK, so that's sarcastic of me but the SE is a very good phone and the only real competitor for the small phone crown other than Sony Z3/Z5/X Compact series.

Purchased this a while back (from Apple themselves) and recently traded it in. I miss it BIG TIME. Huge mistake trading it in. You don't realise how amazing this phone is until you don't have it. Fingerprint for Apple pay, super quick processor for games and general use, great battery life (2 days if you don't push it hard) and it charges fairly quick too. I went to android and i've regretted it - android is definitely better than it used to be, but it just feels like Google is mining all of your data whereas Apple doesn't feel like that at all.

I'm more iPhone 6 but I do have the excellent £29.99 plus tenner top up Moto E which doubles also as a spare phone and in car GPM "iPod" as well as a pocket computer.
Had the 6 plus for a few months, which seemed like a good idea at the time. The size was really a pain for fitting in pockets etc, so I bought the se. What a great choice, a really great phone that I wont be changing again in a hurry. The video shot in 1080/60fps is absolutely stunning when watched on a 50" screen.

I had an iPhone SE and it's great if you really want a smaller phone. Same size and design as the 5S but the internal specs of the 6S. It really feels like a little powerhouse...very fast...no lag and very good battery life of about two days. Camera is good as well. It also has fingerprint sensor and works with Apple Pay.
I did find it a bit small for typing but if you're used to a smaller screen it's good.
