isn't that sad, when Apple "improves" the product, and then older models skyrocket on eBay/Amazon/CL.

I still like the non-rounded edges better than the new iPhones.

I have a 6s and kinda wish it has the more square edges of the 5, the 6s just slips around in my hand. The SE screen is small in comparison, although everyone has their preferences.

I'm sure you meant no 1/8" headphone minijack. If there ever was a phone with RCA audio outputs then Apple would be well within their rights to remove that feature!

Mike,

The 6S is very slippy. The design of the edges doesn't have a bearing on the matter. I keep mine in an Otterbox Defender. 'course, I need a durable, extra protective case. However, I'd keep the 6S in some kind of case even if extra protection wasn't a requirement. The phone is too slippy without a case that is at least somewhat grippy.

....so the S in 6S.....stands for Slippery....???

I agree that the iP6 series design demands a case. Too slippery for most people.

If I had thought more, if have written 'analog audio jack' as the feature Apple is removing.

Hard to say whether it would be better to wait for the 7.

Otherwise, I'd say it's just a matter of your preference for screen size. You said you like the form factor of the SE. I like the form factor, too, but I prefer the larger screen of the 6s. If they could figure out how to put the larger screen on a smaller phone I'd be in good shape. :wink:
