When I showed my co-workers the new phone, they were left confused. "Isn't it just the 5S?" they consistently asked. And while it does look the 5S (shown here in the silver model), it has most of the features the iPhone 6S offers. Even better, in the short time I've used it, it feels like it opens apps much faster and, yes, the battery life actually lasts longer. After restoring it, using it all day, and opening battery-intensive apps, it still had 40 percent left of its battery. Considering many iPhone 6S users are starting to complain about their phones tapping out by noon at 20 percent, the iPhone SE doesn't look like a bad option for those who want an upgrade without dealing with a bigger phone.
