Apple iPhone SE Q&A: Ask us anything about the potent munchkin

After our Galaxy S7/S7 edge and LG G5 Q&A sessions proved to be quite popular among you, we decided that it will only be fair if we do this for another top-ranking device that got launched just recently. Of course, that'd be Apple's iPhone SE.

Do you need a tissue? Maybe a tampon?
You should probably go to the multitude of Android/Samsung articles if the Apple ones make you sad... But then you even named yourself with a poor Apple pun, obsessed much?

Will you get over it. The SE design was chosen because of its compact nature similar to the 5S. Don't make ignorant comments.

I wasn't talking about me. I was asking the authors if they were disappointed - I couldn't care less about the design.

It's not an ignorant comment. Just because it has a compact body doesn't mean the actual design couldn't look like the 6/6s. People could have a compact device but with a modern design, how would that be a bad thing?

Why the heck does this look much better than the ugly 6/6S? LOL
On to the serious part:
How does it feel using a 4" screened phone after coming from an iPhone 6/6s? Also how's gaming on it?

Thanks for your article on how to insert a sim into the iPhone 6S, but how do you insert the sim in this phone?

Pry open the back with a crowbar, insert the sim and glue it back.

Why only 8.8 rating on your review?!? It is apple product and deserves 9.5 minimum!!!

Does the iPhone SE feature the same NVMe storage found in the iPhone 6s?

The headphone audio output seems to be considerably low for SE as opposed to the other iphones that we have seen so far (.47 for SE,1 for 5S,.98 for 6S) ,is it really that bad??
This to me is a real deal breaker ,I like my music loud and this kind of seems very low ,can you please confirm on this?

This will take me straight to the 6s. I was bummed when I saw the info in the review. Anyway, waiting for the GSM Arena review too, and if this info is the same I will go for the older model even though I loath the bigger display.

Does the SE heat up more than the 6s because of it's small size?

How do the PA Authors feel about the SE having the same design as the iP5 did 4 years ago, do you think Apple should have changed it?

For those 6s/6sp owners, how does it feel to use an iPhone that doesn't have 3D touch?
I for one could never see myself going back to a phone that doesn't have a force touch display.

Why is the so much praised?
Example it only has a 640p screen, for 2016 that is pretty crap!

The screen is 4", which results in a PPI of 326. This is what modern phones should have and the SE has it.

I clearly saw a difference in term of sharpness going from my nexus 4 (about 32X PPI) to my one plus one (401 PPI) but I didn't see much of a difference when I switched to the S7 (5XX PPI (I know it uses pentile matrices)) so neither 32X and 5XX PPI is what every modern phone should have.
